Operational readiness and operational excellence are crucial to the life sciences and mission critical industries, as they are highly regulated and require stringent compliance standards. CAI, a professional services firm composed of engineering, quality, and operations experts, accelerates operational readiness to ensure smooth project start-up and operation with minimal errors and downtime. In addition, its operational excellence services focus on maintaining and continuously improving performance standards to achieve the highest levels of efficiency, quality, and cost-effectiveness.
Established in 1998 in Indianapolis as a commissioning qualification and validation company, CAI has evolved into a global team, assembling top-tier talent from across the world to bring expertise to every stage of a project, from creating comprehensive, detailed project plans to achieving full-scale production operations, into rigorous asset management, reliability, and sustainability activities.
Amidst a cross-industry digital transformation, CAI is incorporating the cutting-edge technology needed to ensure flexibility, speed, and scalability in its projects. Its superior digital support provides access to powerful and consolidated validation software, AI computer vision to automate visual inspections, AR platforms that are revolutionizing staff training, maintenance, and overall efficiency, virtual twinning technologies that support the quick creation of 3D representations of facilities and systems, and more.
For example, after relying on a third-party facility-management company for 20 years, a life sciences client gave CAI a tight deadline to integrate assets of an eight-building, 750k-square-foot campus into bulk data importers. To address this, CAI assembled local, remote, and offshore talent to successfully implement Reality Capture technology and create a full Digital Twin of the campus and corresponding comprehensive asset records and maintenance plans in less than 75 days. As a result, the project was completed on time and under budget, providing the client with a fully populated Digital Twin that enhances facilities planning and management, also yielding a fixed-price gain of more than $200,000 and saving the equivalent of 1.5 full-time employees annually in support.
As 2025 fastly approaches, CAI holds its position as a one-stop-shop for revolutionary technologies and methodologies that streamline operations, maximize staff knowledge retention and safety, and optimize overall performance – remaining dedicated to its mission in engineering the future.
