Where the flywheel closes.
Lens is our fourth product and the one we’re releasing soon. Real-time SQDC boards, anomalies flagged before they become KPI misses, and AI-suggested improvements your site or operations manager approves with one tap.
Request a demoReal-time SQDC
The shop-floor board that updates itself.
Safety, quality, delivery, cost, and other metrics. On a board that reflects this shift, not last week’s whiteboard session. No more waiting weeks for a WMS report to arrive. Lens pulls the numbers so your morning meeting starts with the situation, not the data collection.
- Live SQDC view per site, line, and shift
- No manual number-hunting before the stand-up
- Site-to-site comparison across the network
Anomaly detection
Catch the drift before it becomes an SLA penalty.
Most problems announce themselves quietly: pick errors creeping up on one line, a process taking longer every week. Lens spots the patterns and proposes a next best actions. Which your site manager approves or dismisses. Nothing happens without you in the loop.
- Anomalies flagged as they emerge, not at the end of the day, week, or even month
- AI-suggested next best actions, human-approvals to apply
- Built to scale your lean managers, not sideline them
Shop-floor process mining
Celonis mines your systems. Lens mines your shop floor.
Event-log process mining stops where the physical work begins: the WMS sees the scan, not the ninety seconds around it. Lens displays the event log for manual work. Step-level MTM from work-instruction signals. So you see which process runs unusually long, which step has the most variability, and where the bottleneck actually sits. Per process, per line, per site.
- Timings, variants, and bottlenecks where no event log exists so far
- Benchmarking across sites, shifts, and teams running the same process
- SLA monitoring and forecasting for the numbers your contracts run on
The flywheel closes
Approved improvements roll themselves out.
The point of the whole how.fm product platform. When a site manager approves an improvement, Lens updates the standard in Lean. And Learn retrains everyone affected, in every language. One site’s lesson becomes every site’s standard.
- Improvements flow back into Lean and Learn
- Standards, training, and reality stay in sync
- Every site inherits what any site learns
Our vision, shaped together
This is where the flywheel is heading.
Lens is scheduled to ship in 2027, built on the foundation that runs on hundred sites today. It is still shaped by co-innovation partners who run real floors.

Common questions
What ops leaders ask us
Can I buy Lens today?
Soon. Lens comes in 2027, and we’d rather tell you that than sell you a mockup. Lean and Learn are available now, Live is launching. Lens is where they’re heading together.
Will the AI change processes on its own?
No. Every improvement Lens suggests is approved by the the responsible person before anything rolls out. how.fm AI proposes, the person who owns the site decides.
What will Lens need to work?
Your standards in Lean, your training in Learn, Live signals from the floor. Sites that build that foundation now will be the sites where Lens works on day one. Providing you with a competitive advantage tomorrow.
How do we get involved before 2027?
We are looking for co-innovation partners already. Building Lens with a small group of operators who tell us what a shift lead actually needs to see. Company- and site-specific.
Turn any site into a center of excellence.
