Sinoeth Consulting Service
Root-cause engineering · Chicago

I find the root cause of expensive problems in laundry and manufacturing plants: equipment, controls, data, and the people running them.

For plant operators who are tired of paying for symptoms, and for equipment makers and distributors who want someone who has run their machines at production scale.

What I do

Equipment and controls

Tunnel washers, dryers, presses, ironers, calenders, PLC-driven lines. Diagnosis, repair strategy, and the fix the manual says is not possible. Serial and PLC protocols included.

Data and reporting

Turn spreadsheets, the CMMS, and the timeclock into numbers management will act on. Overtime, downtime, rewash, cost per pound, asset history. AI-assisted where it earns its keep.

Systems and people

Maintenance programs, PM structure, work-order discipline, vendor management, and the training that makes a crew actually use the system you paid for.

How it works

  1. One call.

    You describe the problem. I tell you whether I can move it, what it will take, and what it costs.

  2. Scoped estimate.

    Fixed price where the problem is bounded, day rate where it is not. Estimates and invoices through Square.

  3. Findings in writing.

    Plain language, with the numbers, and a fix your own team can maintain after I leave.
