We help factories achieve peak performance, by capturing and sharing expert knowledge.
Get the knowledge out of your expert’s head and make it available and applicable to everyone on the shop floor.
Our only requirement for success? That you have an expert in-house.
How we bring knowledge out of heads to the shop floor
With our scientific methodology, we capture what the expert pays attention to, what he does when there are deviations, and which settings affect the process and quality.
In a short time, we bring out the essence of his or her knowledge. No matter how much experience someone has. No matter how complex your process is.
The result is one digital overview, in which the most important relationships in the production process become visible. And it can be used immediately by your people on the floor.
Every organization has experts who know exactly what to do when errors occur, can hear whether the machine is running well, and which choices matter when creating a new design or product.
With ELICIT, you make this knowledge quickly available so you can:
- Better control process and quality
- Resolve errors or issues faster, more easily, and independently
- Get new employees up to speed faster

Van Merksteijn: Less downtime
Van Merksteijn Fencing Systems ran into a number of problems in production. Breaking in new employees took a lot of time. Also, the training program for new employees was not available digitally. Another major pain point for Van Merksteijn was the lack of a uniform working method. In addition, employees have a lot of experience knowledge, but it was not recorded anywhere. That knowledge was in danger of being lost when they retired. Finally, operators were dependent on other, more experienced colleagues for breakdowns and other problems. That cost time, and therefore money.
