By the time you see it, you've already lost the material
Formation and aging mean your quality signal arrives weeks after the upstream cause. Every event carries hidden committed cost.

The problem
Three problems we hear every time we talk to a plant team
Defect risk becomes expensive when plant teams can't turn scattered process, lot, equipment, and quality history into timely action.
Your data exists. It just doesn't talk to itself.
MES, historian, SPC, QMS, shift notes — the data is there. Getting it to line up around a specific defect event is the actual engineering problem.
Half the investigation is just finding the starting point.
Before your team can investigate, they have to reconstruct what happened across five systems. That's hours per event, every time.
Pilot motion
First signal in 5 days
Lychee scopes a tight first pilot — one line, one defect family, one KPI — so plant teams can evaluate fast.
0 days
From historian credentials to first prediction
Historian, MES, and lot context connected, validated, and surfacing risk on real lots.
0 weeks earlier
Than your current process catches them
Defects flagged from coating-and-drying signals before formation confirms — the gap where scrap and cycle time compound.
The record
We beat Amazon’s Chronos and the Nature Energy gold-standard benchmark
Independently validated on six public benchmarks across four chemistries — one hybrid model, no per-chemistry retuning.
