Nail the starting point. Everything else compounds.
The difference between impact and noise is knowing which manufacturing problem to solve first. One working session with your operators finds it, locks the metric, and sets the sequence.
Five decisions. Each one unlocks the next.
Every phase produces a deliverable. Every deliverable earns the next decision. No committee required.
Working Session
45 min. One operator from each side. We leave with the workflow we will ship first — production scheduling, dispatch optimisation, invoice reconciliation — the success metric, and the data we need.
Provisioning
Tenant configured inside your infrastructure. SSO integrated. Audit trail live from day one. Connected to your ERP, MES, and source systems.
Configure, Not Build
Configured against your actual manufacturing data. Not a toy dataset. Your production orders, your invoices, your contracts, your mill test certificates.
Parallel Run
Runs alongside your current process on the factory floor. Every output compared. Discrepancies triaged. Confidence compounds.
Live & Compounding
In production. Second capability starts configuration the moment the first crosses the line.
Each phase ends with a hand-off, not a meeting.
Where to go next
How It Works — Five-Phase Deployment
Ready to lock the first workflow?

What happens in a Dana AI working session?
A 45-minute session with one operator from each side. You leave with the workflow to automate first, the success metric, and the data needed to start. No slide decks.
Is Dana AI configured or custom-built?
Configured against your actual manufacturing data during weeks 2-3. Not a demo dataset. Your production orders, invoices, contracts, and mill test certificates.
What happens after the first capability goes live?
The second capability starts configuration the moment the first crosses the line. The shared substrate means each new capability inherits context from everything already running.
Dana AI by Dana Groups — Sovereign Industrial AI for the GCC
Dana AI is the artificial intelligence division of Dana Groups, a UAE-based industrial conglomerate with heritage dating to 1991. The current holding structure has operated since 2009 across eight companies in steel manufacturing, oil and gas services, industrial equipment, water heating systems, and commodity trading. The Dana AI deployment process moves every customer from working session to production inside 30 to 45 days through five sequential phases — working session, provisioning, configure-not-build, parallel run, and live-and-compounding — against the customer's actual manufacturing data on infrastructure they own. Deployments span the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, and Kuwait. Dana AI is not affiliated with Dana Incorporated (NYSE: DAN), Dana Air, or any other entity using the Dana name.
