Pricing follows the deployment: prove the loop on a single assembly cell, take the whole factory when the return is measured, standardise across sites when it is repeatable.

Figures are customer-reported medians and are not a guarantee of results. A line assessment produces a modelled figure for your specific station.
Rivetira is priced on the metric it moves. This is the value stack from a representative 14-station wing-box deployment.

A typical account starts on one cell, is absorbed into a factory agreement within a year, and adds outcome components as the metrics it is priced on move.

Inspecting every hole rather than one in four is the entire point. Charging per inspection would push you back toward sampling.
The as-built record lives on your edge storage. We do not meter your own program data back to you.
Mechanics, quality engineers, planners and program managers all need the same picture. Per-seat pricing would ration it.
Your MES, PLM and quality systems should read from Rivetira constantly. Metering that would make integration worse.
Three weeks. We instrument one station, measure the current rework, shim and takt reality, and return a modelled ROI. No production disruption, no cost.

One cell, one agent, shadow then advisory mode. Baselines are locked in writing before go-live so the result is not arguable.
From$16,000 / mo
All seven agents across every station, the as-built twin, and closed-loop autonomy earned station by station.

Multi-site governance, custom models, air-gapped programs and outcome-based commercials.

Every agent starts by watching. It is promoted only when its measured accuracy clears the mechanic-plus-metrology baseline and the twin agrees.
Weeks 1–4
Agent observes the station, predicts every outcome, actuates nothing. Accuracy measured against what the mechanics actually do.
Weeks 4–10
Agent recommends feed, shim geometry and sequence. A human accepts or rejects; every rejection becomes training data.
Weeks 10–20
Agent actuates with a human in the loop and a live fail-safe stop. Airworthiness-critical dispositions still require sign-off.
Week 20+
Agent runs the step. Humans handle exceptions and the twin gates any change to the control policy.

Plant directors, liaison engineers and airworthiness leads on what autonomy did to their numbers.
“We stopped arguing about whether the gap was 0.4 or 0.6 millimetres. The twin predicted it, the shim came off the machine right, and the join closed in one pass.”
−64% shim hours per join
“The rate ramp was going to cost us four more positions. Instead the line rebalanced itself every shift and we found the capacity inside the stations we already had.”
+38% delivered rate
“Every hole is now inspected, not one in four. My airworthiness record writes itself, and I can hand an auditor a complete trace in ninety seconds.”
100% inspection coverage
Airframes assembled on Rivetira across commercial, defense, business-jet, eVTOL and space-structure programs: 8 factories, 70 assembly stations.
Anything else goes to the people who build it. Ask an assembly engineer or read the full FAQ.
One physically bounded work area with its own machines and its own station acceptance — a wing skin-to-spar cell, a fuselage section join, an empennage attach fixture. If a mechanic would call it a station, we call it a cell.
Cell deployments include integration. Factory and Enterprise deployments include a scoped integration engagement; work beyond that scope — unusual OT protocols, bespoke MES adapters, new machine classes — is quoted separately and fixed-price.
Rivetira is software. Most stations already have the metrology and machine base we need; where sensors are missing we specify commodity hardware you buy directly, typically $40k–$120k per station. We do not resell hardware at a markup.
You and Rivetira agree a baseline in writing before go-live, measured from the same telemetry the agents use. A portion of the fee — typically 60% of enterprise ACV — is earned only when the agreed metric moves. If it does not move, we do not earn it.
Cell agreements are quarterly. Factory agreements are annual with a 90-day exit for a missed SLA. Your as-built data is yours and is exported in open formats on request, during or after the agreement.
Air-gapped deployment carries additional delivery cost, which is reflected in enterprise pricing rather than a separate line item. Cleared on-site support is quoted per program.
A line assessment maps one station, quantifies the rework, shim and rate opportunity, and returns a modelled ROI in three weeks. No production disruption.
