The AI agent for industrial engineers
Sauna reads time studies, layout data, and throughput logs, drafts capacity models and standard-work sheets, flags bottlenecks, and builds improvement business cases — sourced from your data and held for your approval.
What it does
What Sauna does for industrial engineers
- 01
Model the capacity
Reads cycle times and demand from Google Sheets and drafts a capacity model showing where the line tops out and which station constrains it.
- 02
Set the standards
Turns your time-study data into standard-work and labor-standard sheets in Google Docs, with the observed times and allowances shown.
- 03
Build the business case
Drafts a cost-benefit for a proposed layout or automation change — investment, labor savings, and payback — into Google Slides for the capital review.
- 04
Find the bottleneck
Analyzes throughput and WIP across stations and drafts a flag identifying the constraint and the queue building behind it.

Ask in chat. It does the work.
Sauna shows up where you already work — the web app, Slack, email, iMessage, and Superhuman. It reads what it needs, does the task, and comes back with the draft for your approval.

Ask in plain words
The literal prompt for this job. Open it in Sauna and it picks up from there.
“Build a capacity model for the assembly cell from the cycle times and current demand, tell me the bottleneck station, and draft a business case for adding a second fixture.”

Good to know
Questions, answered.
Will the business-case numbers be real?
They're built from your connected time-study and cost data with the assumptions shown. It's a strong first draft with auditable inputs — you verify the savings before it goes to the capital review.
Can it approve a layout change?
No. It models capacity and drafts the case, but the decision and the capital approval stay with you and your review board.
Is my data safe?
Sauna reads only what you connect, and acts only after you approve. Your workspace and its memory are yours, not training data.
