Fractional Chief AI Officer · Greater Hunter
Senior AI leadership for manufacturers and heavy industry, without the full-time cost. Know where you stand before you move.
The problem
AI adoption in heavy industry is under pressure from every direction: vendors, boards, peer comparisons. Most of it lands badly. Frontline teams aren't trained. Executives don't have a clear picture. Operations leaders are stuck between strategic pressure and what's actually workable on the ground.
Integrated AI exists to change that. I help Hunter region industrial businesses implement AI with confidence. Not generic tech consulting. Operational leadership that understands your world.
The most expensive AI mistakes happen when organisations move before they're ready. Buying tools without the foundation to direct them. Running pilots that don't connect to the operation. Building on sand.
Industrial AI Benchmark
The Industrial AI Benchmark is built specifically for heavy industry businesses across NSW. Twelve questions, about two minutes, using real responses from operations like yours. This is not a vendor survey. It's an objective measure of where you actually stand against the field, and the one gap costing you the most right now.
You can't see the whole field from inside your own operation. This shows you.
What your result shows
What a fractional CAIO does
Strategic AI leadership embedded in your business one to two days per week. Strategy, governance, pilot selection, and change management, without the full-time cost. C-suite AI expertise calibrated to your operational reality, not tech theory.
For manufacturing companies, mining services, equipment fabricators, and industrial operators ready to move from curiosity to implementation.
What we do
Every engagement starts with where you are, not where a vendor wants you to be. No retainers until you're ready. No technology without a foundation. We don't sell software. We sell clarity.

Grounded in industry
Industrial AI doesn't work without operational grounding. Anyone can talk about AI strategy. Fewer people have spent years embedded in the operational reality of heavy industry and built the credibility to lead change on a working site.
Integrated AI operates as a division of Integrated Contracting Pty Ltd. We're active in the contracting, fabrication, and industrial services landscape, not observing it from the outside.

The pattern from the last two waves is sitting right there. The businesses that got value were the ones whose leaders owned the change from the top, not the ones who handed it to whoever was closest.
