rSTAR Technologies

Forward Deployed Engineering

Turn AI promise into
operational value

Most enterprise AI never leaves the pilot. rSTAR embeds industry-native engineering teams alongside yours, working your highest-priority problems until production-ready solutions are live and delivering.

Utility & industrial engineering depth

Industry-native engineers for regulated, asset-intensive operations.

What rSTAR Delivers

A full engineering stack embedded inside your operation — not a single point solution handed off at the end of a pilot.

01

AI & Agent Engineering

Production-grade agentic AI grounded in real utility and industrial workflows, not generic demos. Agents support customer operations, outage response, asset intelligence, field operations and engineering workflows, with human-in-the-loop controls designed for regulated environments.

02

Data Platform Engineering

Governed foundations across Snowflake, Azure, and GCP, modeled to IEC CIM and other industrial canonical standards so grid, plant, and customer data are queryable and trustworthy from day one, not months into the build.

03

Custom Software Delivery

A library of prebuilt microservices and integrations spanning CIS, OMS, MES, SCADA, and ERP systems cuts months of ground-up development while preserving fit to your environment.

04

Governance & Compliance

NERC-CIP-aware, FERC/PUC-ready deployments with full data lineage and ISO 27001 aligned security practices built in from sprint one, not retrofitted the week before an audit.

05

Legacy Modernization

Migrate off Oracle, Teradata, SQL Server, or Hadoop without disrupting the operations that depend on them every day.

06

Enterprise Integration

Certified across Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, and Salesforce, connecting the full operational stack from plant floor to enterprise systems.

Benefits: Results That Compound

Outcomes measured in production value, not decks — each one reinforces the next as solutions scale.

Value 01

Faster Value Realization

Concept to operationalized delivery in as little as 11 days, because we start with the operational outcome, not the technology. Value arrives while a traditional pilot would still be in discovery.

Value 02

Reduced Development Cost

Aligning to real operational needs early and reusing rSTAR’s prebuilt industry accelerators cuts solution cost well below a ground-up build.

Value 03

Enhanced Scalability

Once a solution proves out at one site, the same pod carries the pattern across sites, regions, and functions in a fraction of the usual time.

Value 04

Improved Productivity

Governed automation and deployed agentic AI lift workforce output on the repetitive, high-volume tasks consuming operator time today.

Depth: Industry-Native From Day One

20+ years of utility and industrial engineering experience fluent in the systems that run the plant and the grid before the first sprint begins.

Grid, Customer, Asset & Compliance

20+ years of engineering depth in CIS, OMS, MDM, GIS, WAM/EAM, AMI, and SCADA/OT — teams that read a one-line diagram as fluently as a data model.

Why the Model Outperforms Staff Augmentation

We don’t hand you a deck — we sit inside your operation and ship, then transfer the capability as we go.

The rSTAR FDE Promise

“We didn’t have to teach rSTAR our industry. Their engineers embedded with our team, built on data they already understood, and had a production solution live while a traditional pilot would still have been in discovery.”

The rSTAR FDE Promise

To utility & manufacturing leaders

Deploy a Forward Deployed Engineering Team

Move your highest-priority AI initiative from stalled pilot to live value.

Book a discovery call to scope your first embedded engagement.

Bring an rSTAR forward deployed engineering pod into your highest-priority initiative and move it from stalled pilot to production, with the capability transferred to your team along the way.

What Deployment Includes

A working session to scope the operational outcome, the embedded pod, and the delivery plan.
