Modernise production systems.
Reduce risk and waste. Keep control.
For leaders accountable for production change. BlackLake takes ownership of modernisation across software, data, and automation. Work starts with the BlackLake Blueprint: a paid, structured assessment that produces a scoped plan, risks, and a sequence of changes you can operate.
- Disciplined operating model
- Baselines, guardrails, controlled rollout
- Work shown with context
Multiple inputs flow through constraint analysis to produce a validated Blueprint.
Proof
Outcomes, stated conservatively
Quantified signals from case studies, described without client identifiers.
Consistent processing even under load
Held within budget for safety-critical paths
97% reduction in batch critical path
Less capital tied up in slow-moving inventory
Pillars
Systems. Intelligence. Product.
Work is scoped around what actually blocks production change: brittle systems, unclear behaviour, and tools that don’t match operators.
Cloud Architecture & Infrastructure
Stabilise interfaces, deployment, and run-time control so change ships without regressions or surprise spend.
Applied AI & Machine Learning
Apply AI where it measurably reduces human load, with explicit constraints, baselines, and safe fallbacks.
Full-Stack Development
Build operator-facing tools with performance baselines, clear ownership, and safe releases.
Selected work
Examples with context
Real projects described with constraints, tradeoffs, and outcomes.
Supply chain & logistics
4 monthsEvent-driven logistics orchestration
A multi-region logistics platform suffered cascading failures during peak demand. The monolithic event processor couldn't scale horizontally, and retry storms amplified outages. We redesigned the event architecture for predictable throughput.
Telecommunications
6 monthsLow-latency edge processing for connected vehicles
A telecom provider needed sub-10ms processing for vehicle-to-infrastructure communication. Cloud round-trips exceeded latency budgets. We designed an edge compute layer that kept critical decisions local.
Financial analytics
3 monthsMarket data pipeline modernisation
A quantitative analytics platform had unpredictable refresh cycles and escalating warehouse costs. Downstream models missed time windows. We restructured the pipeline for predictable time-to-data.
Process
Blueprint → Build → Calibrate
Modernisation work stays safe when constraints and rollback are explicit.
- 1BlueprintA paid assessment that produces scope, risks, and a delivery sequence you can run.
- 2BuildShip changes with baselines, guardrails, and controlled rollout.
- 3CalibrateMeasure behaviour, tighten the system, and hand over runbooks and ownership.
