Welcome to Metis Automation:
Helping Manufacturers Build Quality Products, Faster.
At Metis Automation, we believe manufacturing should be fast, accurate, and stress-free. That’s why we created Tascus—to eliminate production headaches and give you full control over your factory.
Our mission is simple: to make manufacturing easier, smarter, and more reliable—so you can focus on what matters most.
Our Founding Story
Martin Griffiths, our CTO and Co-Founder, started his career on the shop floor of Tier One Automotive companies, where he saw firsthand how manual errors led to costly mistakes. Frustrated by preventable defects and inefficiencies, he set out to create a better way forward.
He transitioned into software engineering, and in 2009, he and his wife Bernadette Griffiths founded Metis Automation. Their goal? To build software that empowers manufacturers to create high-quality products—faster, easier, and with less stress.
Today, Tascus is used by manufacturers across Europe and America to eliminate paper-based inefficiencies and bring the benefits of Industry 4.0 to the factory floor.
What’s Possible with Tascus? Manufacturers use Tascus to eliminate paper-based inefficiencies, reduce errors, and speed up production. By bringing the benefits of Industry 4.0 to the factory floor, Tascus helps teams work smarter, make better decisions, and build products they’re proud of.
🏆 Award-Winning Innovation: Tascus was awarded the Industry 4.0 Award by the Northern Automotive Alliance for its impact on manufacturing efficiency.
