Digitally Transforming Modern Manufacturing: mode40 Joins AI4M

AI4Manufacturing is proud to welcome mode40 to the ecosystem - a company redefining what digital transformation looks like inside modern manufacturing operations. 

Founded in 2020, mode40 was born from Cameron Bergen’s two decades of hands-on experience leading global manufacturing transformation. Before launching the company, Bergen was an industry leader, responsible for heading projects that led to record cost reductions and the on-time completion of the F&B facility in Neepawa, Manitoba - Manitoba’s second-largest capital project, and one of North America’s most technologically advanced manufacturing plants to date. 

Today, mode40 brings that real-world experience to manufacturers through MAST (Manufacturing Source of Truth) - the world’s first Agentic AI MES platform. Unlike traditional dashboards, MAST is designed to continuously analyze production data, automate complex planning decisions, and identify hidden performance losses in real time. 

The results are real and tangible. In one mid-sized manufacturing organization, mode40 delivered up to a 30% workflow improvement in select work cells and double-digit performance gains across entire facilities, all within 160 days. In another case, they reduced non-value-added time by 50%, enabling the most profitable second shift in company history. 
But technology alone isn’t the challenge. 

“Change management and adoption is still one of the biggest fundamental challenges we have,” Bergen explains. “Are you really ready for change? Are you willing to grit through the challenge of it? Because the guarantee is that it’s going to be challenging.” 

As AI adoption accelerates globally, Bergen notes that Canadian manufacturers risk falling behind U.S. competitors by three to five years - not because of a lack of innovation, but because scaling beyond pilot projects remains difficult. 

mode40’s commitment to measurable performance, shared accountability, and game-changing outcomes makes them a powerful addition to the AI4M ecosystem - and a strong voice in shaping Canada’s digital manufacturing future.  You can learn more about how mode40 online at Digital Transformation for Modern Manufacturers | mode40 and follow them on LinkedIn to stay up to date with what they are working on!
