About Us
Innovation and technology, built for manufacturing
A Inverse (A⁻¹) exists to close the gap between what modern technology can do and what manufacturing plants actually run every day.
A Inverse (A⁻¹) was founded to bring serious innovation and technology support back to manufacturing. Since the 1980s, talent and capital have steadily drifted from the plant floor toward internet and consumer software. That shift never really reversed—and today, many manufacturing sectors operate five to twenty years behind the technology curve when it comes to adoption.
We started this company because we believe manufacturing deserves the same caliber of tools, methods, and engineering rigor as any other industry. Our designs and solutions are meant to raise the bar—using modern control, automation, and analytics where they actually improve efficiency and quality, not where they merely sound impressive.
Our team blends deep experience in both manufacturing and technology. That dual background helps us cut through buzzwords and vendor hype and focus on the approaches that really move production and quality.
We are a premier provider of Control System Design, Panel Design, Automation Programming, Motor Control, and 24/7 System Support. Based in Northwest Indiana, we proudly serve clients locally and nationwide—designing and implementing reliable control systems, robust motor controls, and automation tailored to how your facility actually runs.

“A Inverse”? What’s that?
A name rooted in how hard problems get solved
At its core, the inverse of a matrix is one of the most powerful ideas in applied mathematics. Technologies such as artificial intelligence, optimization, machine learning, regression, systems of differential equations, graphics, control theory, and machine vision all build on the same foundation: solving systems of equations. Those systems are often written in the familiar form
A·x=b
When you need the optimal solution for that system, you reach for the inverse of matrix A—denoted A⁻¹—read as A Inverse.
Why that matters to us: we want to be the partner you call when the problem is messy, the stakes are high, and the answer has to be right—bringing mathematical precision and practical engineering together so your operation can move forward with confidence.
…and we love math.
