AI development for Elkhart — helping the RV Capital of the World build smarter with artificial intelligence.
Why Elkhart Businesses Need AI Now
Elkhart produces over 80% of all RVs manufactured in the United States. That kind of industrial dominance doesn't happen by accident — it happens because Elkhart businesses adopt the best tools before their competitors do. AI is the next tool.
From predictive maintenance on production lines to AI-powered supply chain management, Elkhart manufacturers can reduce downtime, cut waste, and increase throughput. And it's not just manufacturing — every Elkhart business from hospitality to healthcare can benefit from intelligent automation.

Built by a Northeast Indiana Native
Elkhart didn't become the RV Capital of the World by standing still. The same drive for innovation that built this city's manufacturing dominance is exactly what AI amplifies. Smarter production, faster decisions, lower costs.
The Fort AI Agency was founded by Andy Oberlin — a Fort Wayne technology veteran with 20+ years of IT experience, a Computer Science degree, and two decades running managed IT services companies. He's also the head wrestling coach at Homestead High School and owner of The Fort Wrestling facility.
When national AI companies quote you $50,000+ for basic automation, we deliver the same enterprise-grade solutions at a fraction of the cost — because we live here in Northeast Indiana, and we believe Elkhart businesses deserve world-class technology.
