Manufacturing automation solutions

We automate the paperwork spine of plants that run on ISO 9001 and IATF 16949: NCR triage, supplier 8D chasing, PPAP assembly, cert checks at goods-in, OEE reporting out of the MES. Judgement stays with your quality and production engineers; the chasing and cross-checking stops eating their week. Everything is built around the ERP, MES and QMS you already run.

Use cases

• Chases overdue supplier 8Ds, checks containment and corrective actions actually landed, and updates the NCR
• Reads inbound 3.1 material certs against PO and drawing spec, flagging mismatches before goods-in accepts the batch
• Assembles PPAP submissions — PSW, control plan, dimensional results, MSA — from documents already in PLM and QMS
• Posts reason-coded OEE and downtime summaries from MES data before the morning production meeting
• Logs customer complaints as NCRs in the QMS, assigns containment, and drafts the interim (D3) response
• Watches ECN releases and flags open works orders still building to the superseded drawing revision
• Builds monthly supplier scorecards — PPM, OTIF, open NCRs — from ERP receipts and quality records
• Reconciles customer EDI call-offs (DELFOR/DELJIT) against confirmed capacity and warns planning about demand spikes

Common workflow problems

• Shop-floor NCRs sit half-closed in a spreadsheet until a customer audit is announced, then everyone scrambles.
• PPAP packs mean days of hunting the latest control plan revision across shared drives and email threads.
• Monday's OEE number gets argued about because downtime reasons were guessed at the end of Friday's shift.
• A batch gets built to the superseded revision because the ECN never made it onto the traveller.
• Supplier 8Ds arrive late, root cause reads 'operator error' again, and nobody verifies the corrective action held.

How we help

• We connect to the systems you already run — ERP, MES, QMS, PLM — through supported APIs and interfaces, not another portal for the shop floor to ignore.
• Outputs are grounded in your controlled documents: the current drawing revision in PLM, the released control plan in the QMS, the actual MES log.
• Customer- and supplier-facing messages go out as drafts until your engineer approves; full automation only where you decide the risk is trivial.
• Ambiguity escalates instead of guessing — a cert that half-matches or a complaint hinting at a safety characteristic goes straight to a named person.
• Every automated action is logged with its inputs, so ISO 9001 and IATF auditors can trace each record end to end.

Systems we work with in this sector

We build around the estate you have: SAP, Infor LN or Epicor as ERP; Ignition or Siemens Opcenter on the shop floor; ETQ Reliance or Ideagen Q-Pulse as QMS; Windchill or Teamcenter for PLM; CMMS such as Fiix.

Frequently asked questions

Our drawings and quality records sit under NDAs and customer-specific requirements. Where does your AI actually run?

On EU-hosted infrastructure, with your data segregated per client and never used to train shared models. Access is scoped to what each automation needs — read-only wherever possible — and covered by a data processing agreement. Drawings, control plans and complaint records stay inside that boundary; nothing routes through consumer AI tools.

We run a heavily customised SAP ECC and a QMS full of workflows. Can you integrate without breaking anything?

We work through supported interfaces: IDocs, BAPIs and OData for SAP, REST APIs for most QMS and MES platforms, ODBC or scheduled exports where nothing better exists. We read before we write, and anything writing back passes the same validation your own users face. Your existing workflows stay untouched; the automation sits alongside them.

What should we not automate in a plant like ours?

Decisions that carry the liability: NCR disposition, concession approval, PSW sign-off, anything touching a safety or regulatory characteristic. We automate the assembly, chasing and cross-checking around those decisions, and the record shows a named person made the call. If a task needs an engineer's judgement, the system's job is to bring the evidence, not to decide.

Where do most manufacturers start?

One contained, document-heavy loop with a clear owner — supplier 8D chasing, cert checks at goods-in, or the morning OEE report. We deploy it against systems you already run, you judge it on closed NCRs and chased actions, and it extends only if it earns it. No per-seat licensing means the pilot does not commit you to a rollout.
