Knowledge sits in silos
ERP, MES, PLM and file shares each hold a piece. Connecting them still takes an expert and an afternoon.
INDUSTRIAL & MANUFACTURING
AI for manufacturing that keeps your know-how in-house.
Document inspections by voice, check freight costs and track material prices in a fraction of the time – while production, engineering and supplier data stay protected.
WHY IT MATTERS
Your shop floor holds the answers. Nobody can connect them.
Work orders, machine data, quality records and material news sit in separate systems – and the experts who connect them are scarce.
Specialists buried in paperwork
Inspections, reports and data entry eat into the time of the people you can least spare.
Margins under pressure
Material prices, freight costs and demand shift fast. Reacting late costs margin.
EXAMPLE FROM A CLIENT
Up to 80% fewer overtime hours for your specialists.
How a plant specialist documents a site inspection today – dictated on the spot instead of written up after a full working day.
- 1THE TASK
The walkthrough
A specialist inspects the production site and records progress, defects and damage by voice.
- 2WITH 48°
The note writes itself
An assistant turns the voice memo into a structured table within minutes.
- 3
The specialist confirms
Before anything enters the system, the specialist confirms the entries along a few clearly defined checkpoints.
- 4
Your system fills up
The data is written into your existing system through an integration – no typing it in by hand.
- 5
The report is built
The documentation is created in the same chat, with current figures, in the company’s branding.
- 6RESULT
Overtime drops
Specialists save overtime and keep their focus on skilled work – and you save on staffing cost.
USE CASES
Four jobs manufacturing teams stop doing by hand.
Typical first use cases from purchasing, logistics and engineering – each running on 48° modules, with your experts in control.
INPUT Rated by Weight, INPUT Rated by Volume → STEP Compare → OUTPUT True Freight Cost CHAT · INTEGRATIONS
Check freight costs with real accuracy.
Shipments are rated by weight and volume together, so low-weight, high-volume loads stop quietly eroding your margin.
Explore ChatSOURCE Commodity & Market News → STEP Detect Price Move, STEP Assess Impact → OUTPUT Purchasing Alert RADAR · CHAT
Monitor material prices and markets.
Price swings and market signals are tracked from the sources you choose, so purchasing acts early and no cost increase catches your margin off guard.
Explore RadarSOURCE Demand Plan, SOURCE Stock Levels, SOURCE Lead Times → STEP Combine → OUTPUT Early Warning KNOWLEDGE HUB · INTEGRATIONS
Match demand to logistics data.
Demand planning, stock levels and lead times come together, so shortages show up early and teams can ask about stock in plain language.
Explore Knowledge HubINPUT Which tolerance applies to this part? → STEP Search Specs, STEP Check Permissions → OUTPUT Answer with Source KNOWLEDGE HUB · CHAT
Put engineering knowledge within reach.
Specs, manuals, work instructions and quality records become searchable, so new and experienced staff find the right answer – with its source.
