AI-Powered Agents in Manufacturing

AI Agents, Working for You

Bill of Materials & Routing

Agents can analyze complex part structures, show complete BOM breakdowns, identify input materials at each operation, and calculate rolled-up costs

Operator Interface

Agents can track work sessions, show what each operator is currently working on, generate daily productivity summaries, and identify attendance issues

WIP & Inventory

Agents can provide real-time inventory status, show what's available vs. claimed, identify material shortages, and track work-in-progress through operations
Can you compare the BOM for Rev A vs Rev B of this product and highlight changes in cost or structure?

Comparison of Product X Rev A vs Rev B:

  • Added: Subassembly C (new, cost $3.25/unit)
  • Removed: Part A2 (replaced by Part A3, cost increase of $0.50/unit)
  • Material Impact: Overall material cost increased by 7%
  • Rolled-up Unit Cost: Rev A = $191.25 → Rev B = $204.00

Recommendation: Consider alternate sourcing for Part A3 to mitigate cost increase.

Which operator has the best on-time performance?

Jake R. leads the floor with 96% on-time completion over 120 jobs this year.

How much WIP is on the floor right now?

$182,000 worth of jobs are in WIP — spread across 27 active travelers.

Supercharge Your Travelers

Give your operators instant access to documentation, dates, and priorities to ensure work is done on time the first time.

Fast routing

Fast Track Routing and BOM Creation

Effortlessly create powerful routing and BOMs—eliminating the guesswork for your production team.

  • Create complex routings with assigned processes, work centers, and support for multi-input operations
  • Modify routings in real time to ensure production stays up to date even when processes or requirements change.
  • Empower operators with detailed documentation, including rich text support, images, file attachments, and commenting.

BOM and BOO

Visualize Production Capacity

Quickly visualize your bill of materials and bill of operations to identify bottlenecks before they affect production.

  • Visualize production from anywhere to stay updated without being on the production floor.
  • Create complex assemblies with multiple production items and easily analyze where you can increase efficiency.
  • Identify production slowdowns by reviewing in-depth process information to know exactly where a job is delayed

Material Planning

Plan for Inventory, Tooling and Materials

Assign items to routings and processes to ensure you always have what you need when you need it.

  • Assign tooling to processes so operators know what they need and where it is.
  • Know inventory amounts prior to scheduling a job and automatically notify purchasers if anything needs to be resupplied or purchased.
  • Document where inventory lives and where to place it after each operation to stop wasting time searching for stock.

Naming structure

Naming Structure and Revision Control

Track revisions and product lifecycle, flag rough drafts and first article components, and enforce a consistent naming structure for all components.

  • Track revisions and product lifecycle so you can track manufacturing on historical and new iterations.
  • Flag Drafts and First Article Components so they can be easily spotted from the schedule or shop floor.
  • Enforce naming structure so every components follows the same nomenclature.
