Tools we wire together
Live signal
Domain-specific tooling, engineered in-house.
Every card below is a working pattern we've shipped or scoped for a real manufacturing & industrial client — not a wishlist.
Production Tracking & ERP
Real-time production dashboards connected to your ERP and accounting system. Whiteboards and spreadsheets retired.
Quality Control & Inspection
Mobile apps for logging defects, capturing evidence, and raising shop-floor alerts — with an automatic digital audit trail.
GST Filing & Compliance
Automate GST reconciliation, e-invoicing, and compliance paperwork — accounts focuses on analysis, not data entry.
Vendor & Procurement Portal
Vendor onboarding, RFQ, three-way match, and payment workflows on one portal — slashing the PO-to-pay cycle.
Maintenance & Asset Tracking
Preventive maintenance schedules, downtime logging, and spare-parts visibility — keeping critical assets running and audited.
Health, Safety & Incident Logs
Mobile-first incident reporting, near-miss capture, and HSE dashboards — turning safety from paperwork into a managed metric.
Shop-floor IoT & Sensor Integration
Wire critical machines into a live data feed — OEE, downtime cause, energy consumption — without ripping out PLCs. Production data becomes a dashboard, not a whiteboard.
EHS & Pollution Control Filings
Automate state-PCB consent renewals, fugitive-emission logs, and effluent-treatment data. EHS audits move from paper boxes to filtered queries.
Customer Self-service Reorder Portal
B2B portal where your customers see their orders, raise reorders, track shipments, and download invoices — slashing customer-service load and stickying the relationship.
Tools typically used
The pain points manufacturing & industrial teams actually live with.
These are the workflows that quietly drain margin, staff time, and patience. Every system we build starts from one of these.
Production reality lives on whiteboards
Shift supervisors update whiteboards by hand. By the time the MIS report hits the GM's inbox, the data is two days old and partly invented.
Downtime causes diagnosed by memory
Machines stop. Reasons get logged on paper, sometimes. Root-cause analysis becomes a meeting of opinions, not a query against data.
Inventory shortages and write-offs
Stock counts diverge across plants. Shortages stop production lines on a Tuesday; obsolete material gets written off on a Wednesday. Both surface in next month's MIS.
Compliance done in fire-drill mode
GST returns, pollution-control filings, EHS audits — every deadline triggers a scramble across departments. One missed filing, one inspector visit, one bad quarter.
Procurement cycle still on email
RFQs go out by email. Quotes come back as PDFs. Three-way match (PO ↔ GRN ↔ invoice) happens in Excel. Payment cycles drag and vendor relationships sour.
Quality issues caught at the customer
Defects ship and bounce back as customer complaints. Internal inspection data sits on paper. The pattern that would have prevented this lives nowhere queryable.
AI isn't bolted on. It's built into the workflow.
Specific, working uses of LLMs and ML in real manufacturing & industrialoperations — not generic “AI-powered” marketing.
Predictive maintenance on critical assets
Sensor-fed models flagging bearing wear, motor strain, and thermal drift — pushing maintenance from calendar-based to condition-based and slashing unplanned downtime.
Vision-based quality inspection
Computer-vision models on the line catching surface defects, dimensional drift, and assembly errors in real time — at speeds humans can't match consistently.
AI demand & inventory forecasting
SKU-and-plant-level demand forecasts factoring seasonality, customer mix, and lead times — turning purchasing from gut-feel into a model.
Downtime cause classification
An LLM classifies free-text downtime logs into a clean taxonomy, surfacing dominant causes weekly — so improvements target the actual problem, not the loudest one.
Procurement copilot for RFQs & quotes
Parse vendor quotes from PDFs, normalise them into a comparison matrix, and draft negotiation responses — purchasing focuses on judgement, not data entry.
Compliance document generation
Generate pollution-control filings, GST returns, and EHS audit packets from source data, with LLM-driven sanity checks before submission.
Discovery to production, no surprises.
A four-stage framework with AI capability called out at each step — so you can see exactly where machine learning earns its keep.
- 01
Discovery & shop-floor walkthrough
We spend time on the floor, ride along on a shift, and audit your ERP and quality stack. You leave with a written plan covering production visibility, inventory, and compliance gaps.
AIAI-assisted analysis on the last 90 days of production logs and downtime entries.
- 02
MVP in 6–8 weeks
We ship the highest-value workflow first — usually unified inventory or shop-floor OEE dashboards. Live in one line or one plant, with operators and supervisors using it daily.
AILLM-bootstrapped data model, seed reference data, and ERP integration scaffolding.
- 03
Rollout across lines & plants
Plant-by-plant rollout with operator training, parallel-run, and integration with existing ERP / accounting. We're on the floor during cutover, not on a Zoom call.
AIAuto-mapping of legacy spreadsheet data into the new schema during migration.
- 04
Run, measure & compound
Monthly review of OEE, scrap rate, on-time delivery, and inventory accuracy. Quarterly tuning of forecasting and predictive-maintenance models against fresh data.
AIAnomaly alerts on production drift, quality slips, and inventory variance.
Built for the regulations you actually answer to.
Every system we ship comes with the controls and audit surface your inspectors will ask for — designed in from day one, not bolted on later.
GST e-invoicing & e-way bill
Native e-invoice generation, e-way bill creation and extension, and reconciliation against GSTR-2B — built into the order-to-cash and procure-to-pay pipelines.
ISO 9001 / 14001 / 45001 evidence
Quality, environment, and safety processes captured with the audit trail and document control these standards require — making certification reviews routine, not a fire-drill.
Pollution Control Board filings
State PCB consent renewals, fugitive-emission logs, and effluent-treatment data tracked with expiry alerts. Compliance shifts from year-end panic to calendar.
Labour, ESI / EPF & factories act
Worker records, statutory deductions, and factories-act compliance (registers, leave, hours) captured with audit-grade evidence — supporting both internal HR and inspector visits.
How we'd approach real manufacturing & industrial engagements.
Concrete scenarios, scoped from real conversations. Each one is a pattern we'd execute on day one.
Component maker — shop-floor visibility & production OEE
The disciplines that make this work.
Common questions answered.
Can you integrate with our existing ERP (SAP, Tally, Zoho, custom)?
What if our PLCs and machines aren't connected to anything?
Where will production and inventory data live?
How long until we're live in one plant?
Can you do predictive maintenance without specialised hardware?
You're a new firm — why trust you with production-critical systems?
