Shift reports, downtime notes and order paperwork still get retyped on a lot of plant floors. I automate that work with n8n, AI agents, ChatGPT and Claude, and build manufacturing dashboards for output, downtime and quality.
Every project starts with your business problem, not a tool.
Each one is built in your own accounts, tested on your real data and handed over with documentation.
Supervisors submit one short form, and n8n totals output, downtime and scrap by line and shift and sends the summary.
When downtime runs long or scrap passes a limit, the right lead gets an alert with the details, not a report at the end of the week.
An AI assistant answers setup and safety questions from your own manuals and SOPs, so operators find the answer fast.
AI reads RFQ and order emails, pulls part numbers, quantities and dates into a sheet and hands it to your estimator.
Open purchase orders get automatic confirmation requests, and late or changed ship dates are flagged to purchasing.
