AI systems for industrial manufacturing.
The workflow pattern we see in this industry, and what we would build for it.
01
Inbound spec arrives
A buyer emails a drawing or spec pack. Someone re-types it into the system.
02
Engineering review
An engineer checks feasibility by hand. The spec waits in a queue for their time.
03
Quote assembled
Pricing is pulled from spreadsheets and old quotes. The draft passes between desks.
04
Order booked
The win is keyed into the ERP by hand. Nothing from the quote carries over.
A quote desk agent.
An agent that reads inbound specs, drafts quotes for human review, and routes exceptions to your engineers. Your team keeps the final say on every quote. The agent removes the re-typing and the queue time.
10 to 14 weeks from kickoff to a live production system. We stay through adoption.
Eval harness
Checks agent outputs against a test set before release.
Reliability gates
Hard checks the system must pass before it ships.
Live production system
The working system in your stack, not a report.
