What Clients Say

""Before AIQ, our inventory team spent Fridays reconciling spreadsheets from our ERP, supplier portals, and on-site counts—it was a nightmare during peak bridge construction rushes. Now, the AI handles it automatically with RFID scans, and we've shaved two full days off our weekly material close. Production's up 15% without adding headcount, letting us bid on more contracts.""

Mike Harlan

Operations Manager, Precision Steel Fabricators Inc.

""We were losing hours every shift to manual quality checks on structural welds and bolted assemblies. AIQ built a system that scans and logs defects in real-time via our overhead cameras and laser inspectors. It's cut rework by 40% and our defect rate dropped from 8% to under 2% in just three months, keeping our high-rise projects on schedule.""

Sarah Kline

Quality Assurance Director, Modular Building Systems Ltd.

""Equipment downtime on our excavators and forklifts was killing us—foremen chasing handwritten logs instead of fixing hydraulic issues. Their custom AI alerts us instantly via mobile apps and pulls maintenance history from telematics data. Saved us $50K last quarter in unplanned stops during foundation work, and the crew's actually excited about the predictive alerts now.""

Common Questions

How does AI workflow automation integrate with my existing manufacturing software?

We start by mapping your current setup—think ERP like Epicor or shop floor tools like MES systems. Our custom builds create deep, two-way integrations that pull data in real-time, like syncing machine outputs directly to inventory logs. No more manual uploads that cause delays. We've done this for shops with legacy PLCs, ensuring compatibility without ripping out what works. The result? A single source of truth that saves hours on reconciliation and reduces errors by up to 50%. It's all tailored, so it fits your exact flow without disruption.

What kind of time savings can I expect in my manufacturing operations?

You're probably thinking about your team's wasted time on repetitive tasks. In manufacturing, we typically see 20-30 hours saved per week per shift by automating things like production logging and inventory checks. For example, one client cut shift handover time from 45 minutes to 5 by using AI to summarize the previous run. This isn't fluff—it's ROI-focused, with efficiency gains that often pay back the investment in 4-6 months through higher throughput and lower labor costs. We quantify it upfront based on your workflows.

Is this AI solution scalable for growing manufacturing businesses?

Absolutely, scalability is core to what we do. Unlike no-code tools that buckle under load, our custom systems use robust frameworks that handle everything from small-batch runs to high-volume lines. Imagine adding a new assembly station—our AI adapts without rebuilds, integrating new sensors or data streams seamlessly. We've scaled solutions for manufacturers doubling output in a year, maintaining speed and accuracy. It's like expanding your factory footprint: built to grow with you, ensuring your workflows stay efficient as demands rise.

How do you ensure the AI understands our specific manufacturing processes?

We don't assume—we immerse. Our process begins with on-site discovery, shadowing your lines to capture nuances like custom routing for parts or seasonal demand spikes. Then, we train the AI on your data, from historical yields to machine logs, creating models that predict your realities, not generics. Here's the thing: it's iterative, with your input at every step. A tooling manufacturer we worked with saw the AI flag a recurring weld defect pattern they hadn't noticed, boosting quality. This hands-on approach makes it feel like an extension of your team.

What about data security in a manufacturing environment?

Security is non-negotiable, especially with proprietary designs and compliance like ISO standards. We build with encryption end-to-end, offering on-premise deployment if cloud isn't your thing, so your IP stays in-house. Access controls mimic your hierarchies—foremen see line data, execs get overviews. We've audited systems for regulated sectors, ensuring GDPR or NIST compliance. No vendor lock-in means you control your data forever. Think of it as locking down your blueprint vault: robust, reliable, and tailored to keep your operations safe from breaches.

How long does it take to implement AI workflow automation for manufacturing?

Timelines vary by complexity, but for most mid-sized shops, we're talking 8-12 weeks from kickoff to live. Week 1-2: deep dive into your processes. Weeks 3-6: building and testing integrations, like linking your CNC outputs to inventory. Final weeks: training and go-live with minimal downtime—often just a weekend for cutover. We phased it for a parts maker, starting with one line to prove value before full rollout. This keeps your production humming while we deliver quick wins, like automated alerts within the first month.
