Our Custom-Built Dashboards for Your Manufacturing Floor
We've engineered solutions for over 50 manufacturing firms, turning raw data into field-tested tools that withstand the grind of daily operations.
Why Choose Us
Let's be honest—you're probably thinking your current setup of ERP scraps and Excel sheets is 'good enough' until a line goes down and costs skyrocket. Here's the thing: we build dashboards tailored to your exact workflow, pulling from your PLCs, MES, and inventory systems into one unified view. No templates. Just practical, ROI-driven interfaces that give you visibility into every press, conveyor, and assembly station. Think of it like reinforcing a factory beam—strong, custom, and built to last through peak seasons.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Actionable Insights That Pay Off Immediately
Real-Time Production Monitoring
Real-Time Production Monitoring: See OEE scores update live across your assembly lines and fabrication shops, catching variances in concrete pouring rates or steel cutting speeds before they balloon into hours of lost output. One precast concrete client reduced unplanned downtime on mixer trucks by 30% in just two months, freeing up capacity for rush bridge projects without hiring extra crews.
Smarter Inventory and Supply Decisions
Smarter Inventory and Supply Decisions: Track raw material levels like lumber and HVAC components plus vendor performance in one glance, preventing those surprise stockouts that halt framing crews or production lines. Manufacturers using our dashboards report 20% less overstock in sheet metal stockpiles, turning tied-up capital into faster cash flow for crane upgrades or new CNC tools.
Streamlined Quality Control Tracking
Streamlined Quality Control Tracking: Monitor defect trends in rebar placement and yield rates from injection molding instantly, spotting patterns in batch runs before scrap piles up in the yard. This isn't guesswork—it's data-driven fixes that cut rework on structural beams by 15%, helping you hit tighter tolerances on heavy machinery parts without constant site walkthroughs.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's dashboard, we were piecing together shift reports from our ERP, MES, and field logs during our busiest concrete batching runs—it was total chaos. Now, everything's in one spot, and we've shaved two hours off daily pour scheduling. Output's up 18% without adding extra concrete crews."
Mike Harlan
Operations Manager, Precision Precast Solutions
"Our old setup meant waiting until end-of-day for efficiency numbers on our excavators and CNC mills, which killed us on tight foundation deadlines. The custom dashboard they built integrates our telematics data directly—downtime alerts come straight to our tablets. Saved us from a major structural delay last quarter by catching a hydraulic issue early on a site crane."
Sarah Kline
Plant and Site Supervisor, Apex Steel Fabricators
"You're probably thinking dashboards are just fancy charts, but this one predicts inventory needs for gypsum board based on our seasonal high-rise spikes. No more last-minute rushes to suppliers during peak framing season. We've cut excess stock by 25% and improved on-time deliveries for modular units to 98%."

Supply Chain Director, Forge Construction Partners

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How do your dashboards handle data from older manufacturing equipment?
We get it—many manufacturing setups rely on legacy PLCs and sensors from the '90s that don't play nice with modern software. Our approach starts with a full audit of your equipment, then we build custom API bridges or middleware to pull data reliably, even from outdated protocols like Modbus. For one auto parts fabricator, this meant integrating 15-year-old welding robots without replacing hardware, delivering live cycle times in under 60 seconds. It's all about minimal disruption: we test in phases, ensuring no line stops during rollout. The result? You gain visibility without the big CapEx hit, and everything stays field-tested for your daily rhythms. Plus, it's scalable—if you upgrade to IoT later, the dashboard evolves with it.
What makes your custom dashboards different from off-the-shelf tools like Tableau?
Off-the-shelf options are great for basic charts, but in manufacturing, you need something that grips your specific workflow—like tracking defect rates per batch on a custom injection molding line. We don't just visualize; we build end-to-end, integrating directly with your ERP and shop floor systems for true real-time data, not delayed exports. Here's the thing: templates force you into their boxes, but our dashboards are poured to fit, like a custom mold. A recent client in metal fabrication ditched Tableau after it couldn't handle their multi-plant inventory syncs—we delivered a unified view that cut reporting time from 4 hours to 10 minutes daily. You're not locked into subscriptions either; you own it, tweaking as processes change, ensuring ROI from day one without the bloat.
How long does it take to see ROI from a custom dashboard?
You're probably thinking it'll take months to justify the build, but in manufacturing, the wins come fast. Most clients see payback in 3-6 months through direct cuts in waste and downtime. Take a mid-sized electronics assembler we worked with: their old manual logs missed 10% of quality issues, costing $50K quarterly in rework. Our dashboard flagged trends in real-time, dropping that to 2% within the first quarter—pure ROI. We focus on quick-value features first, like live OEE monitoring, so you feel the impact during onboarding. Long-term, it's even better: predictive elements help optimize shifts, potentially boosting throughput by 15-20%. It's practical, not pie-in-the-sky—built on your numbers for measurable gains.
Can these dashboards work for multi-site manufacturing operations?
Absolutely, and that's where we shine for spread-out ops like yours with plants in different states. We design with hierarchy in mind: a master dashboard rolls up KPIs from all sites—think overall yield across fabrication and assembly—while drilling down to specifics, like a single line's cycle times in Ohio. Security's baked in, with role-based access so regional managers only see their data. For a client with three forging facilities, this unified view exposed a supplier delay pattern affecting all, letting them renegotiate terms and save 12% on materials. No more emailing spreadsheets between sites; it's all synced, mobile-ready for execs on the road. We handle the complexity of varying equipment setups too, ensuring consistency without forcing one-size-fits-all.
What kind of support do you provide after deployment?
Deployment's just the start—we treat it like installing a new conveyor: it needs tuning to run smooth. Post-launch, you get 30 days of hands-on support, including weekly check-ins to refine based on your team's feedback, like adjusting alert thresholds for noisy environments. Then, it's our maintenance package: proactive monitoring to catch glitches before they hit production, plus unlimited tweaks for process changes, such as new quality specs. One packaging manufacturer called us mid-shift when a data feed hiccuped—we fixed it remotely in 20 minutes, no downtime. We're not vanishing; we're your in-house extension, ensuring the dashboard evolves with your ops, from seasonal surges to equipment swaps. It's all about keeping that ROI flowing steadily.
How secure are these custom dashboards for sensitive manufacturing data?
Security's non-negotiable in manufacturing, where IP like proprietary alloy formulas or production blueprints can't leak. We build with enterprise-grade protocols: end-to-end encryption, compliance with standards like ISO 27001, and options for air-gapped on-premise hosting if you're handling defense contracts. Access controls are granular—operators see only shift metrics, not full recipes. For a client in aerospace components, we integrated multi-factor auth and audit logs that tracked every view, passing their strict audits without a hitch. Regular vulnerability scans keep it tight, and we avoid third-party clouds unless you specify. Think of it as fortifying your factory walls: robust, tested, and tailored to shield your competitive edge while delivering fast insights.
