At AIQ Labs, we craft a unified, AI-powered knowledge base that ingests your SOPs, schematics, and troubleshooting guides. It organizes everything intelligently, surfaces answers via natural language search, and updates automatically as processes evolve. You're probably thinking, 'Will this fit our custom machinery workflows?' Absolutely—we build it from the ground up for your exact setup, replacing subscription sprawl with a owned system that scales with your output.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Time Savings and ROI That Hits the Bottom Line
15-20 Hours Saved Weekly on Searches
15-20 Hours Saved Weekly on Searches: No more foremen pausing concrete pours or assembly lines to hunt for rebar torque specs or crane rigging notes. Our system delivers instant answers via mobile access, cutting downtime by 25% and boosting throughput on large-scale builds or high-volume fabrication runs.
Faster Onboarding Cuts Training Costs by 40%
Faster Onboarding Cuts Training Costs by 40%: New site workers or assemblers ramp up in days, not weeks, with guided access to step-by-step videos on blueprint reading and welding checklists. This reduces early-shift errors like improper formwork setup, accelerating paths to full efficiency and improving margins on deadline-driven projects.
ROI in Under 3 Months via Error Reduction
ROI in Under 3 Months via Error Reduction: Field-tested in fabrication shops and construction yards like yours, our automation slashes rework from misread weld protocols or structural specs—saving $5K+ monthly in scrap metal and overtime. It's like pre-inspecting beams for load-bearing flaws, ensuring reliable output without costly failures.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, our night shift was constantly radioing day crew for hydraulic excavator calibration details—it was pure chaos on the site. Now, the knowledge base pulls up the exact torque values in seconds, and we've slashed overtime by 12 hours a week. Implementation was seamless in under two weeks, and it's already transformed our workflow."
Mike Harlan
Site Foreman, Riverton Steel Fabrication
"We handle nonstop OSHA and local building code updates, and sifting through vendor PDFs for scaffold specs was dragging our compliance prep to a halt. This system organizes everything digitally and flags revisions automatically— it saved our bacon during last quarter's surprise audit, avoiding a $10K fine. It's like having a dedicated safety engineer embedded in our prefab operations without adding staff."
Sarah Kline
Compliance Officer, ForgeTech Construction Services
"Onboarding seasonal laborers used to be a total headache with scattered electrical conduit diagrams and piping layouts. After rollout, they're wiring panels productively by day three. We've halved training-related errors, like faulty conduit bends, and saw ROI by week eight—impressive from a team that truly understands heavy manufacturing demands."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this handle our proprietary manufacturing processes without risking leaks?
Security is non-negotiable in manufacturing—we build with enterprise-grade encryption and role-based permissions right from the start. Your proprietary specs, like custom alloy formulas or CNC programs, stay locked down: only authorized users access them via biometric or PIN on devices. We've integrated with systems like yours at ForgeTech, where sensitive welding protocols were siloed per shift. The AI processes data on your secure servers, not the cloud unless you opt in, and we conduct penetration testing pre-launch. Bottom line: it's designed like a vault on your factory floor, protecting IP while making info flow fast. You're probably thinking about audits—our version control logs every view, making compliance a breeze.
Can it integrate with our existing ERP like SAP or Epicor?
Absolutely, integration is our bread and butter. We map your knowledge base directly to ERP data, so querying 'troubleshooting for line 3' pulls live inventory or machine status. For a parts manufacturer we worked with, we linked it to Epicor, auto-populating assembly guides with current stock levels—cut mismatches by 30%. It's not plug-and-play; we custom-code APIs for two-way sync, handling the quirks of manufacturing data like batch numbers or lot traceability. Setup involves a quick audit of your APIs, then we build and test in phases to avoid disrupting production runs. Here's the thing: this creates a unified system, ditching the manual cross-checks that eat hours.
What's the timeline for seeing ROI in a mid-sized plant?
Most clients see payback in 2-3 months, with immediate wins like 15 hours saved weekly on searches. Take Riverton Machining: post-launch, their floor efficiency jumped 20% in the first month by faster access to calibration docs, offsetting our build cost quickly. We start with a discovery week to tailor to your workflows—say, prioritizing safety protocols for OSHA-heavy ops—then build in 4-6 weeks, test in 2. ROI comes from reduced downtime (think $500/hour on a stalled line) and fewer errors. Let's be honest, if your team's wasting time on outdated binders, the savings stack fast. We track metrics from day one to prove it.
Will this work for our multi-shift operation with varying skill levels?
Yes, we design for the realities of 24/7 plants—simplifying for entry-level operators while giving depth to engineers. For Apex Assembly's three shifts, we created tiered interfaces: voice search for gloved hands on the line, detailed schematics for maintenance. It adapts jargon—'hydraulic press error' yields step-by-step guides with videos. Offline mode ensures remote or spotty WiFi sites stay productive. Training is bite-sized, 30-minute sessions per shift, and the AI learns from usage to refine results. No more one-size-fits-all; it's custom like a bespoke tool rack, boosting productivity across skill gaps without overwhelming anyone.
How do we update the knowledge base as processes change?
Updates are seamless and automated, like a self-healing conveyor belt. The AI monitors your inputs—new SOPs from engineering emails or scanned revisions—and ingests them instantly, flagging approvals if needed. In a heavy equipment firm we partnered with, vendor updates to gear specs auto-propagated, notifying shifts via mobile alerts—zero manual uploads. You control it via a simple dashboard, with version history to rollback if something's off. For evolving lines, like seasonal material switches, it tags and prioritizes. This keeps everything current without IT headaches, saving you from the old way of chasing paper trails across departments.
Is this scalable if we expand to new product lines?
Built to grow with you, just like adding a new bay to your facility. Our architecture handles scaling from 50 to 500 users without slowdowns, using modular code that expands categories for new lines—say, from auto parts to aerospace components. A client scaling widget production added modules mid-year; we integrated fresh docs in days, maintaining search speed. It's cloud-agnostic, so you choose on-prem or hybrid for data sovereignty. ROI scales too: as output rises, saved time multiplies. We're not assemblers—we engineer for longevity, ensuring your investment compounds with business growth.
