Engineering plants
Machine shop to dispatch, measured.Counts and cycle time on the job card.
eManage AI watches the machine shop, the assembly bench, and the receiving bay in an engineering plant. Cycle time, idle cells, missed steps, and inward counts write to the same eManage job card and GRN the plant already runs.
eManage AI adds machine monitoring, camera checks, and document agents to eManage ERP for engineering plants. It reads CNC, VMC, and HMC cells, ticks assembly steps from existing CCTV, counts castings at the dock, and posts the result to job cards and GRNs.
Hidden idle
Cells that look busy
A CNC with no operator still reads as running until someone types the shift report.
Retyping
Invoices keyed twice
Bar, coil, and casting invoices are typed at the gate and again in accounts.
Late rejection
Rejection found at dispatch
A missed assembly step is caught at final inspection or by the customer, after the rework cost is already spent.
The flow
From raw material grn to dispatch weighment.One ledger watching every stage.
Today
Castings and forgings are counted by hand at the truck.
AI on this stage
Warehouse Vision AI →With eManage AI
Pieces counted off the truck and matched to the GRN.
AI for engineering
The modules that fit.
Plant CCTV
CCTV AI
PPE checks and short-stop tracking from your existing cameras, posted to the job card.
Logistics
Warehouse Vision AI
Indoor drones count 900+ bins an hour; cameras count at the dock and read torn barcodes.
Agent
Document AI
Reads invoices, POs, GRNs and KYC papers, checks them, then posts to ERP or holds mismatches.
Telemetry
IIoT Edge AI
Reads machine data on a small box inside the plant, and keeps it for up to 72 hours if the internet drops.
Agent
SOP AI
Plant agents that answer from your SOPs, recipes and work instructions, each limited to its own files.
Agent
Eva AI
Ask questions in plain English and get answers from live ERP tables, within your login rights.
Demo clips
Watch it count.
Activity & micro-stops
Operator at one cell, the next unattended and timed. The machine controller still calls it ‘running’.
SOP step check
Bearing, gasket, cover, four bolts. Each step ticked from the bench camera, in order.
Unloading count
Castings counted one by one as they come off the truck and into stock.
Weighbridge · driver off the deck
Weighment is allowed only after the driver leaves the platform. A driver standing on it blocks the weighment.
Questions engineering plantsactually ask.
No. CNC AI reads your machine controllers directly, and CCTV AI uses your existing IP cameras. Older machines can be connected through a small box on the plant network.
Cycle time, spindle hours, and part count post to the eManage job card. Camera events update the job card and shift log, and inward counts post against the GRN.
The box in the plant keeps working. It keeps machine history for up to 72 hours and sends alarms first when the internet returns.
Yes. A camera pilot of 15 to 25 cameras can go live within days of getting camera access, and machine cells can be added one at a time.
What could your plantrun better?
A feasibility audit maps the cameras, machines and eManage modules you already run, then picks one place to go live.
