Do we need to replace our ERP?

No. If you use NetSuite, it stays your system of record and Aixly reads your items, bills of materials and work orders from it. If you do not use an ERP, Aixly works on its own.

How long does setup take?

It depends on how many machines and items you have and whether they are already in spreadsheets. Most of the work is importing those records, and we help with it during the pilot.

Does the schedule change by itself?

Aixly proposes placements and shows which orders would run late, but the schedule only changes when someone approves it.

What do operators need at the machine?

A tablet and a badge or PIN. A standard Bluetooth barcode scanner reads badges and lot labels without any setup, and the kiosk can be switched between English and Spanish.

Where does AI come in?

Ask questions about your workspace’s data. Save chats in project folders. Aixly changes nothing by itself.

Can the demo use our own data?

Yes. If you can share a work-order export under an NDA, we will run the demo on your own jobs.

Pricing depends on the number of stations and whether you connect an ERP. We will go through it on the first call.

Every step it takes to make an item

Machines, setup times and run rates guide scheduling and each operator’s next step.

What a routing holds

Sequence: Operations numbered 10, 20, 30 and onward, run in that order.
Machine: The machine each operation runs on.
Timing: Setup minutes and a run rate in pieces per hour.
Instructions: Notes the operator reads at the kiosk.

Checks you can require at a step

Require signatures, prior-step completion, quality checks or lot numbers. Manager overrides keep a reason on the record.

Where a job is

Each work order keeps its routing. The process map shows completed operations and the current step.

Bills of materials

Bills of materials track components, scrap allowances and multiple outputs. Revisions create new versions.

Lot and batch traceability

Look up a lot code, serial number or work-order number to follow recorded material use and production. Travelers keep the work orders in a batch together with their sign-offs.

Travelers, for shops that use them

Print several work orders on one traveler with sign-off lines. Required steps must be complete before closure, unless a manager overrides them.
