A manufacturer carries quotes that sit over the weekend, tight tolerances, scrap, and the daily question of which jobs will make their ship dates. Below is what our 7 services look like on that floor, from RFQ turnaround to first-article inspection to at-risk-job reporting. We run AI inside our own companies before we ever put it in yours.
Book a consult See all servicesGorges built software for Precision Filters, CELLTREAT Scientific, IMR Test Labs, and Anaren, so quoting, quality, and the systems behind a shop floor are work we have already done for manufacturers like you. That was software work, and it taught us where quotes and jobs get stuck. Today we run AI inside our own businesses every day, and we bring that same practical footing to yours.
A walkthrough of your quoting, scheduling, and scrap logs ends with a ranked plan. For one machine shop, faster RFQ turnaround pointed to 12 quotes a month that currently go cold.
Your first-article inspection procedure gets an AI step that reads the measurement report against the drawing tolerances and flags deviations. A quality inspector still signs off.
RFQ acknowledgments, quote follow-up, and reorder reminders run as one funnel in your own voice. No request-for-quote sits unanswered over a weekend.
A custom tool reads incoming drawings and pulls matching past jobs, material, and cycle times, so an estimator prices a new part in minutes instead of hours. It wires into the ERP already in place.
Machine uptime, on-time delivery, scrap rate, and open work orders sit in one place. An overnight report flags which jobs are at risk of missing ship dates.
Engineering and sales get trained on AI drafting, with a written policy that keeps customer drawings and proprietary process specs out of any public AI tool. The team knows exactly where the line is.
An industrial-products maker adds MFA on its ERP and email and reviews vendor and shop-floor access. We address the risk of a spoofed purchase order arriving in a convincing customer's writing style.
Picture a precision machine shop where RFQs pile up faster than an estimator can price them. We start with an AI Readiness Diagnostic that shows faster RFQ turnaround could recover 12 quotes a month that currently go cold, add a custom tool that reads incoming drawings and pulls matching past jobs, material, and cycle times so pricing takes minutes, turn on Revenue Automation so no RFQ sits unanswered over a weekend, and put machine uptime, on-time delivery, and scrap rate on one dashboard that flags jobs at risk. Quotes go out same day, and the floor sees trouble before a ship date slips.
