AI tools for manufacturers

Less paperwork. Cleaner records. More time on the floor.

Chordis finds the reports, records and follow-ups that pull people off the floor, then builds an AI tool that fits how the shop already runs.

The problem

Where the week goes

  • Quotes sent and never followed up
  • Downtime and scrap written up after the fact, if at all
  • Setup knowledge that leaves when a senior machinist does
  • Shift handovers that live in someone's head

Yours might be something else. That's what the first call is for.

Sample data, not a real shop.

How it works

Start with the problem, not the software

  1. Call.

    Fifteen minutes on where the time goes and how the work gets done today.

  2. One focused build.

    Fix the problem that costs the most first.

  3. Try it out.

    Run it on real work with the team, and fix what's off before relying on it.

Example build

One example: a shift report from a voice note

The shift lead talks through the shift. Chordis writes the report in the shop's format, ready to review before it's sent. It's one example of the kind of tool Chordis builds. Another shop's build could look nothing like this.

Hey, this is Marcus, second shift lead, handing over to Dana on 3rd. It's Tuesday, November 3rd. I'm on cell 4, the two VMCs in the lathe, running job 7741, the aluminum brackets. VMC2 went down for about 40 minutes around 7 o'clock because of coolant pump fault. Maintenance reset it and it's running now, but keep an eye on it. We've scrapped six parts on that job. The bore came out oversized because of a worn insert. I changed the insert and adjusted the offset by two thou. We finished 120 out of 200, so 80 are left. Dana, check the first article before you run the next batch. Thanks.

Review and Verification

As transcribedthe two VMCs in the lathe
Corrected tothe two VMCs and the lathe
Items requiring verification
  • Two VMCs and the lathe. The transcript reads "in the lathe". Check against the audio.
  • Owner of "keep an eye on it". The speaker didn't name anyone at that point. Likely Dana.
  • Machine that made the six scrapped parts. The speaker gave the job but not the machine.
  • Every number: about 40 minutes, 7 o'clock, job 7741, six, two thou, 120, 200, 80. Speech recognition can mishear numbers. Check against the audio.

Standards

Rules for anything Chordis builds

  1. Works from what the team said or wrote.

    If it wasn't said, the report says “Not reported.”

  2. Flags what looks unclear.

    It can still miss things, so a person checks every number.

  3. Nothing is filed or sent until a person approves it.

  4. You'll know where files go and what goes to an AI service before anything is built.
