AI assistant
How AI helps
It does the chasing. You make the calls.
The Cardo Maximus AI assistant is available now for factories of 30 to 300 people: it compiles, tracks, reminds and answers; anything that changes data asks you first. It reads the same data as your production orders, equipment, quality, inventory and shop floor, which is why it can answer "why is this order late?"
What it does for you every day
-
Compile
Pulls your data together
Walk in, ask one question: yesterday's shop-floor reports, quality and equipment records are already laid out.
-
Track
Tracks progress
The moment an order is at risk of running late, planning gets a heads-up, before the customer calls.
-
Analyze
Helps analyze problems
When defects spike, it lines up production, equipment and quality records and lists likely causes. You decide.
-
Answer
Answers factory questions
Which order will be late, which product has the highest defect rate: just ask. No three reports, no waiting on someone.
-
Draft
Drafts documents Status:Coming later
Daily reports, incident reports, maintenance records and inspection summaries will be drafted for you, filed in the document center and linked to the related records.
-
Run
Runs routine tasks
Following rules you set, it sends notices, creates tasks, schedules maintenance and chases overdue items; for anything important, it asks you first.
-
Brief
A morning briefing Status:Coming later
When you start the day it will have today's watch list ready: which orders may slip and which decisions are waiting on you, all at once.
-
Voice
Talk to it Status:Coming later
When typing is awkward on the floor, you'll be able to tell it what to do; once it understands, it still asks before acting.
-
Reach
When a decision needs you, it finds you Status:Coming later
When something needs a human call, the owner's computer rings and shows a question card; no answer, and it sends a message and tries again later.
Things you can just ask the AI
Every answer shows what it looked at; important actions still wait for a person.
- Which production orders are about to run late?
- Which station is this order stuck at?
- Which product has the highest defect rate?
- Which materials may run short?
- Which machines are due for maintenance?
- Set up a meeting next Tuesday afternoon and book a room
Before AI acts, it clears three gates
-
Spending is capped
Agree up front what the AI may spend
You set a monthly budget in advance. It warns you as the budget runs low and shuts itself off if spending runs far over, so there's no surprise on the bill.
- Monthly budget cap, auto-off when exceeded
- Who used how much, on one report
-
Changing data asks a person
Anything that changes data asks you first
Looking things up and running the numbers, the AI does on its own. Changing a record, deleting data or submitting an approval always stops and waits for your confirmation. Data you haven't opened up, the AI can't see or change either.
- A person confirms before any record is changed or deleted
- What each person can see and change is set individually
-
Everything is logged
Whatever it did, you can look it up
What the AI looked at, how it reached its answer and what it finally did are all logged. Tracing responsibility, passing an audit or checking whether it got something wrong: it's all in the same record.
- Every step is logged and can be checked any time
- Who changed what, and when, with before and after values kept
You decide what it can see
What each person can see and change is set individually; data you haven't opened up, the AI can't see or touch either. Spending is capped in advance, and every step is logged.
- Permissions by person and role
- The AI sees only the data you open up
- Anything that changes data asks you first
FAQ
-
Will the AI change data on its own?
No. It looks things up and runs the numbers on its own; anything that changes a record or deletes data stops and waits for your confirmation.
-
Can the AI see everything?
No. What each person can see and change is set separately, and data you haven't opened up, the AI can't see or change either.
-
How do we control what the AI costs?
You set a monthly budget in advance. It warns you as the budget runs low and shuts itself off if spending runs far over, so there's no surprise on the bill.
-
What if the AI gets it wrong?
What it looked at and how it reached its answer are logged, so you can check. Anything that changes data waits for a person, so a wrong answer never touches a record on its own.
Turn your potential into tomorrow's edge.
The first step is small: tell us how you run things today. We map it for free and tell you where to start. No pitch for the whole system.
After go-live: ask one question in the morning and yesterday is already laid out; anything that changes data asks you first.
