Automation for manufacturing.

Quoting takes days, production status lives on a whiteboard, and quality records get assembled the week before an audit. A Convoy CIS runs all three continuously.

01 / The friction

What we map first.

Before anything gets built, we go and look. These are the patterns we expect to find in a manufacturing operation. The recon confirms which ones are actually costing you, and which are fine as they are.

  • Quotes taking days because costing is rebuilt each time
  • Production status visible only by walking the floor
  • Work orders and revisions tracked on paper
  • Quality records assembled retrospectively for audits
  • Shipping documents typed from the order by hand
02 / The build

What a CIS would run.

Scoped and priced from the recon, deployed in your environment, owned by you. A human stays in command of every judgement call.

01

Quoting

Costed quotes assembled from a maintained model rather than from scratch.

02

Work orders & status

Every job's stage and blocker visible without walking the floor.

03

Quality records

Captured as production happens, audit-ready by default.

04

Shipping documentation

Generated from the order record, not retyped.

03 / The dashboard

This is how your board could look.

A command view built for Manufacturing. Click an agent to see what it owns, switch a unit on, or add a panel. Nothing here is real data.

Illustrative only. Every figure here is invented to show the shape of the board. Convoy has no shipped builds yet and does not present demo numbers as client results.

04 / Wired into

Your tools stay your tools.

A CIS integrates rather than replaces. These are the systems we would expect to wire into here. If yours is not listed, it is almost certainly still workable.

05 / Deploy

Start with a recon.

We study your real operation before writing a single line. Tell us how you move, and we will map where a CIS earns its place.

No cost. No obligation. We will tell you if a CIS does not earn its place.
