Sample data

Which jobs will miss their due time?

WO-24098 is projected late: CNC-04 is 22% over estimate, finishing at 11:48 against an 11:30 due. WO-24109 is tight: projected 12:21 against a 12:30 due.

Aixly keeps that knowledge in the system, so everyone can see the plan and the person responsible for it can change it when the floor changes.

How a work order moves through Aixly

  1. The work order comes in

    Enter it with the item and quantity, or import it from a spreadsheet. The bill of materials and routing come from the item.

    The Aixly work order list with status, quantity, location, priority and due date
  2. You place it on the schedule

    Pick the job from the waiting list and the machine it runs on. Each machine is a lane on the board.

    The Aixly scheduling board with machines as lanes and jobs placed across the day
  3. Aixly works out the timing

    Setup time and run rate for every routing step give the earliest slot that fits, and show which orders would finish late before anything moves.

  4. The operator sees the job at the machine

    At the kiosk the operator signs in with a badge or PIN and runs the next job lined up for that machine.

  5. The work is recorded as it happens

    Good and defective parts, the reason for each defect, who ran it and for how long.

    Logging production at the kiosk: good and defective counts and a defect reason
  6. You see what the job cost

    Recorded hours times each operator’s rate, plus material and overhead: the cost of the job and the cost per unit.

What shop owners ask

Do we need to replace our ERP?

No. Aixly works with your ERP or on its own. You can import records from spreadsheets. See Integrations for available connections and the roadmap.

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.

What does it cost?

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