AI for manufacturing companies: less paperwork around production.

In short

Aurelith designs and builds AI automations for manufacturing and production companies in Greece. The AI reads quotes, purchase orders, specifications and shift reports, compares the details and drafts the next step, and a person approves every decision that matters. Each automation connects to the email, documents and ERP your teams already use.

Business first. Intelligence at every level.

Updated Level 02 — Execution

01 / Around production

Where does time go in a manufacturing company?

In a manufacturing company, production runs on a plan, shifts and checks. The work around it still often depends on email, spreadsheets and the memory of a few people.

This page is about the time lost in the office around the machine: documents that are read, compared and retyped by hand.

  1. 01

    Quotes in every format

    Every supplier sends its quote differently, with its own terms and lead times, and the comparison happens line by line in a spreadsheet.

  2. 02

    Confirmations nobody checks

    A difference in item code, quantity or date between the confirmation and the purchase order often shows up only at goods receipt.

  3. 03

    Reports written at the end of the shift

    Non-conformities, shift notes and maintenance events are logged in a hurry, in different places, and the summary for management is rebuilt from scratch every time.

  4. 04

    Knowledge locked in folders

    The manuals and specifications exist, but the answer often depends on the one person who knows where to look.

02 / Typical workflows

Which work can AI take on in manufacturing?

AI automation for manufacturing companies takes on the groundwork in seven typical workflows around production. In each one, a person makes the decision.

Illustrative examples — not client work
  1. 01

    Requests for quotation and quote comparison

    AI does

    Reads supplier quotes in whatever format they arrive and lines them up in one table: price, lead time, payment terms and deviations from the specification.

    Person approves

    The choice of supplier, and every reply sent to them.

  2. 02

    Purchase orders and order confirmations

    AI does

    Checks the supplier’s confirmation against the purchase order in the ERP and flags every difference in item codes, quantities, prices or dates.

    Person approves

    Accepting the confirmation or asking for a correction, and every change to the order.

  3. 03

    Quality and non-conformity reports

    AI does

    Drafts the report from the quality inspector’s notes, in the format you already use, and shows which fields are missing.

    Person approves

    The classification, the corrective action and closing the report.

  4. 04

    Maintenance logs

    AI does

    Summarises entries by machine, flags faults that keep coming back and prepares the weekly summary.

    Person approves

    Maintenance priorities, and every decision on spare parts or downtime.

  5. 05

    Search across technical documentation

    AI does

    Answers staff questions from your manuals, specifications and work instructions, and points to the document behind each answer.

    Person approves

    Which documents count as the official source, and every intervention on the machine or the product.

  6. 06

    Production and shift reports

    AI does

    Gathers shift notes and production figures and drafts the summary: what was produced, what was delayed, what is still open.

    Person approves

    The conclusions, and anything shared with management or customers.

  7. 07

    Tenders and customer specifications

    AI does

    Reads the tender, extracts requirements, deadlines and required documents, and checks them against the products and documents you already have.

    Person approves

    The decision to bid, the price and every commitment to the customer.

03 / Human approval

How does approval work, step by step?

Approval-first automation is how Aurelith builds every automation: the AI prepares and moves the work, and a person approves every decision that matters before anything irreversible happens.

Order confirmation checkIllustrative workflow
  1. 01AI

    Read the confirmation

    Finds item codes, quantities, prices and dates in the supplier’s email or attachment.

  2. 02AI

    Compare with the order

    Checks every line against the purchase order in the ERP.

  3. 03AI

    Draft the reply

    Prepares a summary of the differences and a draft reply to the supplier.

  4. 04Person

    Human approval

    The buyer accepts, corrects or rejects. Only then does the work move on.

After approval, the automation updates the record or sends the approved reply. Anything unclear goes to the right person instead of being guessed.

04 / Connections

Which systems does it connect to?

Aurelith connects every AI automation for manufacturing companies to the systems your people already work in, so nobody has to change where they work.

  • Email

    Reads quotes, confirmations and attachments. Sends only what has been approved.

  • Documents and specifications

    Manuals, specifications, work instructions and reports, wherever you already keep them.

  • ERP

    Reads orders, item codes and stock. Records only what a person has approved.

  • Spreadsheets and logs

    Shift, maintenance and quality records kept in spreadsheets or forms.

Any other system is reviewed in the analysis. If a process needs its own screen, Aurelith builds it.

05 / How to start

How does a manufacturer start with AI automation?

A manufacturing company starts with Aurelith from one workflow that recurs often and has a clear owner.

  2. Analysis of your business

    We study the processes, the tools and how your people work, from purchasing to the shift.

AI in manufacturing, in plain terms.

What can AI do for a manufacturing company beyond the production line?

Beyond the production line, AI takes on the groundwork in the office around it: quotes, purchase orders, quality and shift reports, maintenance logs and technical documentation. This is the work Aurelith focuses on for manufacturing and production companies, with a person approving every decision that matters.

Do we need to change our ERP to use AI automation?

No. An AI automation built by Aurelith works alongside the ERP, email and files you already use: it reads from them, prepares the work and records only what a person has approved. Which systems are connected is decided in the analysis and set out in the written proposal.

Can AI answer staff questions from our technical manuals and specifications?

Yes, as a search assistant that answers from the documents you have named as the official source. Aurelith designs these assistants so that every answer points to the document it comes from, and the technician or engineer can check the source before acting.

Who approves what when an automation touches orders or quality?

Your company sets the approval points. The AI prepares the comparison, the report or the draft, and the person responsible for purchasing, quality or production approves every decision that matters, such as an order, a message to a supplier or closing a non-conformity, before anything irreversible happens.

Which workflow should a manufacturing company automate first?

One that recurs often, involves reading or comparing documents and has a clear owner who approves the result. Quote comparison and order confirmation checks often fit that description, but Aurelith makes the choice with you in the analysis, based on where your team actually loses time.
