FOR MANUFACTURING

A plant is not one job. It is a dozen, and every one of them is drowning in busywork.

Production planning, procurement, finance, sales, engineering. Each runs on the same plant, and each loses its week to reconciling exports and chasing emails. Winsen puts an AI Employee on each team's busywork, working off one sourced model of how your plant actually runs, and every consequential call still waits for a human.

See it work
TL;DRManufacturing is an industry, not a team. The shop floor, the PO desk, the controller, the sales rep, and the engineer all share one plant and one set of facts. Winsen gives each of them an AI Employee, and a human still signs anything that moves.

Manufacturing, team by team.

Every team in a manufacturing company gets its own AI Employee on the busywork, all reading the same sourced plant brain.

PRODUCTION PLANNING

When a line goes down, the reschedule is already drafted.

Press #3 threw a fault at 06:14 and dropped 4 hours from today's run, so WO-5520, the X40 batch due Friday, can't finish on the planned line. The AI Production Planner already moved it to Press #1's third shift, confirmed tooling and operator coverage, and parked the revised schedule in the planner's queue with the two jobs it had to bump. Posting it to the floor is the planner's click, never the AI's.

Reschedule: Press #3 down, 4h lost

PROCUREMENT

Every supplier promise checked against what they actually did.

Hydra-Form quoted 12 days on the powder-coat line again, but their last six shipments averaged 19, and the brain has every PO date and receiving scan to prove it. The AI Sourcing Specialist flagged it before the buyer committed the Q3 order, recalculated safety stock, and drafted a note asking Hydra-Form to commit to 16 days or lose the next lot. Sending it, or picking up the phone instead, is the buyer's call.

Lead-time variance: Hydra-Form

FINANCE

The month closes on the first, with the variance already named.

Mo reconciled the month against NetSuite overnight, matched 312 receiving entries to their POs, and closed the books at 5:47 AM. The only thing waiting is the part that needs judgment, a $14,200 swing on raw steel where the invoice beat the PO price, flagged with the receiving scan and both documents attached. Mo never posts the adjusting entry alone.

SALES

The reorder quote is drafted before the rep is back at the desk.

Meridian Distribution's account manager mentioned on a call that they're ramping the X40 line for Q3, so Rita pulled their last 18 months of order history, logged the demo to the CRM, and drafted a follow-up that cites their actual reorder cadence and current lead times. The quote and the discount call stay with the rep. Rita just makes sure the follow-up goes out the same day instead of next Tuesday.

ENGINEERING

The ECO paperwork stops eating a senior engineer's afternoon.

An engineer pushed a revision to the X40 housing drawing, so the AI Engineer drafted the engineering change order, checked which open work orders still use the old revision, and flagged the two in-process batches that need the controlled-document update before they ship. It assembles the change package and runs the checks. Releasing the revision to production is the engineer's signature, not the AI's.

Built for Manufacturing
the AI Production Planner

Reconciles on-hand, open work orders, and the MRP run overnight, then drafts the reschedule the moment a line goes down, with the trade-offs named and the source attached.

Need one we haven't built yet?

That is the one we built for the floor. Need a kind we have not built yet, an AI Quality Specialist that triages NCRs, an AI Maintenance Planner that schedules PMs around the run, an AI Compliance Specialist for your audits? Add the role to your team, tell us what it should own and where it should stop, and we will build it for you. You hire by the job, not off a fixed menu.

Manufacturing, in the product.

You keep
  • The final yes on every PO, supplier commitment, posted schedule change, and released revision
  • The judgment calls: which late job slips, which customer gets the partial, when to expedite, when to hold credit
  • The relationships with suppliers and the floor, where the context that never makes it into the ERP actually lives
Winsen takes
  • The nightly reconcile of on-hand, open work orders, receiving scans, and the MRP run into one current picture
  • Drafting the reorder POs, reschedules, ECOs, supplier follow-ups, and the close, every fact sourced
  • Watching lead-time drift, demand shifts, and variance so a stockout or a surprise never sneaks up on a team

The stack, connected.

A planner who used to spend Monday rebuilding the demand plan in a spreadsheet now reviews six drafted POs before the first coffee, the controller closes April on the first instead of the tenth, and the same plant brain fed both. One model, every team off it.

FAQ

Questions, answered straight.

No dodging, no contact-sales-to-find-out.

We are five different teams on one plant. Does each get its own AI Employee, or is this one tool?+
Each team gets its own AI Employee, hired by role: an AI Production Planner for the floor, an AI Sourcing Specialist for procurement, Mo for finance, Rita for sales, the AI Engineer for ECOs. They all read the same sourced plant brain, so the buyer and the controller are looking at the same lead time, not two stale exports.
Does it actually place the orders and post the schedule, or just nag me?+
It drafts the PO, the reschedule, the ECO, the adjusting entry, with the quantity, supplier, price, and source attached, and then it stops. Sending or posting is a human click. Approval-first is the whole point: the AI proposes, a person signs anything consequential.
Our data lives in NetSuite, a pile of supplier emails, and one cursed spreadsheet. Will it work, and is the brain ours?+
That is the normal starting point. The brain is built from real activity across those sources, so ERP records, receiving scans, and supplier emails all become sourced facts in one model, and every number on screen points back to where it came from. The brain is customer-owned and the substrate is open source, so if you leave, you export it and run it elsewhere.
