The Challenge

Precision manufacturers face visibility gaps that generic tools can't close

📊 Reports Tell You Yesterday

ERP reports show what already happened. By the time you see a late job or a failed inspection, it's already cost you money and credibility.

⏰ Surprises Kill Margins

Late shipments discovered at the last minute. OSP delays that blindside production. Capacity bottlenecks nobody forecasted. Quality escapes that trigger customer corrective actions.

🧠 Quality Lives in Binders

Inspection records scattered across paper forms and spreadsheets. SPC data collected but never analyzed. Cpk numbers calculated once for PPAP and never revisited. No real-time compliance visibility.

Sound Familiar?

We live in Excel spreadsheets
I walk the floor to know machine status
Shipping surprises us weekly
OSP vendors are a black box
SPC is a compliance checkbox, not a tool
We can't forecast capacity for new quotes

How JobAI Works

An intelligence layer on your existing system—not a replacement

📥

Reads Your Data

Connects read-only to your ERP/MRP database plus inspection systems like Keyence. All data stays on your premises. Zero production risk.

Enhances It

Cross-references production, quality, shipping, and vendor data into unified views. Calculates SPC metrics, capacity forecasts, and schedule risk scores automatically.

📊

Presents It Live

35+ interactive dashboards with hover tooltips, click-to-expand detail, and right-click tools. Your team gets answers in seconds, not hours of report building.

🤖

AI Analyzes It

AI interprets every job, every SPC chart, and every capacity forecast in plain English. Identifies risks, recommends actions, and learns your shop's patterns over time.

9 modules, 35+ features, architecture overview, and sampling plan reference — everything you need to evaluate JobAI for your shop.

Start Where It Matters Most

You don't buy all nine modules at once. We work with you to identify your highest-ROI starting point, deploy it in days, and expand when you're ready.

Week 1

Connect

  • Read-only access to your ERP/MRP database
  • Validate data structures and naming
  • All data stays on your premises
Week 2

Your First Modules

  • You pick the modules that solve your biggest pain
  • Shipping running late? Start there
  • Quality gaps? Start with SPC & Compliance
Week 3–4

Tune & Train

  • Custom filters, naming, and KPIs for your shop
  • Your team is using it daily by now
  • We adjust views based on what they actually need
Ongoing

Expand When Ready

  • Add modules as new needs emerge
  • Most shops start with 2–3 and grow to the full platform
  • Each module integrates seamlessly with what's already running

Every shop is different. Your deployment should be too.

A shop struggling with on-time delivery starts with Shipping and Pipeline. A shop facing an AS9100 audit starts with SPC and Compliance. A shop quoting new programs starts with Capacity Planning. We tailor the rollout to your priorities—not ours.

Common Questions

What shops ask before they get started

"We already have ERP reports"

ERP reports tell you what happened. JobAI tells you what needs attention right now—and what's about to go wrong. It's the difference between a rearview mirror and a windshield.

"We don't want to change our processes"

Good—neither do we. JobAI reads your existing data without changing how you work. No new workflows, no retraining, no data entry. Your ERP keeps running exactly the same way.

"What about ITAR and data security?"

All data stays on your premises—we recommend internal-only deployment for ITAR-sensitive shops. TLS encrypted, no cloud dependency, no data leaves your network. We've built a formal security checklist for your IT team.

"We already do SPC in Excel"

Excel SPC is manual, retroactive, and disconnected from your production data. JobAI SPC auto-imports from Keyence, calculates Cpk/Ppk in real time, integrates with your ERP job data, and the AI explains what each chart means.

"Who has to maintain this?"

Nobody on your side. We handle updates, logic, and tuning. Your team just uses it. When we add a new module or feature, it appears automatically.

About IQ Associates

Built by engineers who've spent careers inside the shops we serve

Engineering Roots

IQ Associates was founded by engineers, not software developers. Our team brings 25+ years of hands-on experience at UL (Underwriters Laboratories) in safety standards and regulatory engineering—evaluating products, auditing manufacturing processes, and establishing compliance frameworks across virtually every manufacturing sector. That engineering discipline shapes everything we build.

A First in Quality

Our founder established the first ISO 9001 quality registrar in the United States—helping define how American manufacturers implement and maintain quality management systems. That deep understanding of what auditors look for, what compliance actually requires, and where shops struggle is baked into every JobAI module.

20+ Years on the Shop Floor

Before building JobAI, we spent two decades consulting directly with small and mid-size manufacturers—aerospace job shops, precision machining houses, medical device suppliers. We implemented quality management systems like iQMS, connected ERP databases to real operational workflows, and watched firsthand as shops drowned in data they couldn't use. We built JobAI to solve the problems we kept seeing.

Why We’re Different

Most manufacturing software companies sell to shops. We’ve worked inside them. We know what a 6AM shipping crisis looks like. We know why your ERP reports don’t match reality. We know that the real intelligence lives in the data your shop already generates—it just needs someone who understands manufacturing to surface it.

Who We Serve

Aerospace & defense job shops (AS9100, ITAR, NADCAP) • Medical device manufacturers (ISO 13485) • Automotive suppliers (IATF 16949, PPAP) • Precision machining operations • Any shop running a Manufacturing ERP/MRP that needs more from its data than what reports can deliver.

Our Expertise

ISO 9001 / AS9100 / ISO 13485 Quality Systems • Statistical Process Control & Capability Analysis • CMMC Cybersecurity Compliance • Manufacturing Data Analytics & ERP Integration • Capacity Planning & Forecasting • Keyence CMM Integration • Sampling Plans (Z1.4, C=0, AS13002)
