Production. Quality. Capacity. Shipping. All from your existing ERP/MRP.
We don't change how your ERP runs your shop. We change what it tells you.
JobAI is a 9-module analytics platform that reads your Manufacturing ERP/MRP data and presents it as real-time dashboards, SPC quality management, capacity forecasting, and AI-powered analysis—without a single keystroke from your team.

Precision manufacturers face visibility gaps that generic tools can't close
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.
Late shipments discovered at the last minute. OSP delays that blindside production. Capacity bottlenecks nobody forecasted. Quality escapes that trigger customer corrective actions.
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.
An intelligence layer on your existing system—not a replacement
Connects read-only to your ERP/MRP database plus inspection systems like Keyence. All data stays on your premises. Zero production risk.
Cross-references production, quality, shipping, and vendor data into unified views. Calculates SPC metrics, capacity forecasts, and schedule risk scores automatically.
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 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.

Every screen is designed for action. Hover for context, click for detail, right-click for tools. Your team uses these features hundreds of times a day.
Hover any machine card to see today’s operator, parts produced, scrap count, and cumulative job progress — without leaving the dashboard. Production sparklines show daily rate trends at a glance.
Click any job row to expand its full operation routing with color-coded progress, operator performance rates, OSP vendor status, and AI-generated analysis — all inline without navigating away.
Right-click any part to instantly open the customer drawing in a draggable, resizable overlay. Supports rotation, zoom, and switches between bubbled inspection drawings and customer originals.
Every module includes AI interpretation that explains what the data means in plain English—from job health assessments to SPC capability analysis to capacity risk scoring.
9 modules, 35+ features, architecture overview, and sampling plan reference — everything you need to evaluate JobAI for your shop.
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.
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.
Results our customers measure in the first quarter
"We went from firefighting every day to actually planning ahead. The SPC module alone justified the investment—our quality manager finally has real-time compliance visibility instead of spreadsheets."— Operations Manager, Aerospace Job Shop
What shops ask before they get started
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
We work with precision manufacturers who need production, quality, and capacity visibility
Built by engineers who've spent careers inside the shops we serve
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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)
