NC 3D review · video-based cycle-time analysis
FLOWMATIC · MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS AI FOR EXISTING FACTORIES
From one drawingto a running factory.
Connect the process plan, equipment review, NC, quality criteria, and logistics plan required to launch a new product into one workflow. Start with one product or line—without replacing the whole factory—and expand only where the value is proven.

CURRENT PRODUCT PROOF
Current Implementation Scope & Validation Assets
The current validation scope consists of NC/G-code path review and video-based cycle-time analysis. Production impact and ROI are evaluated against the customer's existing process during the Pilot.

Manufacturing Operating Scope: Drawing to Mass Production
Connect the process plans, equipment reviews, NC work, and quality plans that engineering teams manage separately—and feed actual CT, defects, and cost back into the next change.

WHY FLOWMATIC
Progressive Automation vs. Full-stack Deployment
Traditional programs often invest in machines, sensors, and connectivity first. Flowmatic starts with manufacturing decisions and execution software, then adds automation only where ROI is proven.

L2ConnectivityCONNECT AFTER ROI
L1Machine & controlCONNECT AFTER ROI
Initial deployment uses existing manufacturing data; machine connectivity is added only after value validation.
The Flowmatic Factory Stack L1–L6 is a product communication model; it is not a claim of equivalence to ISA-95 level definitions.
PROGRESSIVE AUTOMATION
Progressive Automation Using Existing Manufacturing Assets
Full machine connectivity is not required for initial deployment. Drawings, NC, video, and inspection records support the initial workflow; automation is added after value validation.

DESIGN → BUILD → RUN → IMPROVE
Closed-loop Improvement Based on Production Actuals
Do not stop at the initial plan. Feed actual CT, defects, measurements, and downtime back into the next NC, offset, work condition, and process change.

EXPAND AFTER PROOF
Customer Expansion Model: Workflow → Line → Factory
Customers do not need to buy the entire Factory OS first. Prove small ROI repeatedly, then expand into adjacent work inside the same factory.
One workflow
Start with a repetitive task such as NC review or CT analysis.
One line
Expand into production, quality, and equipment-state decisions.
One factory
Long term, connect production, quality, and logistics as a Factory OS.
PILOT REVIEW
Pilot Scope Review
A drawing, NC program, or work video is sufficient to define an initial Pilot scope around one repetitive manufacturing workflow.
