Common challenges on the factory floor
Supplier labels and documents use different formats. Names, batches and expiry dates often have to be copied and checked repeatedly.
Material data management
Connect material data from the moment it arrives
Turn material photos and documents into fields people can verify, reducing repeated entry and connecting QR codes with batch information.
How work is done today
People review labels, documents or spreadsheets, then enter each field manually. Original sources and later material usage records may be stored separately.

How it works in practice
- Choose a clear label or document as the source.
- AI helps extract names, batch numbers, dates and other fields.
- People check each field against the original, resolving gaps and uncertain extraction.
- After confirmation, create the material record and link QR codes and subsequent usage records according to the workflow.
