Dashboard

Centralized operational command across the entire manufacturing floor.

The Dashboard is the operational command center that brings every stage of automotive manufacturing into a single view. It unifies live production attainment, machine status, inventory availability, quality metrics, and plant-wide alerts so engineering, operations, and plant leadership make fast, informed decisions with complete operational context.

Vqarnethyx AI — Executive Manufacturing Dashboard
Production Execution
42,380

Monthly Production Output

Maintains balanced line pace across stamping, CNC machining, welding, and assembly, keeping production orders synchronized to customer demand schedules.

Quality Conformance
96.3%

First-Pass Manufacturing Yield

Prevents defect progression and scrap accumulation by enforcing inspection tolerances, material verification, and immediate containment protocols.

Equipment Reliability
-15%

Unplanned Machine Downtime

Continuous condition monitoring and vibration telemetry detect tool wear and bearing degradation early, scheduling maintenance before line stoppages occur.

Industrial Connectivity Note: Vqarnethyx AI does not connect directly to high-voltage machine power or safety interlocks. All telemetry, PLC cycle logs, and sensor feeds enter the platform via standard industrial protocols (OPC UA, MQTT) and existing MES/SCADA gateways.

Modules

Purpose-built lifecycle modules for end-to-end execution.

Dedicated modules connecting each critical stage of automotive manufacturing: RFQs, Engineering, Procurement, Production, Testing, Quality, and Closeout. A continuous chain of authorized decisions preserving complete operational traceability.

RFQs dashboard
RFQs

Commercial RFQ & Cost Estimation

The RFQs module streamlines customer inquiry intake, feasibility scoping, and quotation delivery. It ingests 2D drawings and 3D CAD models to calculate itemized material, tooling, and machining costs, generating margin-protected customer quotations with verified submission tracking.

Engineering dashboard
Engineering

Engineering Drawing & BOM Management

The Engineering module manages technical drawings, revision control, and multi-level bills of materials. An AI assistant extracts dimensional tolerances and material grades, while process routing links casting, CNC milling, and quality inspections to ensure production readiness.

Procurement dashboard
Procurement

Sourcing & Material Requirements Planning

The Procurement module automates supply chain coordination and material requirements planning. It tracks 3-month demand forecasts, monitors stock across 120 materials, alerts on low-inventory items, and tracks approved purchase orders with real-time supplier delivery status.

Production dashboard
Production

Shop-Floor Production & Machine Health

The Production module orchestrates shop-floor work orders, line schedules, and machine monitoring. It tracks actual versus planned output across active assembly lines, monitors operating temperatures and vibration sparklines, and verifies material availability before shift runs begin.

Testing dashboard
Testing

Dimensional Verification & Test Execution

The Testing module conducts dimensional and hardness verification for manufactured parts. It executes standardized CMM test procedures, compares measured diameters and tolerances against design specifications, and logs inspection photos with automated pass/fail verification tables.

Quality dashboard
Quality

Quality Assurance & IATF Traceability

The Quality module manages defect tracking, nonconformance containment, and full serial traceability. It visualizes defect categories across manufacturing lines, oversees open NCR severity statuses, tracks PPAP customer approvals, and connects raw material to final shipped parts.

Closeout dashboard
Closeout

Shipment Dispatch & Commercial Closeout

The Closeout module coordinates order fulfillment, logistics dispatch, and invoice reconciliation. It tracks shipments across in-transit and delivered statuses, verifies quantities against customer purchase orders, generates billing invoices with payment tracking, and manages pending customer actions.

How it works

From customer RFQ to commercial closeout — three phases.

Vqarnethyx AI preserves the continuous chain of authorized manufacturing decisions: Customer RFQs → Engineering Release → Procurement Planning → Production Execution → Testing & Verification → Quality Approval → Commercial Closeout.

Compliance

The standards an automotive manufacturer is held to.

Manufacturing records and lot traceability are audited on the plant floor, not at head office. Vqarnethyx AI keeps the evidence on the production order as the work happens.

Note: Vqarnethyx AI provides tools to support manufacturing documentation and quality processes. Using the platform does not automatically establish compliance or grant certification. Each manufacturer remains responsible for its applicable requirements.

ISO 9001Quality Management
Manufacturing records, inspection reports, and approved engineering documents should remain organized and accessible. Vqarnethyx AI helps teams maintain document versions, record approvals, and retrieve quality evidence during reviews.
IATF 16949Automotive Quality & Traceability
Automotive manufacturers need to identify production lots and retain relevant inspection and testing records. Vqarnethyx AI helps connect material records, production orders, and quality results for easier traceability and review.

FAQ

Questions from the plant floor.

What Vqarnethyx AI does across RFQs, engineering release, procurement, production, quality, and closeout — and how it integrates with your existing manufacturing stack.

Still something specific to your floor? Book a demo and ask it on the call.

What does Vqarnethyx AI actually do?
It is the end-to-end AI operating system for automotive manufacturing operations. Vqarnethyx AI connects customer RFQ intake, engineering drawing validation, BOM revisions, MRP material procurement, shop-floor execution, predictive maintenance, dimensional testing, IATF 16949 quality disposition, and commercial shipment closeout into one synchronized data layer.
Does it replace our existing ERP, PLM, or MES systems?
It does not have to. Most automotive plants keep their existing SAP, Teamcenter, or FactoryTalk systems and deploy the platform as an intelligent orchestration layer on top. This bridges departmental silos without painful migrations. If desired, the modules can also manage full shop-floor execution directly.
How does Predictive Maintenance assess equipment failure risks?
The platform combines machine runtime counters, PLC alarm logs, maintenance history, and high-frequency condition monitoring (vibration, bearing temperature, cycle times) on stamping presses, CNC centers, and paint equipment to flag degradation patterns before catastrophic failure occurs.
How does automated RFQ quotation work?
The RFQ workbench ingests customer engineering drawings, CAD files, material specifications, and annual volume forecasts. It flags missing technical tolerances, requests engineering feasibility reviews, and calculates unit costs (material, direct labor, machine cycle time, tooling, scrap allowance) for commercial sign-off.
Can AI automatically authorize engineering or safety changes?
Never. AI assists by extracting BOM data, comparing drawing revisions, and identifying potential manufacturability conflicts. However, all controlled engineering changes (ECN / ECR) and safety-critical automotive specifications strictly require human sign-off from authorized engineering personnel.
How does the platform support IATF 16949 and PPAP compliance?
The Quality module manages digital control plans, process capability studies (Cp/Cpk), measurement system analysis (MSA), and PPAP submission evidence including Part Submission Warrants (PSW). Out-of-spec test findings open structured Nonconformance Reports (NCR) and 8D corrective action workflows.
How does Procurement coordinate material readiness?
Sourcing calculates gross and net material demand directly from released manufacturing BOMs. It tracks safety stocks, open purchase orders, and supplier delivery commitments to surface shortage risks well before assembly line starvation.
What do you need from our plant for a live walkthrough?
Very little. A description of your plant routing — stamping, machining, welding, paint, or assembly — and a sample customer RFQ or drawing set. Nothing needs to be connected or migrated to explore the live platform.
