How the work runs
We find the one workflow costing Machinists, Tool and Die Makers the most hours, ship a working slice into production in weeks, prove it pays for itself, then harden it and hand it over.
From one-person trades to national organisations, we find the hours :)
Quotes with GST, consent paperwork, LBP records and health and safety logs: the admin every New Zealand trade business carries.
*Illustrative example based on nine hours a week of admin. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
Questions machinists, tool and die makers ask
What tools do you build AI on?
For AI we usually reach for Generate SOPs and work instructions, Answer machine and process questions, Log and summarise shift reports, Speed up quality and compliance docs. We're tool-agnostic at heart - we pick what your machinists, tool and die makers team team can actually run after we hand the build over, not what looks good on a vendor sticker.
What's the realistic outcome for Machinists, Tool and Die Makers?
AI adoption in this role is still early - which is exactly where the edge is cheapest to win We don't promise tenfold lifts because we don't see them outside of marketing decks.
How quickly can we see something running?
Week three for a clickable internal demo against real data. Week six for a slice your team can actually use. We hold ourselves to those numbers because they're what stops a project drifting into "endless discovery".
Can AI help with payday filing?
It can prepare it. Employers file employment information every payday, within 2 working days when filing electronically, and automation can have it ready for a person to check.
Does scheduling handle public holidays?
It should. New Zealand has 11 national public holidays, including Matariki, plus a regional anniversary day that depends on where your business is.
