Jobs from quote to ship. Plasma nests with sheet-yield memory. Tube-bend records that never get lost. A consumable meter your table drives itself. And a grounded AI shop hand that cites its sources and flat refuses to invent a cut-chart number.
One operations layer for the whole floor — cut, bend, weld, finish — sized for owner-operators and small crews, not ERP departments.
Quote → cut → bend → weld → finish → QC → ship. Every job carries its process chain, material, and due date; the daily digest tells you what's due and what's blocking.
Nests tracked with sheet size, parts count, pierce count, and sheet-yield — so material economics stop living in your head and remnants stop walking off.
The table reports pierce counts and arc-on time; the meter raises the work-order before a bad edge tells you first. Calendar PM is guessing — this is metered.
Springback, ovality, and wall-thinning per tube size and die — the bender's notebook that never gets lost, and the reason your second part matches your first.
Point a phone at a cut edge — dross, bevel, HAZ read by vision AI running on local hardware. Decision support; you disposition. Photos never leave the building.
Defect → probable cause → which lever to move, direction only. It routes you to your machine's cut chart and a test cut — it never overrides the chart.
OSHA general-industry answers cited to the standard — hot work & fire watch, cylinders, guarding, fume — in plain shop language, with a stop-work-first posture.
Describe your machines and jobs out loud; records structure themselves; you verify. Onboarding is an afternoon, not a data-entry project.
An assistant grounded on YOUR shop's knowledge — plasma, bending, welding, materials — that proposes actions your people confirm, and abstains instead of bluffing.
Every fabricator has watched a chatbot confidently invent an amperage. Ours is engineered not to.
FabOps runs on local GPU inference from day one — flat pricing, unlimited logins, no per-seat AI meter. When you're ready, the whole brain moves into your building.
Your shop onboarded by talking. AI answers from a managed GPU; your data already exportable any day.
A small edge box feeds the consumable meter from your table's own job files and captures cut-edge photos automatically — no controller modifications.
A GPU box on your bench runs the AI and the vision QC entirely in-building. Your quoting history, your cut-edge photo trail, your process memory — physically yours.
