AI for the plant floor, the service van and the review room

Futurelab deploys AI for manufacturers that answers from approved SOPs, manuals and quality records with a citation, lets plant heads question production and dispatch data, and gives shop-floor and service teams spoken answers in English, Hindi and regional languages. Pilots run on one plant or line before scaling.

Where manufacturing teams lose time

The answer usually exists. It sits in a 200-page manual, last quarter's quality deviation report, an SOP revision on a shared drive or a senior engineer's head. Supervisors, technicians and planners spend hours finding it, and new joiners take months to learn where to look. AI is useful here when it answers from your approved documents, shows where the answer came from and works for people who are not at a desk.

What we deploy for manufacturers

Access follows your existing permissions, and deployment inside your own environment is possible where required.

ToolForWhat it does
SearchEasyPlant, quality, EHS and service teamsAnswers questions from SOPs, equipment manuals, quality procedures and safety rules, with a citation to the exact document and page.
DataEasyPlant heads, planning and salesAsk questions of production, dispatch, inventory or sales data. Get variances, exceptions and the lines or SKUs behind them.

Review assistantsManagers and leadershipDrafts the commentary for monthly operations and sales reviews from the numbers, for a manager to check and sign.

Proof behind the approach

We haven't published a manufacturing deployment yet, so here is where each capability has already run.

  • Knowledge with citations: SearchEasy is being tested on approved company knowledge and SOPs at International Money Matters.
  • Multilingual voice: Our voice assistant for Piramal Foundation's SachivG serves village and field teams across Bihar, Jharkhand and Haryana, with a route to a human when needed. Read the case study
  • Commercial data: DataEasy is in development for conversational analysis of a large CPG company's retail data.
  • Industrial teams trained: AI programmes for Syngenta and other large enterprises, with exercises built on each team's own workflows.

Use cases to start with

  • SOP and manual assistant: For line supervisors and maintenance technicians.
  • Quality deviation search: "Has this defect happened before, and what was the fix?"
  • New-joiner onboarding: A copilot that answers the questions new staff ask in their first 90 days.
  • Service technician helper: Troubleshooting steps by voice, in the field, from the latest manuals.
  • Monthly operations review: Variance commentary drafted from the data, checked by the plant head.

How an engagement runs

  1. Discover: Pick one workflow and the documents or data behind it.
  2. Pilot: Configure on one plant, line or product family, in a fixed window agreed upfront.
  3. Test: Use a set of real questions with known answers to check accuracy before anyone relies on it.
  4. Scale: Add plants, languages and document sets on the same core.

Build the skills alongside the tools

Our AI Essentials and Workflow Accelerator programmes train plant, quality, supply chain and sales teams on the tools you have approved, using their own tasks.

Bring one manual, one SOP set or one report

We'll show you a working prototype that answers from it, with the source cited.

Frequently asked questions

Will the AI make up answers?

SearchEasy answers only from the documents you load and cites its source. If the answer isn't there, it says so.

Can it work on the shop floor?

Yes. Voice agents and mobile-first interfaces are built for people away from a desk.

Can our data stay on our servers?

We can deploy inside your environment when your security policy requires it.

Which languages are supported?

English, Hindi and major Indian languages, confirmed during discovery for your sites.
