Born from manufacturing DNA — a full AI package that gets the shop floor moving

People come and go.
Your factory keeps running.

Turn the work you’ve relied on craftspeople, team leaders and veterans for into systems that young, new and international staff can use without hesitation. iFactiS is an AI series for manufacturers, tested and refined in our own factories by a team whose parent company makes automotive parts.

PROBLEM

Does the work stop when “that one person”
is not around?

Amid labor shortages and generational change, is your factory still running on work that depends on specific people?

FindKNOWLEDGE
“Where’s that document again?”

Every breakdown means
digging through old records

Only a few people know where things are filed. The first response to trouble is delayed, and transcribing handwritten logs and writing reports eats up 1–2 hours a day.

→ iFactiS Knowledge

AssignTALENTLINE
“We can’t set today’s lineup until the team leader gets in.”

Only one team leader can
rework the morning lineup

Every sudden absence or schedule change means starting from scratch. The skills chart in Excel is out of date, and the burden keeps falling on the same people.

→ iFactiS TalentLine

ConnectNEXUS
“How far along is this order right now?”

The same information, kept separately
in Excel, on paper and in systems

Actual production status is hard to see, and checking delivery dates and progress takes time. The system is complex, and only a few people can really use it.

→ iFactiS Nexus

ProtectVISION
“What if someone unqualified starts that machine…”

Preventing dangerous misoperation
with nothing but people’s eyes

Fingerprint scanners don’t work well with gloves and masks. Yet there’s no budget to replace the cameras, and no time for installation work.

→ iFactiS Vision

What they all have in common: the factory runs on “knowledge locked inside people.”

FROM PEOPLE TO SYSTEM

From “knowledge locked inside people”
to “systems anyone can use.”

We don’t dismiss the intuition and experience of skilled workers — we preserve it, together with the reasoning behind each judgment, as a company asset.

BEFOREKnowledge locked inside people
Where’s the drawing?Tomorrow’s lineup? What’s E-203?OK to start it? The veteran Absent = stop

Judgment and information are concentrated in specific people. When they’re off or leave, the line stops.

AFTERSystems anyone can use
iFactiS Procedures& criteria Troubles& fixes Skills &lineup rules Access& records Young staffNew hiresForeign staffTeam leaders

Knowledge lives in the system, so everyone works with the same procedures and the same way of thinking. Quality and delivery hold even as people change.

  • Keep the reasoningRecord “what to look at, and what to judge by” in procedures and records.
  • Think the same wayYoung, new and international staff don’t get lost.
  • No management for management’s sakeKeep data entry and checking to a minimum.

LINEUP

Four kinds of “people-dependent” work,
turned into systems by four solutions.

Introduce them one at a time — starting with the task that troubles you most.

01Find

iFactiS KnowledgeInstant internal knowledge search (AI search built for manufacturing)

From “ask, search, stop working”
to answers with sources, instantly

  • Answers with cited sources — and honestly says “no answer” when it doesn’t know
  • Search past similar cases and fixes by error code, or by symptoms like “a strange noise”
  • Automatically drafts a maintenance report from how the issue was resolved
Time spent searching & on paperwork500+ hours/year*Our estimate per person, based on industry research
Runs entirely within your Azure environmentUnauthorized info filtered out at the search stageAudit logs

02Assign

iFactiS TalentLineAI staff assignment

Morning lineup changes — from a
leader’s gut feeling to “one click”

  • AI builds the assignment plan from production plans, skills and attendance
  • Flags short-staffed lines — and why (attendance, skills, certifications)
  • Show the confirmed lineup directly on the factory floor monitor
Assignment planning workload~80% less
Auto-assignment calculation15sec or less

03Connect

iFactiS NexusProduction management system

Connect scattered ledgers,
and see delivery and progress at a glance

  • From quotes, orders and production plans to shipping, costing and inventory — all in one place
  • Log work results on tablets, and shipping and picking on handheld terminals
  • Check current progress on the spot with process and shipping monitors

iFactiS VisionAI camera face recognition & motion detection

Keep your existing security cameras —
and “only authorized people can operate”

  • Face and posture detection checks each worker’s authorization on the spot
  • Recognizes people wearing masks and gloves — enter and exit even with both hands full
  • An intuitive admin screen, with Scuti supporting you from rollout to adoption
Uses existing camerasNo construction work

WHY iFactiS

Three reasons iFactiS “works on the shop floor”

Not “AI first” or “system first” — what matters most is whether it truly works on the shop floor.

01
GembaTHE SHOP FLOOR

We struggle, test and refine
in our own factories first

Our parent company is an automotive parts manufacturer. We build products from the pain points of real mass-production, pressing, welding and die-making floors, and release only what has proven effective in our own factories.

EVIDENCE

  • All four products in use at our parent company’s factories
  • Factories in Japan, China and Indonesia
02
CraftCRAFTSMANSHIP

We don’t dismiss expert judgment —
we preserve it, reasoning and all

We capture what veterans look at and what they base their decisions on, as procedures, criteria and records. Answering with sources — and saying “no answer” when unsure — is, we believe, what earns trust on the shop floor.

EVIDENCE

  • Answers with sources / “no answer” design
  • Skill matrix makes capabilities visible
03
SimpleEASE OF USE

Start with the equipment you have —
without adding admin work

Deploy using your existing security cameras, PCs and systems. Our top design priority is not adding to workers’ data entry or managers’ checking.

EVIDENCE

  • Use existing cameras and PCs as they are
  • Support from rollout to adoption on the floor

MULTILINGUAL & GLOBAL

Overseas factories,
the same system.

Switch the screen between five languages. International staff reach the same procedures and the same criteria in their own language. Because our parent company also runs factories in China and Indonesia, we design for overseas operations from the start.

Before releasing anything, we use it on our own floor and iron out the problems.

Automotive parts manufacturingParent company factoryiFactiS KnowledgeAdmin-first phased rollout

Parent company factory (automotive parts manufacturer)

Protecting “information that must not be seen” while rolling out from managers to the floor

Concerns
That anyone could freely register information — and that people could see information they shouldn’t.
Approach
Managers first reviewed how permissions work → set viewing conditions per document (department, role, certification, plant) → opened access to general users step by step while monitoring usage in the audit log.
Today
Even managers unfamiliar with IT now register documents on their own after a first walkthrough. Small complaints from the floor become material for the next improvement.
NEW
Coming soon: TalentLine × Nexus integration

We plan to connect staff assignment (TalentLine) with production management (Nexus). Starting from the pain points on the floor, we keep developing new products.

Let’s work out together where your factory should start.

Implementation flow

STEP 01Apply

Use the form on this page to request a brochure, a consultation or a free trial (Knowledge and TalentLine). It takes about a minute.

STEP 02On-site interview

Together we identify which work relies too heavily on people, and which process stops when someone is away.We look at processes, work procedures, forms and Excel files — even verbal checks.

STEP 03Product selection & proposal

We decide on the first product and the scope to try it on (a line or a department).

STEP 04Rollout & adoption support

We support you from setup and training through adoption on the floor.e.g., Knowledge includes individual onboarding support plus three online consultation sessions over three months

STEP 05Expand to other lines & sites

Once the results are confirmed on the floor, expand to the next process, site or product.

Tip

There’s no need to adopt all four products at once.We recommend starting with the one task that relies most on people, and expanding once the floor feels the difference.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

QCan we introduce just one product?
A

Yes. Every product can be introduced on its own. We recommend starting with one product and combining others after confirming the results on the floor.

QDo we need to set up a server in-house?
A

It depends on the product. Knowledge and TalentLine are used over the internet, so no in-house server is needed (Knowledge runs entirely within your Microsoft Azure environment). Nexus is used with a server (Windows Server) installed on your premises. Vision uses your existing security cameras and network, and requires a server to process the video — either in-house or in the cloud (a server on the internet), depending on your needs.

QCan we use it without an in-house IT person?
A

Yes. The screens are designed so that people on the floor can use them without getting lost. Scuti supports you from setup and training through adoption on the floor.

QCan international staff and overseas factories use it?
A

It supports five languages — Japanese, English, Chinese, Indonesian and Vietnamese — and you can switch between them on screen. It is designed for use at our parent company’s factories in China and Indonesia.

QIs our company data secure?
A

Knowledge runs entirely within your Microsoft Azure environment, and your data is never used to train AI. Information a user isn’t authorized to see doesn’t even appear in search results, and who did what and when is recorded in the audit log. Single sign-on (Microsoft Entra ID, Google, Okta, LDAP) is also supported.

QHow much does it cost?
A

Pricing depends on the number of users, sites and the scope of rollout, so we provide individual quotes. Choose the online meeting option in the form and feel free to ask.

CONTACT

Start with the job that depends most on “that one person.”

Recommended for factories where:

  • Work is concentrated on skilled workers or specific people
  • More international and new staff mean procedures and judgment need to be standardized
  • Major vendors’ systems feel too expensive, too complex, or a poor fit
