What is the 30-day blueprint, and what does it cost?

A forward-deployed engineer works on-site with your team, connects your ERP, MES, quality systems, engineering prints, and spreadsheets, and delivers a ranked blueprint of where AI pays off. It is a flat-cost, defined-outcome engagement, not an open-ended consulting engagement, and you do not need to commit to a build.

What systems do you connect?

We connect the ERP, MES, quality systems, engineering prints, spreadsheets, and other source systems that hold how the business actually runs.

Yes. If you choose to build, you own the production-grade AI applications and the code, with governance and audit trails intact.

How long does a build take?

A build takes 60 days after the blueprint.

What if we only want the blueprint?

You can take the blueprint to your own team or to a partner you already trust. The blueprint is useful on its own, with no open-ended engagement attached.

How is ITAR and CMMC data handled?

Export-controlled data is handled by decisions made with your team: what data the foundation touches, where it is hosted, who can reach it, and what is logged. Access is scoped by role and by source system, and connections, queries, and exports leave an audit trail. For Structify's own certifications and current compliance posture, see the Trust Center.

The AI foundation for manufacturers

You have run this business for decades without AI. The problem is not ambition, it is that the data lives in an ERP, an MES, a quality system, a stack of prints, and a hundred spreadsheets nobody fully trusts. Structify builds the foundation first, then builds AI on top of it.

WHO IT IS FOR

Who it is for.

Fast-growing industrial manufacturers. The shop decides which of these reads like your floor.

Aerospace and defense
- ITAR and CMMC obligations
- AS9100 paperwork
- Prints that carry more requirements than the purchase order does
Precision machining
- Quote volume that outruns the estimators
- Control plans rebuilt by hand for every new part
Medical devices
- FDA-governed documentation
- A record that has to match what actually happened on the floor
Food and beverage
- Food safety records
- Lot traceability
- Demand that moves faster than the reporting cycle
Automotive
- Tier supplier schedules
- Change notices that arrive in a dozen formats
Industrial
- Mixed-mode quoting and order entry
- AP that still runs on email and attachments

A forward-deployed engineer embeds on-site and connects the systems that already run the plant: the ERP, the MES, the quality system, the engineering prints, and the spreadsheets that hold everything the systems do not. The result is a data map and a context handbook, a structured model of how your business actually runs, in an auto warehouse you own.

WHAT IT CONNECTS

What the foundation connects.

Five classes of system hold the record of how a plant actually runs. The connector directory lists the named systems under each one, and the ERP chooser compares the major ERPs side by side.

WHAT GETS BUILT

What gets built on it.

Production-grade AI business applications, shipped in the 60 days after the blueprint, with governance, audit trails, and code you own. These are the ones destined for the catalog; the full catalog carries the rest.

Teams

Supplier invoice three-way match

Reads supplier invoice PDFs and emails, matches them to PO and receipt lines, posts clean invoices, and routes only exceptions to a human queue.

Systems: ERP, AP inbox, scanned receipts, supplier emails
What it moves: Cut AP hours per invoice and capture early-pay discounts

Cost of quality tracking

Ties scrap, rework, corrective action, and complaint handling cost back to product line and root cause.

Systems: ERP job cost, QMS, corrective action records
What it moves: Make the cost of poor quality visible to the P and L

The regulated context

Regulated businesses cannot put AI on top of spreadsheets nobody trusts and hope the audit goes well. ITAR and CMMC govern who may touch defense data and where it may live. AS9100 and the FDA govern what you have to be able to prove after the fact. Food safety rules govern traceability down to the lot. That is why we build the foundation first: a model of how the business runs, with governance, audit trails, and code you own, so every AI application on top of it can be explained to an auditor.
