Manufacturing
AI systems built on a real manufacturing ERP
A series of connected AI engineering playbooks built on ForgeFlow, a fictional but realistic precision engineering ERP. Each playbook solves a specific business problem using AI - starting from the procurement, production, quality, and sales data ForgeFlow already has, and adding one AI capability at a time.
How it works
One factory, many AI systems
Every playbook in this series starts from ForgeFlow - a fictional but realistic precision engineering business built on ERPNext. ForgeFlow has purchase orders, quality inspections, work orders, and sales orders. It does not have AI.
Each playbook adds one AI capability to ForgeFlow. You learn the technique, see it applied to real ERP data, and end up with architecture you can apply to your own manufacturing or supply chain system.
Business Value
What AI adds to a manufacturing business
Each playbook adds one measurable AI capability. The same approach applies to any ERP - SAP, Oracle, Odoo, or a custom system - because the underlying data (purchase orders, work orders, quality records) is the same everywhere.
ForgeFlow runs on ERPNext, an open-source Python ERP framework. The AI systems built in this series read from a standard data layer (purchase orders, quality records, work orders) that every major ERP produces.
