We install an agentic AI chief of staff in your manufacturing business — connected to your existing systems, managed by real local people. You give it a goal. It delivers the result. Not a chatbot. A digital employee.
Does everything in your company run through you?
Do you feel like nothing gets done unless you're involved?
That's what we fix.
Every customer issue, every production question, every decision — it flows through you. You're running the business and fighting fires at the same time.
You don't know what's happening on the floor right now. You find out about problems when they're already costing you money.
You've seen a thousand "AI tools" online. They answer questions. They don't do the work. None of them are built for the way a manufacturer actually runs a business.
Your shop management software, your email, your CRM — they all live in separate islands. Nobody's connected the dots.
We do the heavy lifting. You show up for three meetings and get back to running your business.
We come to you. 45 minutes. We map your current systems, understand how information flows in your business, and identify exactly where AI will have the biggest impact. No charge, no obligation.
Our team connects your existing software, configures your AI chief of staff, and sets up your president's daily digest and dashboard. You need about 2 hours of your time total during this phase.
We walk you and your key people through the system. Most presidents are using it independently within a day. It's designed to feel natural — not like learning software.
AI moves fast. We maintain your system monthly, update it as new capabilities emerge, and are a local phone call away when you need something. You never deal with a help desk.
"Acme Industries has a weld defect on order #4821. Loop in Dave in engineering and make sure someone follows up tomorrow morning."
Case logged in your system. Dave notified. Follow-up task created for 9am tomorrow. Confirmation sent back to you in 30 seconds.
"Acme Industries defect case — resolved by Dave at 11:15am. Customer confirmed satisfied. No further action needed."
The loop closed itself. That's what it feels like when your business has an AI chief of staff.
Every week another company slaps "AI" on a chatbot. That's not what we built. Here's the difference — and why it matters on your shop floor.
"What jobs are behind?" → It tells you.
"Who should I call?" → It tells you.
Then you pick up the phone, draft the email, update the CRM, and schedule the follow-up. The chatbot waits for your next question.
"Make sure nothing conflicts with Thursday's customer visit and prep me a briefing."
It checks your calendar, resolves the conflict, pulls the customer's history from your CRM, drafts the briefing, and has it ready before you sit down. You gave it a goal. It delivered the result.
The platform is live in production at a Wisconsin injection mold manufacturer today, built on production-grade infrastructure — not a prompt layered over a chatbot. Here's what's actually running under the hood.
Hard rules force real CRM, calendar, and email queries on every entity mention. It cannot make up an answer — it must return real data.
Learns your customers, suppliers, and workflows over time. After six months, it knows more about your operation than most of your employees.
Monitors deadlines. Sends Monday briefings. Flags SLAs before they slip. Reaches out to you — not the other way around.
It doesn't just read — it drafts emails, updates the CRM, creates calendar events, and logs notes. You confirm, it writes. You stay in control.
Zoho, Google Workspace, Outlook, Gmail, HubSpot, Salesforce. Calendar, CRM, email, file storage, accounting — all connected and in sync.
Apps live in the App Store and Google Play. Designed for walking the shop floor with dirty hands — not sitting at a desk.
Not a prototype. Real manufacturers using real integrations today. We built MFG Edge for one industry and proved it works in three.
Daily production use across six team members spanning US and international engineering teams. Integrated with CRM, calendar, email, file storage, and accounting. SLA monitoring across three continents. Live since day one.
Fully deployed production environment with custom AI personality, branded interface, and live client data. Proves that what we built for one shop works for a completely different operation.
Third client in a third vertical. Validates that the platform is industry-agnostic within manufacturing — not locked to any specific type of shop.
Transparent pricing. No surprises. Every plan includes ongoing monthly support — we don't set it up and disappear. Unlimited interactions at every tier. No per-message fees.
Custom AI systems built by agencies typically cost $25,000–$85,000 for setup alone, with ongoing retainers of $2,000–$8,000/month. Off-the-shelf AI tools run $20–$500/month but aren't built for manufacturing and don't connect your systems. We deliver a fully custom, managed AI system at a fraction of what agencies charge — because our deployments are streamlined and our platform is purpose-built for manufacturers. That's less than one salary for more than one hire.
I've been running Jade Molds for over 20 years. I don't have time to learn new software — I need something that works the way I work. Jane keeps my calendar straight, follows up on customer issues, and gives me a daily rundown of what needs my attention. It's like having a chief of staff who never takes a day off.
We started MFG Edge AI because we watched too many manufacturers get sold software they couldn't use by people they'd never meet again.
We're local. When something breaks, you call us — not a help desk in another state. When AI evolves (and it evolves fast), we update your system before you even notice something changed.
We don't sell you new software. We connect what you already have and make it work harder for you. We've done implementations on everything from modern cloud systems to shops running on spreadsheets and gut instinct. We've yet to walk away because of a client's tech stack.
Our goal is simple: the president of your company should wake up every morning knowing exactly what happened overnight, what needs a decision today, and what the team is already handling. Everything else is noise.
We shake your hand. We visit your floor. We're accountable to you in person.
We work with your existing systems. You don't need to buy new software.
AI moves fast. Your monthly retainer keeps your system on the cutting edge.
We measure success by what the president stops having to do manually.
Josh is an entrepreneur with over 20 years in the manufacturing industry. He holds a Master's degree in Management Information Systems and a Doctorate (DBA) in Global Operations and Supply Chain Management. He bridges the gap between how manufacturers actually operate and what AI can realistically do for them — and he speaks both languages fluently.
Pat is the president of Jade Molds with over 20 years in injection mold manufacturing. He's built companies, managed global operations across three continents, and lived every pain point that small manufacturers face. When Pat recommends an AI system, it's because he runs it in his own shop every day.
We have capacity for a limited number of founding clients. Book your free assessment before our founding cohort is full.
We come to your facility, map your current systems, and show you exactly what an AI implementation would look like for your specific operation. You'll leave with a clear picture — whether you work with us or not.
