For Ontario Manufacturers

Manufacturing Automation Consultant for Small Ontario Shops

I automate the office side of a shop — quoting, production reports, purchase orders, QC paperwork — whether you run a full ERP or QuickBooks and a stack of spreadsheets. This is workflow automation, not robots or PLCs.

Most of the shops around Huron County and the Lakeshore are small — a dozen people, a scheduling whiteboard, and a pile of spreadsheets. That's the size of business this is built for.

What Slows Ontario Manufacturers Down

Reports Take Hours, Not Minutes

Pulling production metrics means exporting from three systems, merging in Excel, and emailing static PDFs. By the time the report lands, it's already stale.

Quoting Is a Bottleneck

Custom RFQs sit in inboxes for days while someone hunts for material costs, historical pricing, and lead times. Win rate drops because you're slower than the competition.

Documents Eat the Day

Spec sheets, purchase orders, compliance certs, and QC forms all arrive as PDFs or scans. Someone retypes the data into the ERP, and errors slip through.

Systems Don't Talk

Your accounting system, scheduling board, QC binder and shipping software each hold part of the truth. Reconciling them eats full days every month.

What I Build for Ontario Manufacturers

Practical systems that replace manual work — not glossy dashboards that gather dust.

Unified Production Dashboards

Single view of output, downtime, and scrap across shifts, pulling live data from ERP and MES systems into one place.

AI Quoting Assistants

Customer RFQ comes in, the system extracts specs, checks material costs, pulls historical pricing, and generates a draft quote in minutes.

Document Extraction Pipelines

PDFs, packing slips, and compliance forms parsed automatically and pushed into the ERP — no retyping.

Plain-English Answers From Your Production Log

Operators ask plain-English questions ("why did line 3 stop at 2am?") and get answers sourced from production logs.
