What this solves
What a heat treatment job shop deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it
Today
Furnaces run half-full because lots are batched by habit, so power per kg is high. Hardness certificates are typed by hand from the register every evening.
In MatruOS
MatruOS sets up 8 routines, 2 workflows, 3 registers and 9 licences for a heat treatment job shop, with an AI team that reads your own records and prepares the work.
What changes
The right person is reminded at the right time, approvals wait for whoever decides, and every licence has a renewal reminder. Anything that sends, pays, signs, files or deletes waits for a person's approval.
