On time, every time — even with expedited orders and unexpected changes

Problem

Manual scheduling can’t keep up with changing priorities or complex workflows, leading to delays and inefficiencies.

Solution
Fulcrum continuously recalculates priorities as due dates, job status, and tooling constraints shift. Routing, capacity, and machine visibility live in one connected system, so production adjusts automatically when conditions change. Operators see what matters now, leaders spot bottlenecks early, and throughput increases without adding machines or headcount.

Inventory that stays ahead of the schedule

Problem
When purchasing, material availability, and job demand live in separate systems, teams guess. Expensive alloys are ordered too early or too late. Buyers expedite. Schedulers reshuffle. Programs slip. Even when compliance is in place, a lack of real-time visibility creates friction between purchasing, planning, and the shop floor.
Solution
Fulcrum connects material, purchasing, and job demand in one live system. Inventory levels update in real time as programs change, with lot and cert data tied directly to the jobs that consume them. Planners can see when 7075, Inconel, or stainless stock will run short — before it affects the schedule. Purchasers act with confidence, following Purchase Recommendations. Autoschedule isn't held back by missing material. Production moves forward without surprise shortages, unnecessary overbuying, or traceability gaps.

Flexible, AI reporting generated for you

Problem
Many legacy systems record what happened but make it difficult to see what's happening right now. Margin problems surface after jobs are complete. Bottlenecks hide until delivery slips. AI cannot improve operations it cannot see clearly.
Solution
Fulcrum centralizes quoting, scheduling, production, and quality data into one structured system. Live reports surface utilization, job performance, and profitability in real time.

The AI-powered Report Builder allows you to ask operational questions in plain English — because the data underneath is unified and usable. Tighter coordination drives smarter decisions. Smarter decisions drive faster growth.

Introducing Control

Quality that moves with production

Problem
In many CNC shops, inspection plans, CMM results, and documentation live outside the production system. That separation creates duplicate entry, delayed feedback, and slower responses to variation. When quality data is fragmented, it can’t drive real-time decisions.
Solution
Fulcrum embeds quality directly into production. Drawings, bubbled characteristics, inspection execution, CMM imports, calibration tracking, and document generation live in the same system that runs your jobs.

AI-assisted drawing review and auto-drafted inspection plans eliminate manual transcription, so teams review and refine instead of retyping tolerances. Inspection data is captured once, structured immediately, and flows automatically into AS9102 reports and compliance packets. Variation surfaces earlier, rework drops, and audits become routine instead of disruptive.

Explore Control

Automatic document generation

Generate AS9102 FAIRs and compliance packets directly from structured production and inspection data. If it’s captured once, it flows everywhere. No rework, no re-entry.

Digital calibration tracking

Proactively prevent drift with automated alerts, tool-level history, and structured calibration records tied directly to inspection data.

Full lot and serial traceability

Create a connected digital thread across materials, operations, tools, and measurements — with every result tied to who performed it, when, and with what calibrated instrument.

Eliminate manual CMM entry

Import structured CMM data directly into the system. AI-assisted characteristic mapping aligns measurements to bubbled features automatically — eliminating duplicate entry and transcription errors.
