Work orders, preventive maintenance, parts, and repair history.
THE AI FACTORY INTELLIGENCE SYSTEM
Factory intelligence.
Work coordinated.
IQ Thread brings maintenance, production, machine connectivity, analytics, and your factory’s knowledge into one system—with AI at the center to investigate, coordinate, and get work done.
PEOPLE + MACHINES + CONTEXT
3D FACTORYBuilt in the in-app Factory Designer
ONE CONNECTED SYSTEM
The tools to run your factory.
The intelligence to connect the work.
Run production
Planning, dispatch, output, downtime, and performance.
Connect your machines
Bring machine signals and operating states into the same workspace.
Investigate and improve
Compare signals, learn signatures, investigate anomalies, and share analyses, reports, and dashboards.
Ask your factory’s knowledge
Find answers in manuals, schematics, drawings, procedures, and past repairs—with citations and the original source attached.
Ask AI to bring the evidence together, coordinate the next step, and take the actions your role allows.
01 / ASK YOUR FACTORY
Don’t learn another menu.
Just ask.
Get the issue, the records behind it, and a next step your role allows you to take. Find a previous repair. Check the cited drawing. Create the work with its context attached.
WHAT WOULD YOU ASK YOUR FACTORY?
IQ can create work orders, build procedures, and find machine time.
Your role determines what it can do.
Ask IQRECORDED ANSWER
Factory context, already in the conversation.
Your manuals and drawings belong in the conversation, too. Retrieve answers from schematics, procedures, and repair history—with citations and the original source attached.
Explore recorded repair and drawing answers, alongside clearly labelled workflow examples.

The answer is
just the beginning.
Find the issue. Make room for the repair. Then watch the restart and measure whether the change made a difference—with the evidence carried forward.
01 / FIND THE PRIORITY
Bring the issue, machine, and assigned work into view. The team can see what needs a decision before planning the next step.
Find your role in the workflowIllustrative workflow · actual application screens with example records.
03 / YOUR PART IN THE WORK
One connected workflow.
A place for every role.
The operator notices. The technician investigates. The planner makes room. Everyone contributes to the same factory history. Choose your role to explore the tools behind the conversation.

THE OPERATOR WORKSPACE
MY WORK / ASSIGNED & ACTIONABLE
Your assigned work, machine context, and labor clock in one focused workspace. Pick up an open job and keep progress attached to the work.
PRODUCTION PLAN / CONNECTED QUEUES
See running jobs and ordered queues by work center, with maintenance context alongside them. Coordinate the next move with the people who own the work.
SIGNALS / SHARED TIME AXIS
DASHBOARDS / ONE OPERATING REVIEW
Put live machine signals beside report KPIs and grouped results. See when each measure was calculated, then open the retained report result to review the evidence behind it.
04 / PROVE IT ON YOUR FLOOR
One machine. One real problem.
A reason to go further.
You don’t need to decide on a whole-plant rollout to see whether this helps. Start with a question your team actually needs answered, then judge the result together.
- 01Bring one manual
Create a free workspace, add a machine, and upload its PDF. Ask a question you know matters. Open the citation and check the answer against the source.
Try your first question - 02Try one real handoff
Choose a recurring problem with the people who own it. Follow its context from request to investigation and closeout. Agree what a useful improvement would look like.
- 03Decide from the evidence
Review what the team could find, act on, and retain. Then choose the records, seats, and machines to bring next. Live machine connectivity is optional.

BRING ONE FACTORY PROBLEM
Make the demo about your next decision.
Bring a recurring fault, a difficult handoff, or a report you rebuild every week. We’ll walk through the relevant workflow and discuss what a small evaluation would need—including your existing records and import options.

06 / A FEW PRACTICAL QUESTIONS
Before your
first shift.
Something else on your mind? Email us and a person will answer.
Do we need sensors or machine connectivity to start?
No. Start with your people, machines, and work orders. When you want machine data, IQ Thread accepts readings from the on-site collector you already run over MQTT, so whatever it speaks (OPC-UA, Modbus, MTConnect, Fanuc, S7, EtherNet/IP) arrives without new PLC work. It also reads i3X servers natively, and wireless sensors cover machines that don’t speak anything yet.
Can we bring our existing maintenance history?
Yes. We map your machines, work-order history, PM schedules, parts, and people into IQ Thread. Imported closeouts become searchable case history, so IQ can answer from what your team has already learned.
How fast can it answer from our own manuals?
Upload the PDF and it indexes the text, tables, and page images. A typical manual becomes answerable, with page-level citations, in about a minute. Large or complex documents can take longer.
Does it work with our ERP?
IQ Thread runs the whole maintenance purchasing loop itself: requisition, RFQ, purchase order, and receiving. Shops without an ERP run purchasing entirely here. Shops with one keep financials in the ERP and use IQ Thread for the maintenance side. Tell us which ERP you run and we’ll walk through it on the demo.
Can IQ take action, or does it only answer questions?
Both. It can analyze live records and cited documents and find free machine time. It can also use role-checked tools to schedule authorized work, create or update work orders, and build procedures and PM plans. You see every tool result, and destructive actions need confirmation.
Does it reschedule production or maintenance on its own?
No. Both teams see the same machine-time schedule, conflicts, and free gaps, but an authorized person decides whether either schedule changes.
Do operators need accounts or their own hardware?
No. Operators share the machine tablets: tap your name and enter a quick code. Quick codes only open the operator side, and operators never use a paid seat.
Where does our data live? Can it run on our own server?
Cloud workspaces isolate each company’s database, documents, and search data, with nightly backups. If you need it on your own server, the same application runs as a dedicated single-tenant installation. We’ll walk through the exact data path before rollout.
What happens to our data if we cancel?
It stays yours. Nothing is deleted, the workspace founder keeps access, and you can export everything.
