Crowlin / AI for manufacturing

AI for manufacturing that knows your procedures.

Supervisors, quality, purchasing and new hires ask in plain language. Crowlin answers from procedures, data sheets, shift reports and connected systems — with a link to the source and only within each person’s permissions.

Where time goes missing.

The information exists. It just sits on shared drives, in e-mail, in the ERP and in experienced people’s heads.

Searching documentation

The final inspection procedure, part tolerances, machine settings. People dig through folders or call a colleague.

Onboarding new people

New colleagues keep asking seniors the same things, while the seniors have work on the line.

Morning meetings without data

What happened on the shifts, what got delayed, which complaints are urgent — pieced together by hand from several systems.

Questions asked on the shop floor every day.

Every answer links to the document it comes from. Everyone sees only what they are permitted to see.

A supervisor on the shop floor reads an answer on her phone
Quality

“How do we handle a batch complaint?”

Steps from the procedure with a link to the exact clause and deadlines.

Supervisor

“Why did line 2 stop yesterday?”

From shift reports and the maintenance plan, with a source for every sentence.

Purchasing

“What lead time does our steel supplier have?”

From the framework contract and order history in the connected ERP.

Engineering

“What are the tolerances for this part?”

From data sheets and drawings, for authorised roles only.

What we connect.

We start with the documents you already have. Further systems are connected where the pilot shows value.

1

Procedures and ISO documentation

PDF, Word and Excel from shared storage. Permissions by folder and confidentiality level.

2

Data sheets and scans

The model on the server reads text even from scanned documents and photos of labels.

3

Shift reports and complaints

Synchronised every night, with a morning summary of what changed.

4

ERP and other systems

Orders, jobs, stock. Integration through the system’s API (SAP, local ERPs or custom solutions) is built during implementation.

Common questions from manufacturing

Does Crowlin work for people without a computer on the line?
Yes. The app installs on a phone straight from the browser, without an app store. You can type a question or photograph a document or label.
Do we have to clean up our documents first?
No. Crowlin works with PDF, Word, Excel and scans. The pilot also shows which questions your documentation can’t answer.
Will a supervisor see prices and margins?
Only if you allow it. Permissions follow roles and teams. Production typically sees procedures and reports, not commercial terms.
Where is our production documentation stored?
In a secure environment in the EU (a data centre in Germany), or on your own infrastructure. We don’t send documents to external AI providers when processing document questions.
How long does it take to get started?
A pilot for one team typically takes 6–8 weeks, including connecting documents and measuring accuracy on a control set of questions.

We’ll show you on your own data.

We’ll show you Crowlin on a sample of your documents in an isolated space. We delete the data after the demo on request. The demo is non-binding.

How the first demo works

  1. Intro call, 30 minutes. What people in your company ask about and which documents hold the answers.
  2. Demo on your documents, about an hour. Online or on site. You send a sample; Crowlin answers from it live.
  3. Pilot proposal. Scope, success criteria, timeline and a fixed price. You decide only then.
