Your Factory's Next Decade of Throughput.

Your plant runs on tools from another era.
Modernize it in a single week.

Drop the spreadsheets and the rigid software modules. Describe how your line actually runs, and Kiln ships working software your operators use the next morning — a live Factory OS in 24 hours.

Meet Kiln

On-demand factory software, delivered overnight.

Not another rip-and-replace project. Kiln runs alongside the systems you already have, fixes your worst bottleneck first, and grows only when you decide it should.

Your ERP keeps running. Your MES keeps humming. Kiln ties them together — or retires them. Your call.

No prompts, no “learning AI” — just the next step.

Most operators ramp in about 15 minutes.

Tell me what’s next

Clear task lists instead of three systems and a whiteboard. Step-by-step work instructions that make sense — no hunting for the right SOP version.

Capture what works

Document the way the line actually runs without writing a manual. Hand a fix to the next shift without re-explaining it twice.

OverviewDetail

Shop floor operations

Next action

Standard ERP and MES make you ignore the 5% of edge cases — or paper over them with spreadsheets.

But the edge cases are the business. Kiln turns them into standard work.

Today

A run drifts outside the standard recipe and the system has no place to put it. The fix lives in someone’s head, and the next shift starts from zero.

With Kiln

Encode the off-spec path as a real workflow with its own steps and checks, so the exception becomes repeatable, trained work.

Kiln Platform

Why Kiln is the safer bet

Waterfall rollouts ask you to wait months for the first result. Kiln ships working software on day three, then a new version every day you can test on the floor — smaller bets, faster feedback, lower risk.

The Factory OS that grows with you

Every Kiln instance includes

Production-grade operational software

Custom software that writes itself

Not templates or drag-and-drop. Describe how the work runs and Kiln generates real software — complex forms, multi-step procedures, validation logic, and custom reports — built for your operation.

New workflow

“Track cavity-specific defects with a photo at each station”

Minimal work screens

An interface anyone on the floor can run

The best interface is almost no interface. Kiln quietly guides the next action, checks what is critical, and records the data — so adoption sticks across every shift.

Mark done

A living schedule that adapts

Scheduling that knows your reality

A dynamic engine that understands your real constraints — tools, crews, materials, deadlines — and re-sequences in real time. Not a static plan, a self-optimizing response.

Live schedule — Line 3

Re-sequenced 8 minutes ago

An iterative data backbone

A clean data foundation you can trust

Every run, sign-off, and exception captured as structured data — so reports come from what actually happened on the floor, not estimates rebuilt after the fact.

Run data — clean records

Deep operational intelligence

Your plant’s searchable brain

Ask anything about the operation and get a researched answer. Every SOP, machine manual, and piece of tribal knowledge becomes instantly searchable institutional memory.

“Why did yield drop on Line 2 yesterday?”

Yield fell 4% after the 14:00 changeover. Two stations logged torque-spec retries on the new fixture.

Connect to anything

Universal integration into your stack

Kiln plugs into the systems you already run — ERP, MES, WMS, PLCs — and unifies them behind one data layer, so nothing has to be ripped out to get started.

What the first two weeks look like

Day 1 – 2

Pick one bottleneck

Your subject-matter experts design the workflow; operators show the real steps on the floor.

Day 3 – 5

First working software ships

Kiln delivers a running version of the workflow — real software, not a prototype, ready to test.

Day 6 – 10

Operators run it live

The floor uses it on real jobs. Every gap and edge case feeds straight back into the next build.

Day 11 – 14

Refine and roll out

Tighten the workflow, fold in the exceptions, and extend it to the next line or the next shift.

Roadmap

Your roadmap to full capability, accelerated

The tools that kept plants predictable for forty years were built for static workflows. Kiln gets you to a modern operation iteratively — on top of what you already run.

Week 1

One workflow live

Your worst bottleneck runs on Kiln and operators are already on it.

Weeks 2 – 4

The line covered

Connected workflows across a full line, with exceptions captured as standard work.

Month 2

Plant-wide visibility

One control center spanning lines, with scheduling and reporting on real run data.

Quarter 1

A Factory OS

Systems unified behind one data layer — the platform your next decade runs on.

Got questions

Frequently asked

Start with one painful process — scheduling a single line, or tracking one type of defect. You see working software in days and decide to expand only after it proves out on the floor.
