Manufacturing Operations

The plant floor, the paperwork, and the reason the line stopped

Castia Manufacturing tracks production, quality, and maintenance — and reads the logs, the manuals, and the shift notes to explain what's going wrong while it's still fixable.

The challenge

What this looks like today

The fault was diagnosed three years ago, and the engineer who knew has retired.

Quality issues are found in the batch report, not on the line.

The maintenance manual is a 400-page PDF and the machine is down now.

Shift handover notes live in a paper book nobody reads.

The product

Everything you'd expect from Castia Manufacturing

The features you'd want from any tool in this category — because this is a product, not a plugin.

Production tracking

Runs, batches, yields, and downtime recorded per line, per shift, per machine.

Quality management

Inspections, non-conformances, CAPA, and the audit trail your certification depends on.

Maintenance & asset records

Planned and reactive maintenance, asset history, and parts — per machine, with the full service record.

Shift handover & workflows

Structured handovers, escalations, and sign-offs that survive the change of shift.

OEE dashboards

Availability, performance, and quality — the real numbers, per line and per shift.

…and everything you can’t get anywhere else

Castia Manufacturing is built on the Castia platform — so enterprise search, knowledge AI, reporting, workflow automation, and agents all apply directly to your work.

Fault diagnosis from history

Ask what's wrong and Castia searches every past fault, repair, and shift note for the machine — the retired engineer's knowledge is still in the system.

Search the manuals

"How do I reset the tolerance on line 3?" — the answer pulled from page 212 of the OEM manual, in seconds.

Downtime analysis

Not just how much downtime — which root cause, how often, and what it's costing per line.

Maintenance agents

An agent that watches the pattern and raises the work order before the failure, not after.

Ask the plant

"Why did yield drop on line 2 last week?" — reconciled across production logs, quality data, and maintenance records.

In practice

From question to finished work

Ask in plain language. Castia does the reading, the reconciling, and the drafting.

You ask

Line 2 has stopped with a torque fault. What do we do?

Outcomes

What changes

Downtime resolved with the plant's own history, not guesswork

Manuals and procedures answerable in seconds

Retiring engineers' knowledge retained in the system

Quality issues caught on the line, not in the batch report

Maintenance planned against real failure patterns

Connectors

Connects to the systems you already run
