Which material standards does Automator support?

You configure the standards you need. Upload your acceptable ranges and tolerances once — industry standards, customer-specific requirements, internal limits — and Automator applies them consistently to every certificate from that point forward. Each inspection can be validated against multiple standards simultaneously.

Can Automator handle unusual or handwritten MTR reports?

Yes. Automator's document AI is built for real-world certificates — messy PDFs, varying layouts, scanned paper copies, photos taken on the floor. When a value genuinely can't be read with confidence, Automator flags it for manual review. Your team only touches the exceptions.

How secure is certificate data stored in Automator?

Automator runs on AWS with Azure OpenAI. All certificate data is encrypted at rest and in transit. Every action is logged — who accessed what, when, and what the outcome was. We meet enterprise security standards and support private cloud deployment for organizations that require it.

How long does Automator implementation take?

Days, not months. Kinetech's team handles integration with your data sources, configures your standards, and trains your users. Most clients are processing live certificates in their first week. ROI typically follows within the first month of use.

Which ERP and QMS systems can Automator integrate with?

Automator connects to email, shared drives, ERP systems including SAP, Oracle, and Infor, quality management platforms, supplier portals, and custom databases. It works with your existing infrastructure rather than replacing it.

Automator: AI-Powered MTR Automation & Supplier Quality Intelligence

CONSTANT BACKLOG

Certificates arrive around the clock — at 5–10 minutes each, they pile up faster than any team can keep pace with manually.

ERROR RISK

Hand-checking leads to missed specs and inconsistent results — especially when volume is high and the reviewer is on their tenth certificate of the afternoon.

AUDIT EXPOSURE

If your documentation lives in spreadsheets and email threads, you're one audit request away from a very stressful week. Traceability shouldn't be something you reconstruct after the fact.

THROUGHPUT BOTTLENECK

Certificates pile up, material sits on hold, and production waits. The review process becomes the constraint — not because your team isn't fast enough, but because the volume was never meant to be handled this way.

BLIND TO TRENDS

When review is manual, the data stays locked in the certificate. You can tell if one shipment passed. You can't tell if a supplier has been drifting toward your limits for three months.

What is Automator?

Automator is an AI-powered application that takes your MTR process off manual. It automatically reads test certificates as they arrive — regardless of format, layout, or supplier — validates every value against the correct standards, and logs every result in a secure, time-stamped audit trail.

Your quality team stops reviewing stacks of certificates and starts reviewing only the exceptions that need them. The volume gets handled. The documentation builds itself.

And for the first time, the data from every certificate you've ever processed becomes a usable asset — one that tells you which suppliers to trust, which to watch, and where the next problem is likely to come from before it reaches your floor.

Download Overview

⚡ Speed & Accuracy

Automator processes certificates in seconds with 99%+ data accuracy — handling every format and every new supplier without breaking stride. What takes your team six to ten minutes per report, Automator handles before the next one arrives in the inbox.

🔗 Seamless Integration & Scale

Connect to your ERP, QMS, email, and supplier portals without a rip-and-replace. Automator fills the gap in your existing systems — single site or multi-site — and pushes NCR and CAR results automatically so your workflows keep moving

📊 Predictive Insights & Suppliers

Once Automator has processed your certificates at scale, patterns emerge that manual review never could have surfaced. Supplier scorecards populate automatically. Drift detection flags values trending toward your limits. High-risk POs get flagged before release — based on what you already know about that supplier's history.

🛡️ Audit-Ready by Design

Every check is time-stamped and traceable the moment it happens — not reconstructed when someone asks for it. When an audit comes, or when a supplier dispute does, your team isn't scrambling. The record is already there.

VIRGIL

Prompt: Before we issue this PO, what's our risk profile for Supplier A on 316L — and should we be concerned?

Response: Supplier A — Elevated risk on 316L: tensile values have been drifting toward your upper limit over the last 90 days, with three near-limit readings on large lots. Chemistry has been stable. Recommendation: proceed with enhanced incoming inspection and pre-shipment verification. If volume exceeds your threshold, consider splitting the PO with Supplier C, who shows consistent conformance on this grade.

QUALITY MANAGERS

Your expertise shouldn't be consumed by manual certificate review. Automator handles the volume so your team can focus on supplier development, continuous improvement, and the decisions that actually require their judgment. Exception-first workflows mean they only touch what genuinely needs them.

QUALITY & SUPPLY CHAIN DIRECTORS

Supplier negotiations backed by data are a different conversation. Automator gives you accurate, longitudinal performance records for every supplier — failure rates, trend direction, compliance history — so you're not negotiating on gut feel. Catch compliance issues early and use that data to hold suppliers accountable before problems compound.

OPERATIONS VPs

Faster QA cycles mean faster material release to the line. Automator removes a throughput constraint most operations teams have accepted as fixed — without requiring new headcount or disrupting the systems already in place.

IT MANAGERS

Automator is hosted on AWS with AI powered by Azure OpenAI and supports private cloud deployment. It connects to your existing infrastructure — ERP, QMS, email, supplier portals — and fills a real gap in quality automation without requiring a platform overhaul. Implementation takes days, not quarters.
