PilotRun replaces the inbox and spreadsheets that slow down every hardware project. An AI manufacturing coordinator that sources suppliers, tracks quotes, and reports progress — while you focus on the product.
AI ingests your BOM and technical specs, identifies required processes, and emails qualified suppliers — with the right drawings attached.
Every quote lands in one place. AI flags outliers, tracks revision cycles, and surfaces the best option — ranked by cost, lead time, and capability.
AI checks supplier status daily, flags delays before they become crises, and escalates to human engineers only when decisions are needed.
ECO hits your BOM? PilotRun identifies affected suppliers, drafts change notifications, and tracks acknowledgments — automatically.
Every morning: what's changed, what's late, what needs your attention. A prioritized briefing in plain English — not a dashboard you have to check.
AI remembers every interaction — past quotes, lead times, quality history — so the next project starts smarter, not from scratch.
Drop your BOM, drawings, and process requirements. PilotRun reads everything — part numbers, tolerances, quantities, preferred materials.
Based on your process needs (CNC, injection molding, sheet metal, casting), the agent builds a shortlist and initiates outreach — with tailored emails per process.
Supplier responses are parsed, ranked, and presented. You see cost, lead time, and capability at a glance. No more email threads.
Once a supplier is selected, the agent tracks progress daily, flags delays, manages ECOs, and sends you a morning briefing. You stay informed, not buried.
Hi Midwest CNC team,
We have an upcoming production run requiring CNC milled aluminum brackets for a consumer hardware product. Specifications attached — 6061-T6 aluminum, ±0.005" tolerance, anodized finish.
Initial order: 250 units, with 2-3x reorder potential per quarter. We'd need first article samples within 10 business days of PO.
Could you provide a quote for unit price, tooling setup, and lead time? Happy to share full drawings on request.
Best,
The PilotRun team
