Know what every line did, and what it cost, before the shift ends.
A factory is bigger than the systems that record it. What each line made today, what it used to make it, why a shift came up short and what that cost downstream: most of it is decided on the floor, by the people who run it, and lives in their heads and their spreadsheets before it lives anywhere else. The brain holds all of it, every site on the same record.
01 · Built from how yours runs
No two factories run the same way. Neither do two brains.
We don’t arrive with a template of your industry. The brain is built from how your operation actually runs, in your own words: your sites and lines, your materials and products, your machines and their history, your shifts, your orders, and what your people know that was never written down. Then it is kept true as the operation changes.
What it holds
02 · See the whole of it
Every site, every line, one picture.
Each morning, the state of the whole operation, ready before anyone asks for it: output against plan by site and by line, where the hours went, what each product cost to make and what it sold for, what is short, what is late and what is sitting. And any question that crosses the floor and the office, answered from the record, with every figure traced to where it came from.
A few of the questions it answers. Yours will be different.
Where did the hours go last month, site by site?
Which products drove the revenue, and which margins are slipping?
If a raw material price jumped tomorrow, where would it hit first?
03 · Hand off the routine
The shift report is written before the meeting.
Agents work on the same brain, on the floor’s side of the business and on the commercial side. The morning note that says what ran, what slipped and why. The weekly reconciliation of what was made against what was sold and what is in stock. The follow-up on a job that is overdue or a supplier that is late.
You decide what it does on its own and what it brings to you first, and that rule lives in the brain, not in a policy document.
A few examples. You choose what runs.
04 · How deep it reaches
From your systems to the floor.
The brain starts with your systems, your spreadsheets and your people, and keeps going. Machines and sensors on the floor feed it directly, so what a line did is on the record as it happens rather than at the end of the shift. Every site feeds the same brain, and it deepens month by month, into the parts of the operation that never had a system at all.
05 · What gets built
Built for your operation alone.
Meridian is where everyone sees the whole picture. When a part of the operation needs a screen of its own, we build it for that operation alone, on the same brain, so it works from the same record as everything else. Nothing else in the plant changes.
