keep your tools and equipment ready for every job
If your tooling and equipment aren't properly checked, maintained, and tracked, production risks skyrocket. A single damaged tool or miscalibrated machine can lead to scrap, rework, and safety hazards. Without a consistent process, these oversights can cause big disruptions:
✘ Damaged tools can lead to defective parts and wasted materials
✘ Equipment failures can cause unwanted downtime and missed deadlines
✘ Safety incidents increase when faulty equipment goes unnoticed
✘ Operators waste time searching for available, functional tools
✘ Miscalibrated tools produce out-of-spec parts without detection
Quantum keeps your tooling and equipment in peak condition with digital checklists, calibration tracking, and availability status at a glance. Your team can verify readiness before every job, prevent defects, and maintain safety—without slowing down production.

tooling & equipment checks with Quantum
Know where your tools are are and that they follow the proper calibration cycles based on actual usage.
active tool management
Keep track of all your tools those that are on machines, workbenches, out for calibration and even those in inventory. Know where you purchase them, how much they cost and exactly where you have used them. Where required, reserve specific tools that have been certified for specific customers.
eliminate order delays
Make sure every tool you need for the job is present and accounted for when you need it. Quantum even warns you when an Order for a piece of work is sent to the floor and the tools that are needed are not going to be ready or available. Get alerts when calibration cycles are coming due with Quantum and know the schedule delays that might come if you choose not to calibrate at the right time.
eliminate calibration holds
Get alerts when calibration cycles are coming due with Quantum and know the schedule delays that might come if you choose not to calibrate at the right time. Eliminate the risk of having to hold a piece of work back because the tools you needed were not in inventory or ready for the job.
what's possible with Quantum
reduce tooling costs
Plan your tooling into your work and reduce overall costs. Order tools only when you absolutely need to. Keep your inventory tools trimmed down to the bare minimum with tool threshold management and accurate location and tracking.
eliminate tooling mistakes
Track individual tool instances and record tool serial numbers on each use to ensure that you are using a proper and calibrated tool each and every time. Provide complete traceability records of every tool to the Order or Orders each was used on and give yourself the peace of mind that comes with complete Tool Management.

production control
Manage every job on your shop floor on-time without opening a spreadsheet or tracking down a routing. Control the flow of production with job control, priority rules, and live feedback from the floor. Whether you have one big job or 1,000s all at once, Quantum keeps everything running on time and in order.
With Quantum, supervisors don't waste hours chasing down updates or reporting jobs manually, changes work their way through the system automatically. Production stays aligned with delivery commitments, even when urgent jobs or last-minute changes hit. The result: fewer delays, smoother workflows, and higher on-time delivery rates without overwhelming your supervisors. A piece of mind knowing every job is tracked, controlled, and completed profitably.
digital work instructions
Deliver step-by-step instructions directly to operators, customized by part, shift, or line. Attach videos, images, diagrams, text and alternate instructions. Quantum ensures standardized processes and faster training with dynamic, visual documentation. Instead of relying on outdated paper packets or institutional knowledge, operators always have the most current version of instructions at their fingertips. Updates push instantly to the floor, eliminating confusion, wasted work, and costly rework.
Operators work with greater confidence and accuracy, which reduces scrap, accelerates onboarding, and keeps production consistent across every shift. Quantum transforms training and compliance from a burden into a strength.
process tracking
Manage every step of the processes you are running on your shop floor, whether it's a simple routing, a job packet or a complex set of integrated process steps. With Quantum, your team always knows the status of each order—no spreadsheets, no guesswork. Every handoff, approval, and milestone is tracked in real time. Managers can quickly spot bottlenecks, operators know what's next, and leadership has full visibility into progress and profitability.
That means better visibility, faster problem-solving, and the ability to hit deadlines without relying on manual updates. Quantum ensures nothing gets lost in the shuffle, even on your busiest production days.
product & process setup
Design your products and build the processes to manufacture them from simple job steps to complex, multi-stage routings. Whether you need basic work instructions or detailed engineering-driven workflows, this is where production begins. Setups that once took weeks can be digitized, tested, and launched quickly in Quantum. Your engineering team can define processes once, then scale them seamlessly across parts, job, and lines.
Quantum ensures that every new product launch or process update starts right the first time, cutting down trial-and-error costs and getting you into production faster. Consistency and repeatability becomes built-in, not an afterthought.
quality control
Demand complete compliance with your processes and your audit requirements. Reallocate work automatically or on-demand with the touch of a button. Capture quality checks, specs, and nonconformances as they happen. Quantum helps enforce quality gates and instantly flags issues—before they hit the customer. Because Quantum integrates quality checks directly into production workflows, quality becomes proactive instead of reactive. Issues are flagged early, so teams can respond immediately rather than after defects pile up.
This reduces rework, improves customer satisfaction, and protects your reputation while making audits simple and stress-free. Quantum ensures quality isn't just inspected, it's built into everything you produce.

alerts
Ensure every member of your shop can communicate with the right team(s) without wandering around. Get real-time alerts for production delays, tool expirations, missed scans, and more. Send alerts or just leave notes for future shifts. With Quantum, your team can act fast—before small issues become big problems. Instead of relying on radios, sticky notes, or word-of-mouth, Quantum keeps communication instant, visible, and logged. Operators, supervisors, and leadership all stay aligned without stepping away from their work.
Instant communication means fewer bottlenecks, quicker recoveries, and a more connected shop floor that runs smoothly across every shift. It's like having a built-in notification system for your shop floor.
