The System

View. Check. Route. Deliver.

01VIEW

Upload everything. Or just start.

Upload CAD files, drawings, and BOMs — complete or incomplete. KnowYi fills in the missing inputs.

02CHECK

Catch problems before production.

Every submission is checked for manufacturability issues, tolerance risks, and cost drivers — before a factory sees the files.

03ROUTE

Matched to the right execution path.

The build is matched to the right process and supplier path — injection mold, CNC, sheet metal, PCB/PCBA, servo, harness, or assemblies.

04DELIVER

Verified hardware. Full evidence.

Builds arrive with QC evidence, inspection reports, and delivery tracking — not just a shipped box.

Execution Coverage

One Execution Layer. Many Hardware Builds.

Stage 1

Prototype Builds

Engineering samples, early design validation, fast iteration, one-off components, prototype assemblies.

STEP/IGESSingle UnitsFast TurnaroundDesign Iteration
Stage 2

Pilot Builds

Small production runs, design freeze support, supplier validation, QC process setup, recurring order preparation.

Low VolumeDesign FreezeSupplier ValidationQC Setup
Stage 3

Production-Scale Support

Repeat builds, production supplier coordination, inspection evidence, delivery tracking, cost optimization, and long-term execution records.

Why KnowYi

Not a Manufacturer Hub. An AI Execution Workflow.

Traditional Approach
  • Files scattered across email, WhatsApp, and folders
  • Suppliers ask the same questions repeatedly
  • Quotes based on manual assumptions
  • Customers chase updates themselves
  • No memory between builds
  • No audit trail or QC evidence
KnowYi Execution Workflow
  • Structured intake — one submission, everything captured
  • AI-assisted input completion before supplier review
  • DFM check — manufacturability issues flagged upfront
  • Material and cost optimization built in
  • Supplier routing matched to build type and requirements
  • QC evidence and delivery tracking with every build

Every build becomes structured execution memory — across files, suppliers, revisions, quality evidence, and delivery outcomes.

Client Portal

One Project Workspace, RFQ to Shipped.

Submit files once. KnowYi builds a structured project record with quote assumptions, open questions, QC evidence, and delivery tracking.
