Inventory & Production Management for Metalworking Machinery

The control
tower for your
machine tool
production floor.

Precision spindles, ball screws, and cast iron beds across CNC, press, and grinding machine lines. FalOrb gives metalworking machinery manufacturers real-time visibility into precision components, deep assembly BOMs, and build-to-order production schedules.

01 / The Problem - Build Floor
■ The Problem

Your machine tool builds
run on
component wait times.

Spindles ground to sub-micron accuracy. Cast iron beds stress-relieved and aged for months. Ball screws sourced from specialty manufacturers with 16-week lead times. Every machine is assembled to order with unique configurations. When a customer changes a specification mid-build, the procurement impact cascades across dozens of components.

FalOrb was built for the precision and lead-time demands of machine tool manufacturing - where a delayed spindle delivery pushes an entire machine shipment by weeks.

Pain 01
Ultra-Precision Component Sourcing
Spindles, linear guides, and ball screws require micron-level accuracy. Limited supplier base with long lead times. No early warning when supplier delivery dates slip against machine build schedules.
Pain 02
Build-to-Order Configuration Depth
Every machine configured to customer specifications - travel ranges, spindle types, tool changer capacity, control systems. Each configuration generates a unique BOM. Configuration changes after order generate cascading BOM revisions.
Pain 03
Casting and Fabrication Lead Times
Cast iron beds and columns require months of stress relief before machining. Fabricated weldments need thermal treatment. Production must start long before the full order specification is finalised.
Pain 04
Geometric Accuracy Verification
Every assembled machine requires geometric accuracy testing before shipment. Laser interferometer and ballbar test scheduling disconnected from assembly completion. Machines queue for testing while customers wait.

02 / The Platform - Built for Metalworking Machinery Manufacturing
■ The Platform

One system from
raw casting to
verified machine tool.

FalOrb covers the full metalworking machinery lifecycle. Precision component inventory, build-to-order BOM management, long-cycle production tracking, and test scheduling - all connected with serial-level traceability.

Every spindle is tracked. Every casting is aged. Every geometric test is recorded. From raw casting through machining, assembly, alignment, and testing to shipped and commissioned machine tools.

■ How It Works

From stockout
to signal in
under a second.

When a critical material drops below threshold, FalOrb doesn't wait for someone to notice. The system detects, alerts, acts, and records - automatically.

01
Detect
Stock health reclassified in real-time. Four-state system flags the risk level before it becomes a problem.
02
Alert
The right role receives the alert. 13 alert types ensure the signal reaches the person who can act.
03
Act
Transfer request routed. MRP recommendation generated. Production order adjusted. Structured workflow, not ad hoc chat.
04
Record
Every action logged to the immutable audit ledger. Full traceability from detection to resolution.
“
Designed on the factory floor, not in a software lab. Every feature exists because a manufacturer needed it. Not because a product manager imagined it.

Your machine tool builds
deserve build-order clarity.

FalOrb is built for metalworking machinery manufacturers where precision components have limited sources, build-to-order configurations create unique BOMs, and geometric accuracy testing is the final gate. If that's your operation, let us show you what connected machine tool production looks like.
