Runs on the EquatorOps engine stack
Every embedded ops engagement, from design engineering work orders to supplier audits to compliance monitoring, runs on the same EquatorOps platform infrastructure. The work orders, quality gates, serialization, and event streams that power our operations are the same engines available to your platform. When you use our API, you are using the same endpoints that run our factory floor.
Linked work orders
Design, manufacturing, and QC work orders coordinated across NPI phases.
Quality-gated procurement
Supplier inspection gates hold release until on-site QC clears.
GSII serialization
Serialized product tracking from prototype through mass production.
Webhooks & events
Manufacturing status and compliance signals streamed to your systems.
Impact Intelligence
Preview change impact across BOMs, suppliers, and production before release.
