Tool 01
Flowstate Atlas
Map a process. Get the engineering. Shaped to your factory.
How the walkthrough works
An engineer walks through 14 observation sections. The inference engine calculates efficiency, constraint signals, cost of loss, and generates the improvement plan automatically.
What the engine produces
Process Cycle Efficiency
VA time as % of total lead time
Capacity vs Demand Gap
Units of constraint headroom
Cost of Loss
Rand-quantified across 6 cost lanes
Improvement Plan
Prioritised matrix with ROI per action
Tracking
Log key metrics per shift. Dashboards show trends, targets vs actuals, and whether improvements are holding.
Analysis layer
Every figure shows its formula, inputs, and confidence rating. An AI layer generates diagnostic narratives, root cause analysis, and an executive briefing. A chat interface answers questions about the specific process.
NO AI ESTIMATES. ENGINEERING FORMULAS ONLY.
Atlas Services
No two factories run the same Atlas.
Every account is unique. Three services shape Atlas to your operation — from a single process diagnosis through to a fully commissioned factory floor.
01
Process Health Check
Know exactly what your factory costs you.
A Flowstate engineer walks your floor through a 14-section observation. Every process timed, every loss calculated in Rand. You receive a full engineering report with cycle efficiency, constraint, cost of loss, and a prioritised improvement plan within five working days.

Cost of loss in Rand per process
Constraint and takt analysis
Prioritised improvement plan with ROI
02
Atlas Commissioning
Your whole factory in Atlas. Every process. Running.
A full end-to-end commissioning engagement. Every process on your floor mapped, costed and live in your Atlas account. Your team trained until they can find your biggest loss in three clicks and log a shift unaided. Quoted per factory.
Full factory mapped with measured cycle times
Cost of loss in Rand across every process
Product lines, targets and shift tracking live
Team trained to owner and supervisor level
03
Custom Build
New functionality engineered into your Atlas account.
Need a job tracker, a planning board, a quality capture module, or a customer report that runs itself? A Flowstate engineer scopes and builds exactly what your operation needs. Fixed price, written acceptance criteria, delivered into your own Atlas account.

Tool 02
Automated Data Collection & Live Monitoring
See your factory in real time.
Data pipeline architecture
Sensors, PLCs, SCADA and ERP feed a single normalised data store. Operators add downtime reasons via tablet. All streams converge in live dashboards.

Why it matters
The data collected here does two things: it validates what the Process Mapper identified during the walkthrough, and it tracks whether improvement projects are holding across shifts over time. You own the data. The system is built to remain usable after handover.
Tool 03
On-Site Engineering
The work the tools can't do remotely.
Improvement project structure
Every project is baselined before any change. Improvement is implemented on the floor and measured in the same data system. The Process Mapper is updated to reflect the new operating state.
What a project looks like
Baseline captured
Before any change is made
Root cause confirmed
Machine data, not assumption
Improvement implemented
On the floor by a Flowstate engineer
Before/after measured
In the same data system
Process map updated
New operating state becomes the baseline
