Superkind for plastics manufacturing

In plastics manufacturing every tool and every batch comes with documentation: updating tool data, tracking batches, creating inspection reports, notifying customers. You hand this work to Superkinds. You describe it once in Slack, Teams or by email, they do it in your tools, and nothing goes out before you approve it.

Every example is set at Schneider GmbH, a made-up company
