Newline
“For a component we have not yet made, which machines, stations and layout hit the required volume and quality — and what will it cost?”
Available module
What it does
Automotive programmes are quoted against tight targets and long commitments, often within days of a drawing. Newline takes the component’s specification and a plain-English process description, parses it into ordered stages, scores candidate machines transparently against each stage, and simulates the resulting line for throughput, utilisation, work-in-progress and headcount.
Capabilities
Inside Newline
Plain-English process parsing
Describe how the part is made in a sentence; Newline turns it into an editable, ordered stage sequence.
Scored machine recommendations
Every stage is matched against an equipment catalogue and scored 0–100% for applicability, with full specs shown.
Process flow and line KPIs
Stages linked to chosen machines, with throughput, headcount and WIP per station — bottlenecks found on paper, not on the floor.
Digital twin dashboard
Simulated telemetry — utilisation, cycle time, machine status — surfaces problems before a part is produced.
Digital thread and report
Component, parameters, process definition and selected machines traced end to end, rolled into a printable PDF report.
Built for teams
Admin, sales, RFP-prep and production roles, plus a sales dashboard tracking every RFP by stage.
