Fabritec now supports integration with AI assistants such as Claude AI and ChatGPT using MCP-based connections.

This integration allows users to ask questions about their Fabritec data using natural language and receive answers based on their own Fabritec account permissions.

With this feature, users can summarize production progress, review project status, check QC activity, analyze shipping readiness, prepare management summaries, and generate clearer operational updates faster.

Fabritec remains the source of truth.
AI assistants help users interact with approved Fabritec data more easily.

What Is the AI Integration?

The AI integration allows Fabritec to connect with external AI assistants through an MCP connection.

MCP acts as a secure bridge between the AI assistant and Fabritec.
It allows the AI assistant to use approved Fabritec tools to retrieve operational information based on the connected user’s permissions.

Fabritec currently supports:

Claude AI through a custom connector

ChatGPT through Apps

Each user connects using their own Fabritec account.
The AI assistant will only answer based on the permissions available to that user inside Fabritec.

Why This Feature Matters

Fabritec centralizes project, production, QC, revision, document, and shipping data in one execution platform.

AI integration makes it easier to ask questions about this data without manually moving between multiple pages, reports, dashboards, or tracking screens.

Instead of opening several modules to check progress, users can ask questions such as:

What is the current production status?

Which projects are delayed?

Which items are waiting for QC?

Which phases are ready for shipping?

What are the main bottlenecks today?

Which items are in the shipping yard but not dispatched?

Can you prepare a management summary?

Can you create a customer update from the latest project progress?

This reduces manual follow-up and helps teams understand operational status faster.

What You Can Use AI Integration For

After connecting Fabritec with Claude AI or ChatGPT, users can use AI to support daily operational work.

Common use cases include:

Summarizing project progress

Reviewing production status by project, phase, stage, or item

Checking delayed or pending items

Summarizing QC inspection results

Reviewing rework records

Checking shipping readiness

Preparing management summaries

Generating customer update drafts

Comparing active projects

Turning operational data into clear action points

Asking questions about Fabritec data without searching manually

The AI assistant does not replace Fabritec workflows.
It helps users understand and work with Fabritec information faster.

Part 1: Connecting Fabritec with Claude AI

How Claude AI Integration Works

Claude connects to Fabritec through a custom connector.

The user adds Fabritec as a connector inside Claude, enters the Fabritec system URL with /mcp added at the end, then authorizes Claude to access Fabritec using their Fabritec account.

Once connected, Claude can answer questions using the Fabritec data available to that user.

Who Can Connect Fabritec with Claude?

Any Fabritec user can connect their account with Claude if connectors are available in their Claude account.

This can also work with Claude’s free plan, depending on connector availability.

The answers provided by Claude depend on the connected Fabritec account permissions.

For example:

A production user will only receive production data they are allowed to access.

A QC user will only receive QC data available to their role.

A project manager will only see the projects available to their Fabritec account.

A shipping user will only receive shipping information they are allowed to access.

An admin user may receive broader answers depending on assigned permissions.

Claude does not bypass Fabritec permissions.

How Permissions Work

Claude and ChatGPT do not receive open access to all Fabritec data.

Each AI assistant answers based on the Fabritec account used during the connection.

This means:

Users only receive answers based on their Fabritec permissions.

Restricted modules remain restricted.

Project access follows the user’s Fabritec role.

Production data visibility follows Fabritec permissions.

QC data visibility follows Fabritec permissions.

Shipping data visibility follows Fabritec permissions.

Reports and dashboards visibility follow Fabritec permissions.

If a user cannot access specific data inside Fabritec, the AI assistant should not provide that data.

For example:

If a user cannot access shipping data inside Fabritec, Claude or ChatGPT should not provide shipping data for that user.

This keeps AI usage aligned with Fabritec’s permission structure.

Important Notes

Each user connects using their own Fabritec account.

The AI assistant answers according to the connected user’s Fabritec permissions.

For Claude, Fabritec is added from Customize → Connectors → Add custom connector.

For ChatGPT, Fabritec is added from Settings → Apps → Create app.

For ChatGPT, Developer mode must be enabled before creating the app.

The Fabritec connector or app URL must end with /mcp.

If the user is not signed in to Fabritec, they will be asked to sign in before authorizing access.

Claude can be connected by any user if connectors are available in their Claude account.

Claude connection can work even with the free plan, depending on connector availability.

AI assistants help explain and summarize data, but official actions remain inside Fabritec.

Fabritec remains the source of truth for project, production, QC, revision, and shipping data.

What AI Assistants Can Help With

AI assistants can help users understand Fabritec data faster, but they do not replace Fabritec workflows.

They can help with:

Reading and summarizing available data

Answering operational questions

Preparing summaries

Highlighting risks

Explaining production status

Identifying delayed items

Grouping QC issues

Reviewing shipping readiness

Drafting customer updates

Preparing management reports

They should not be used as a replacement for official system actions.

What Must Still Be Done Inside Fabritec

AI assistants do not replace official Fabritec transactions.

The following actions must still be completed inside Fabritec:

Approving revisions

Rejecting revisions

Updating production progress

Approving or rejecting QC inspections

Recording rework actions

Creating dispatches

Confirming shipping

Managing user permissions

Updating project data

Uploading official documents

Changing system settings

AI assistants support understanding and analysis.
Fabritec remains the official execution system.

Best Practices for Asking Questions

To get better answers, ask clear and specific questions.

Instead of asking:

What is happening?

Ask:

Summarize production progress for Project A, grouped by phase, and highlight delayed items.

Instead of asking:

Is shipping okay?

Ask:

List all items currently in the shipping yard that are not assigned to a dispatch.

Instead of asking:

Give me a report.

Ask:

Create a management summary for this week’s production, QC, and shipping activity.

Instead of asking:

What is delayed?

Ask:

Show delayed items by project, phase, and current production stage.

Clear questions produce clearer answers.
