Manufacturing & production

Manufacturers run on scattered information: orders in the ERP, instructions in folders, quality data in spreadsheets and knowledge in experienced people. Meridian connects those sources in your own environment and applies AI where the work is most repetitive, with your people in charge.

The challenge

01
Orders and documents keyed in by hand
Today
Orders, specifications and delivery notes arrive by email and PDF and are entered into the ERP by hand. Errors only surface in production or invoicing.
With Meridian
Data is read from the documents, checked against your rules and staged. A member of staff only reviews what deviates.
02
Knowledge that leaves with people
Today
Experienced operators and technicians know how a machine behaves and what worked last time. That knowledge is written down nowhere, and new people are hard to find.
With Meridian
Manuals, work instructions and earlier jobs become searchable with a plain question, with a reference to the source.
03
Quality deviations that surface late
Today
Deviations are found at final inspection or by the customer. Complaints, measurements and shift reports live in separate systems, so patterns stay hidden.
With Meridian
Complaints, measurements and reports come together in one overview. Image inspection at a well-defined step can be explored as a pilot; a person reviews every flag.

What AI can do here

In the news

Print & packaging

The order is a folding carton. The file around it keeps growing.

The EU Packaging Regulation has applied since 12 August 2026, and paper and board come under the deforestation rules from 30 December 2026. For printers and packaging makers, each order brings more specifications, declarations and checks to read, match and keep.

AI regulation & business

The high-risk deadlines moved. The basics did not.

The EU has postponed the AI Act’s high-risk rules to December 2027 and August 2028. For most companies starting with AI, the questions that matter now are simpler: which system is used, for what, by whom, and who checks the result.

Technical services & knowledge

The experienced technician retires. The fix should not leave too.

Flanders’ 2026 list of bottleneck occupations again puts technical jobs near the top. When experienced people are scarce, what they know has to be findable in manuals, service reports and the history of each machine.

Administration & e-invoicing

The invoice is structured now. The work around it is not.

Since 1 January 2026, Belgian VAT-registered businesses exchange structured electronic invoices with each other. The format has changed. Matching, exceptions and the documents that arrive next to an invoice still land on someone’s desk.
