AI and automation for UK manufacturers. Enquiries, specs and drawings turned into quotes in minutes.
TEOX builds AI and automation tools for engineering and manufacturing businesses, specifically for the work that happens before anything gets made.
Most SMEs in this sector lose more margin at the enquiry stage than anywhere on the shop floor. A customer enquiry arrives as an email, a PDF spec or a marked up drawing. Someone senior reads it, interprets it, chases the gaps, builds a bill of materials and prices it. It takes days, it happens in spreadsheets only one person understands, and the items that cost money are the out of scope ones nobody spotted on the first read.
That work can now be automated. Modern AI reads unstructured documents, so the emails, specs and drawings that defeated earlier automation are no longer a barrier. TEOX puts that capability inside tools your team actually uses.
What we build: automated enquiry and specification reading, which pulls out requirements, flags what is out of scope and lists the questions that need answering before you can quote. Automated estimating and bill of materials generation. Automated general arrangement and layout drawing generation, produced from the spec rather than redrawn by hand. Digital project and document control, giving live visibility of registers, revisions and deliverables.
How we work. A fixed price assessment comes first, so you see the hours and the cost before committing. Then we build a tool around your process and deliver it in weeks. Then we support it under our Care Ladder.
Our principle is simple: TEOX proposes, you confirm. Every output shows its working and the sentence it came from. The automation does the reading. Your engineers keep the decision. That is what makes it safe to put into a business where a wrong number is a lost contract.
Built by engineers who have run estimating, project and commercial functions in LV and HV switchgear and industrial manufacturing.
B30 Automatic Briquette Machine
The B30 machine is an automated briquetting system that converts sawdust, shavings and suitable biomass residues into consistent briquettes. Programmable process control and automatic operation help manufacturers reduce waste, improve resource efficiency and create a usable or saleable product.

Process Management
We have a very flexible process management solution which can track and control the manufacturing process in most industries,
The solution uses RFID to track the process of any individual batch of a product through any repetitive manufacturing process. As the tracking uses RFID it happens entirely in the background without human intervention.
Each manufacturing process performed in your facility is modelled in the system, and the process of each batch of that manufactured product (Bread in a bakery for instance) is managed from a central dashboard alerting operators to the batches that need to be moved to their next stage, and what that is.
