Senior AI & Automation Specialist · Canada & USA
El Moustapha Ajouad bridges the gap between machines, ERP/MRP systems, and AI for manufacturers across Canada and the USA. From connecting CNC machines and PLCs to building RAG-powered knowledge systems and end-to-end automation pipelines — I help you turn shop floor reality into operational intelligence.

Operational Pain Points
These operational constraints cost you time, money, and competitive edge. If you recognize even one, there's a clear path forward.
The impact:
Solution:
IIoT-based machine connectivity — real-time data collection even from legacy equipment. OEE dashboards with actionable insights in weeks, not months.
The impact:
Solution:
AI-assisted quoting powered by real production data. Intelligent document processing to extract RFQ details automatically and feed them into your planning system.
The impact:
Solution:
Optimize your existing ERP/MRP before adding new tools. Build automation pipelines that eliminate double entry and make your current investment work harder.
The impact:
Solution:
End-to-end integration pipelines that connect your entire stack. Order-to-production, invoice-to-payment, quote-to-schedule — automated.
The impact:
Solution:
LLM-powered document classification and data extraction. Incoming documents automatically sorted, routed, and processed — context-aware intelligence, not keyword matching.
Five strategic pillars
Each service reinforces the others — from the shop floor to the executive dashboard.
Shop floor visibility starts with connected machines. Real-time data collection from CNC, PLC, and legacy equipment via MQTT, OPC UA, and retrofit sensors. Centralized dashboards for OEE, cycle times, downtime tracking, and predictive maintenance alerts. Works with your existing equipment — no rip-and-replace required.
Turn your accumulated operational data — work orders, quality records, maintenance logs, engineering specs — into searchable, actionable intelligence. Custom RAG systems connect LLMs to your proprietary data so teams get precise, source-cited answers instead of searching through file shares and tribal knowledge.
LLM-powered systems that automatically sort, route, and extract data from incoming documents: RFQs, invoices, shipping notices, quality certs, customer emails. Context-aware classification that understands manufacturing terminology and your business processes.
Eliminate manual handoffs between ERP/MRP, accounting (QuickBooks), CRM, shop floor systems, and administrative tools. Purpose-built workflows that sync data across your entire stack — order-to-production, invoice-to-payment, quote-to-schedule.
Move from backward-looking reports to forward-looking intelligence. Real-time dashboards, capacity planning models, demand forecasting, anomaly detection, and KPI monitoring with automated alerts — built for plant managers and executives who need to act, not just observe.
Why work with me
Hands-on experience in CNC machining, electric motors, steel structures, and electromechanical systems — combined with AI/ML and system integration capabilities. I understand both the noise and constraints of the production floor AND the capabilities of modern AI.
Not theoretical concepts — systems designed for the real world of manufacturing.
1. Listen to your pain points and operational frustrations
2. Rapid diagnosis — no 50-page reports
3. Small iterative steps with quick wins in weeks, not months
4. Prove ROI before scaling
"A simple automation that works is worth more than a complex system gathering dust."
Today: IIoT connectivity, data collection, and workflow automation. Dashboards for informed decisions.
Tomorrow: Computer vision for defect detection, predictive maintenance, AI-optimized scheduling, and conversational AI assistants for technicians. Every connected machine today lays the foundation for tomorrow's AI capabilities.
Step by step
A practical conversation about your operational challenges and technology landscape. You'll get an honest assessment of where AI, IIoT, or automation could have the highest impact. No obligation.
Walk the shop floor, audit systems, map data flows and pain points. Talk to operators, supervisors, and management. Result: clear diagnosis with 2–3 high-impact opportunities and estimated ROI.
Prioritized action plan with first measurable results in under 4 weeks. Start small, validate ROI, then scale. Transparent budget and timeline.
2–4 week sprints, hands-on training so your team becomes self-sufficient. Real production testing, continuous adjustments. The goal: you own the system, not the consultant.
