Build hardware
at the speed of software.
Carbon is the engineering-first operating system for manufacturers. Quote, plan, buy, build, inspect and ship on one live model of your factory — from a ten-person prototype shop to a rate-production line.
CAD to cash, unbroken.
Every stage writes to the same record. No handoffs, no re-keying, no reconciliation.
Unfork your BOM.
Parameterize the part, not the paperwork. Rules drive the bill of materials, the routing, the price before you quote it.
The floor, live to the second.
Every part, hour, barcode, and deviation tracked and handled in real-time.
Traceability is the default state.
First article inspection, non-conformance, CAPA and gauge calibration sit on the same records as production. Pull any serial number and get its full genealogy — material certs, operators, measurements, deviations.
Every site on one ledger.
Carbon allows you to a scale from a single-entity, single-location operation, to a multi-national, multi-location manufacturing engine with consolidated accounts.
Legacy ERPs were built for accountants in the 1990s.
- Based on assumptions
- Shortages found on the floor
- Costing guessed after the fact
- Revisions lost in email
- No serial-level history
- Audits reconstructed from memory
- Accounting-focused
- 18-month implementation
- Huge consulting bills
- BOMs re-keyed by hand
- Traveler printed at 6am, stale by 9
- Quality in a separate binder
- Manufacturing-focused, GAAP accounting
- Everything integrated
- Live in weeks
- API-first, with first-class MCP
- Full traceability and COGS
- Audit trail is the database
Four systems, one schema. Nothing to integrate.
If it has a bill of materials, Carbon runs it.
Regulated or not, one-off or rate production — the primitives are the same. The configuration is yours.
Auditable by construction.
Immutable ledgers, granular permissions, and the controls regulated programs are held to.

I'm deciding whether Carbon would be the approach for my manufacturing business. Download the repo https://github.com/crbnos/carbon and do an audit of the capabilities. Then interview me about my manufacturing process, goals, and tools I use. Finish with 3-5 specific things Carbon could do for me.
