Field → Print IQ → Shop → Cut.
Field supervisors can submit measurements and prints. The shop gets the job, PRINT IQ Local reads the drawing, FAB//IQ draws a review schematic, builds an editable BOM, then optimizes stock only after approval.
Nothing releases itself
My Jobs
One place for field submissions, PRINT IQ review, shop approval, fabrication status and completed jobs.
Job information
Upload drawing
V1.8 PRINT IQ Local: DLO values cannot silently become MO dimensions. The analyzer uses multiple OCR passes, system geometry checks and shop rules, then waits for operator approval. No paid AI API is required.
MO → Frame → Cut
Submit a measured job to the shop
Measure the opening, attach the print/photo, choose the system if known, and send it. The shop gets a new-job alert. PRINT IQ Local can analyze the first attached image on the device and send the editable findings back to the shop for review.

Connection
PRINT IQ runs on-device with OCR, geometry validation and the FAB//IQ system database. The PHP backend is only used for shared My Jobs, field uploads and notifications—no paid AI key is required.
