Real-time visibility on a factory floor that still runs on paper.
MES, OEE tracking, and shop-floor agents for manufacturers whose SAP modules cover planning but stop at the cell door. Built for production environments where supervisors still compile downtime reports by hand.
Volume grows. Headcount doesn't.
Mid-market manufacturers frequently run ERP and spreadsheets — and nothing in between. Production data lives on paper shift reports, in operator heads, and in Excel. OEE is calculated weekly, not watched live. Root cause of downtime is argued in meetings rather than visible in data.
Four patterns we deploy repeatedly.
Touch-screen interfaces at each cell for operators to capture output, downtime, and scrap. Live integration back to SAP Production Orders. Digital SOPs and drawings at the point of work.
Availability, performance, quality, labour efficiency — calculated live, visible on floor displays and supervisor tablets.
MQTT and OPC-UA from CNC, PLC, and legacy plant. Mixed fleets handled.
Replaces the ECN-by-email nightmare with a central system showing every change, every approver, every status, with audit trail.
Early-stage: agents that analyse downtime patterns, suggest scheduling changes, and flag anomalies from machine signals before they become failures.
Pre-built when it fits. Bespoke when it doesn't.
