Manufacturing
From whiteboards to live production data.
Shop-floor apps, machine monitoring, quality tracking and ERP integration for manufacturers who still run part of the plant on paper.
What Manufacturing teams tell usSolved
- “Production status lived on a whiteboard”
- “Breakdowns always came as a surprise”
- “Quality records were paper in a binder”
- “Supplier updates arrived by email”
Built for the standards you answer to
- ISO 9001Quality management
- IEC 62443Industrial security
- ISO 27001Info security
- 21 CFR Part 11Electronic records
- OPC UAMachine data
- GDPREU data protection
Why it is hard
What makes Manufacturing software different
Six things we plan for on every manufacturing project, before a single screen is designed.
The floor is not an office
Gloves, noise, shared tablets and patchy Wi-Fi. Tools must work with big buttons, barcodes and no signal.
What we actually do
- We test on the floor, with gloves, in real noise
- Offline-first: data saved locally and synced when Wi-Fi returns
- Big buttons, barcode scanning and minimal typing
Machines of every age
A new CNC talks OPC UA, a twenty-year-old press talks nothing. Data has to come from both.
What we actually do
- Gateways that read OPC UA, Modbus or simple sensors
- Older machines retrofitted with low-cost sensors
- All data in one live view, whatever the machine age
The ERP is the source of truth
Orders, stock and costs live in the ERP. New tools must feed it cleanly, not replace it.
What we actually do
- Two-way ERP sync through supported APIs only
- No changes to your ERP core
- Clear error queue when the ERP rejects a record
Machines that fail without warning
Unplanned downtime on one line can stop an entire plant and miss shipments.
What we actually do
- Sensor data collected from PLCs and machines
- Alerts on vibration and temperature trends
- Maintenance work orders created automatically
Quality issues found too late
Defects caught at final inspection mean scrapped batches and costly rework.
What we actually do
- In-line quality checks logged per batch
- Defect photos and causes captured at the station
- Traceability from raw material to shipped order
ERP numbers nobody trusts
Shop-floor counts are typed in at the end of a shift, so the ERP never matches reality.
What we actually do
- Tablet or scanner capture at each station
- Real-time sync with SAP, Oracle or NetSuite
- Daily variance report for supervisors

Problems we solve
Real problems, and what we built
The kind of day-to-day problems manufacturing teams bring to us, and how we typically solve them.
Supervisors walked the floor to find out which jobs were running, and the office only knew at the end of the shift.
A tablet app at each station to scan a job, log start, stop, quantity and scrap, which works offline and syncs to the ERP.
Planners see live job status from their desk, and output is recorded once instead of on paper and again in the office.

Machines failed without warning, stopping a line until a part arrived.
Sensors and controller data streamed to a dashboard, with alerts when temperature, vibration or cycle time drift from normal.
Maintenance gets warning signs early, so more repairs are planned instead of urgent.
OPC UA / MQTTTime-series databaseAnomaly alerts
Inspection sheets were filled in by hand, so tracing a faulty batch meant searching through binders.
Digital inspection checklists with photos and measurements, linked to each batch and lot number.
A batch can be traced in seconds, and audit preparation takes hours instead of days.
Digital formsPhoto captureLot traceability
Purchase-order confirmations and delivery dates came in by email and were typed into the ERP.
A supplier portal where suppliers confirm orders and delivery dates, with AI reading the emails from those who do not use it.
Buyers see confirmed dates in the ERP automatically, and late deliveries are spotted early.
