MES & Enterprise Integration
Live production data where decisions get made: OEE, work orders, recipes and traceability, connected to your ERP and BI tools.
Sound familiar?
Signs it's time
Paper travelers and spreadsheets
Production data is written down, typed in later, and rarely trusted.
OEE is calculated after the fact
By the time you see last week's numbers, the problem has already cost you.
ERP doesn't know what the floor did
Work orders, counts and material usage are reconciled by hand.
Traceability audits are painful
Answering "which lot went into which part?" takes days instead of minutes.
What's included
What we deliver
- OEE & downtime tracking: Live availability, performance and quality, with downtime reasons captured at the source.
- Work order management: Dispatch, queue and track work orders from release through completion.
- Recipe & batch management: Routing-based recipes and batch records, applied and verified from the HMI.
- Traceability: Digital production records linking materials, lots, equipment and operators.
- ERP, CMMS & WMS integration: REST API-driven connections to systems like SAP, IBM Maximo and Manhattan.
- Reporting & BI: Shift reports in Ignition, and clean OT data delivered to Power BI or Grafana.
- Intelligent notifications: Critical events routed by SMS, Slack or email based on shift schedules.

FAQ
Common questions
Do we need a full commercial MES suite?
Not always. Many plants get most of the value from targeted functions like OEE, work order tracking and traceability built in Ignition. We'll help you decide what makes sense for your operation.
Can you integrate with SAP or our existing ERP?
Yes. We build REST API-driven integrations so work orders flow down from ERP and production results flow back up automatically.
Can we start small?
Yes. A common approach is an OEE or work order pilot on one line, then expanding once the value is proven.
Can we see an example?
Yes. Our live demo runs work orders, recipes and OEE on a simulated injection molding line. Open it from the Live Demo link at the top of the page.
