02 · WHAT WE DO

We work every ISA-95 level
from the PLC to the ERP.

We work across the full ISA-95 stack — from PLC connectivity to plant-level MES/MOM execution and ERP integration. Our shop floor digitalization programs cover OT/IT integration, traceability, OEE improvement, and paperless manufacturing — focused toward execution and adoption.

01

MES/MOM Strategy & Roadmap

Current-state diagnostics, maturity assessment, lighthouse-factory selection, wave planning, value-case framing.

Solution Design & Requirements Engineering

Functional and integration requirements, master-data design, KPI definition, template strategy, governance mapping.

03 CORE PRACTICE

Platform Implementation & Industrial Integration

MES/MOM implementation on TrakSYS or AquiWeb, PLC connectivity via OPC UA and MQTT, ERP integration, SCADA integration, LIMS/WMS/CMMS integration — system interoperability across the full ISA-95 stack. Commissioning, validation, and hypercare.

03 · INDUSTRIES

Sector depth.

Every sector has its own operational grammar — recipes, lots, line logic, traceability rules. We bring patterns that survived contact with real shopfloors.

01

Automotive & Discrete Manufacturing

Caetano Bus INAPAL Metal SERRATEC
PAIN Complex assembly lines with manual data collection, fragmented real-time visibility, weak traceability systems, and poor OEE attribution across stations.
APPROACH Production-assembly MES vertical: line logic, automatic data collection, parameter historian, and structured operator workflows.
View sector →
02

Dairy & Food

Lactogal
PAIN Recipe and batch operations spanning multiple sites with disconnected lab data and inconsistent traceability across product families.
APPROACH Recipe operations, LIMS integration, end-to-end traceability, paperless manufacturing execution, digital quality control, and corporate templates organized by product family.
View sector →
03

Cork, Paper & Forest Products

Corticeira Amorim
PAIN Multi-site lot control and genealogy spread across paper-driven processes — fragile, opaque, hard to standardize.
APPROACH Single-instance multi-site MOM deployment on TrakSYS — paperless manufacturing execution, lot genealogy, real-time visibility, and global governance.
View sector →
04

Packaging for Consumer Goods

Colep PK IMTO
PAIN Multi-machine packaging lines with high scrap rates, poor OEE visibility, downtime attribution gaps, and weak operator task structuring.
APPROACH Complex line modeling, scrap attribution, operator task management, and CCP-grade quality workflows.
View sector →
05

Construction-as-Manufacturing

PAIN Prefabrication and modular production environments where shop-floor discipline lags traditional manufacturing.
APPROACH Modular production execution, takt-based line modeling, and Lean/Kaizen routines carried over from manufacturing.

05 · AI-FIRST OPERATIONS

Your MES is what makes
AI on the shopfloor possible.

Models need contextualized events: equipment hierarchy, loss reasons, lot genealogy, order context. We build that during the MES implementation, so the AI work later has something real to run on.

HONESTY CLAUSE · Predictive maintenance and advanced analytics are a maturing capability stack. Real value requires client-specific assessment of the operational data backbone.
01
Continuous monitoring
Signals that update as the shift runs.
02
Issue prioritization
Losses ranked by minutes lost this shift.
03
Insight extraction
Automated, contextualized, and shopfloor-readable.
04
Root-cause analysis
Traced back to equipment, order and lot in the master-data model.
05
Decision support
Recommendations operators can act on in their flow.
06 · DELIVERY MODEL

Discovery → Pilot → Waves → Optimize.

Enterprise programs fail when they're scoped wrong on day one. We design before we build, prove it on one lighthouse site, then scale in waves across geographies and product families.

PHASE 01 4–8 WEEKS

Discovery & Design

Map current-state operations and design the target architecture, MES template, and success criteria before a line of config is written.

  • Current-state assessment
  • Target architecture
  • Solution design
  • Success criteria
PHASE 02 ~12 WEEKS

Pilot / Lighthouse Factory

First site selected for representativeness, complexity, readiness, and replication potential — the template proven in production.

  • Site selection criteria
  • Reference architecture
  • Local template
  • Hypercare to steady-state
PHASE 03 N WAVES

Wave-Based Rollout

Scale across geographies and product families with a global template that survives local divergence.

  • Wave planning
  • Template + local config
  • Site-readiness gates
  • Knowledge transfer
CONTINUOUS PROGRAM

Continuous Improvement & Support

Steering, solution architecture, OT/IT support and change management continue after go-live, with named owners and a monthly cadence.

  • Process optimization
  • Steering & PMO
  • OT/IT & support
  • Change & adoption
DE-RISK BY DESIGN You get the program structure, gates and wave plan in writing before build starts.
