WHAT WE DO

Five service lines.
One operational backbone.

We work 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. Every engagement produces tangible artifacts: master-data designs, KPI catalogues, OPC UA mappings, commissioning plans, hypercare runbooks.

01
STRATEGY

MES/MOM Strategy & Roadmap

Where most digital programs go wrong: scoping the wrong site first, sizing the value case wrong, ignoring readiness. We start with the diagnostic.

Current-state diagnostic

Operational maturity assessment across plants, lines, and processes. Honest read on what's ready and what isn't.

Lighthouse-factory selection

We score every candidate plant on complexity, connectivity, readiness, and how well its template will replicate.

Wave planning

How to get from one site live to N sites live without losing template integrity.

Value-case framing

What this program is worth, articulated in operational terms an Operations Director will defend.

02
DESIGN

Solution Design & Requirements Engineering

Master data is where MES programmes overrun. Get equipment hierarchy or lot logic wrong and every integration built after it inherits the error.

Functional & integration requirements

Everything documented to the level needed for a robust build.

Master-data design

Equipment hierarchy, materials, BOMs, recipes and lot logic, modeled to ISA-95 Level 3 object definitions.

KPI definition

A written formula and source system for every KPI, so two plants can't compute OEE differently.

Template strategy

Which objects belong to the global core, and which each site is allowed to configure.

03
CORE PRACTICE

Platform Implementation & Industrial Integration

The work that earns the trust of plant teams. 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 included.

Platform implementation

From template to live site. Configured, tested, commissioned — on TrakSYS or AquiWeb.

Machine connectivity

OPC UA, MQTT, legacy protocols. PLCs and historians integrated to L3.

Enterprise integration

SAP, Microsoft Dynamics and Oracle already delivered. Orders in, confirmations and genealogy out.

Commissioning & hypercare

We stay until the site runs without us. Not before.

04
OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE

Operational Excellence Enablement

Software alone doesn't move OEE. We build the routines around it: the loss tree operators actually fill in, the quality hold that blocks a release, the shift review that runs off yesterday's data.

OEE & loss intelligence

Loss tree from machine to plant, attributed at the moment the stop happens.

Digital quality workflows

CCP, holds, releases, deviations — tied to production execution.

Traceability & genealogy

Lot, batch, serial. Forward and backward, in seconds.

Plan-execution synchronization

Schedule meets reality without manual reconciliation.

05
AI & TRANSFORMATION

Enterprise Digital Transformation & AI Strategy

AI needs contextualized production data, and most plants don't have it yet. We assess what your event, genealogy and master data can actually support, then build only what it supports. If the answer is that you need two more years of clean data first, we'll say that.

Digital maturity diagnostic

A written read on which of your data sets are ready for analytics and which aren't.

Future-state operating model

What roles, routines, and tools change when AI is embedded in operations.

AI-powered operations

Decision support, root-cause analysis, contextualized insight extraction.

Predictive maintenance

Scoped only for assets where the failure cost and the sensor data both justify it.

FAQ · COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently asked
questions.

Which MES platforms do you implement?

We implement two MES/MOM platforms: TrakSYS by Parsec, for larger and more complex enterprises, and AquiWeb by Astree, for the European mid-market. We hold Parsec Strategic Partner status. We're platform-independent — we recommend the right fit for your operation, and on everything around the MES — SCADA, ERP, LIMS, WMS, CMMS, historians — we integrate with whatever your existing landscape requires.

What is the difference between MES and MOM?

MES (Manufacturing Execution System) is the classic term for the system that manages shopfloor execution in real time. MOM (Manufacturing Operations Management) is the broader ISA-95 term that covers execution, quality, maintenance, and inventory management at Level 3. In practice, modern platforms like TrakSYS and AquiWeb deliver both — we use the terms interchangeably when scoping engagements.

Do you integrate MES with SAP and other ERP systems?

Yes. ERP integration is a core part of every engagement — production orders in, confirmations and lot genealogy out. We have delivered SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, and Oracle integrations. The integration contract is defined during the Design phase and built bidirectionally against the master-data model.

Do you support multi-site MES rollouts?

Multi-site rollout is our core capability — it is what gave Kaizen Tech its name. We design a global template at the lighthouse site, then deploy it in structured waves across geographies and business units under formal change control. Our flagship engagement (Corticeira Amorim) runs 25+ sites on a single shared TrakSYS instance.

How long does an MES implementation take?

A lighthouse factory deployment typically runs 10–14 weeks from kick-off to steady-state — Discovery (2–3 weeks), Design (3–4 weeks), Build (4–6 weeks), and Deploy (2–3 weeks). Subsequent wave sites are faster because the template is proven. Actual duration depends on connectivity complexity, master-data state, and integration scope — our Discovery phase tells you which.

How do you choose between TrakSYS and AquiWeb?

We match the platform to your scale, complexity, integration depth, and timeline. TrakSYS suits larger, complex, multi-site enterprises; AquiWeb suits the European mid-market. On everything around the MES — SCADA, ERP, LIMS, WMS, CMMS, and historians — we are vendor-pragmatic. Our value is the architecture, integration discipline, and adoption methodology, not the platform license, so the recommendation is made on fit, not allegiance.
