Complex assembly, line logic,
parameter historians.
Long-cycle, high-variant assembly lives or dies on traceability and operator discipline. We instrument the line so every unit carries its own genealogy — from component to finished vehicle — and every minute of downtime has a name.
Where discrete manufacturers lose control.
Discrete and automotive plants run long, multi-station builds with hundreds of operators and thousands of parameters per hour. The pain is rarely a single machine — it is the gaps between stations, systems, and shifts where data is captured on paper, never, or too late to act on.
- 01
Manual data on long cycles
Production, quality and parameter data captured by hand across multi-hour builds — re-keyed or lost before it can drive a decision.
- 02
Fragmented OEE visibility
Machine performance lives in islands. No single, attributed view of availability, performance and quality across the line.
- 03
Weak operator task management
Complex, high-variant work without structured instructions, deviation handling, or skills/training gating at the station.
- 04
Genealogy gaps
Component-to-unit traceability is incomplete — turning a targeted recall into a fleet-wide one and a warranty claim into a guess.
The trends reshaping the shopfloor.
New processes, new traceability
EV and battery assembly introduce safety-critical parameters and cell-level genealogy that paper routines cannot carry.
High-mix, low-volume
Build-to-order and variant explosion demand line logic that adapts per unit without re-engineering the process.
Parameter historian for warranty
Tag-level data tied to unit genealogy feeds FMEA, warranty defense and continuous improvement.
Operator guidance closes the skills gap
Scarce, rotating labor means digital work instructions and at-station guidance become the productivity lever.
Reshoring & supply visibility
Nearshoring and dual-sourcing raise the bar on real-time material and component tracking.
Clean data as the foundation
Predictive quality and autonomous routing only work on a contextualized, real-time operational backbone.
Compliance is an execution problem.
Automotive carries some of the heaviest traceability and quality-record obligations in manufacturing. Each one resolves, on the shopfloor, to data that must be captured at source and queryable on demand.
Process control, full forward/backward traceability, and controlled documentation of every characteristic.
Quality captured at the station, tied to unit genealogy, with audit-ready records produced from the live data.
Cell- and pack-level genealogy, carbon and material data, and a digital passport for EV batteries.
Battery-line execution with cell traceability and parameter capture feeding the passport dataset.
Product-level data on composition, repairability and provenance, exposed through a digital passport.
Genealogy and as-built records structured so passport data is a query, not a project.
Documented, repeatable process capability and part-approval evidence for every launch.
Parameter historian and SPC built into execution — approval evidence generated, not assembled after the fact.
A production-assembly MES vertical.
We deploy MES purpose-built for discrete assembly — not a generic shell bent into shape. Line logic models the real station sequence; automatic data collection replaces clipboards; a parameter historian ties tag-level data to each unit's genealogy.
Operators get structured workflows with deviation handling and skills gating. Quality is captured at source against control characteristics, and OEE becomes a single attributed view across every line — so downtime reduction is driven by reason codes, not opinions.
