Engineer on the manufacturing floor with equipment

Manufacturing

The line keeps running—your data should keep pace.

Connect OT and IT, clean up production and quality data, and ship tools your floor teams will adopt—without stopping the line for a big-bang rewrite.

What we build for you

OT, IT, and MES in one thread

We connect historians, MES, ERP, and plant networks so events, orders, and downtime tell a single story—without forcing a rip-and-replace.

Production visibility people actually use

Dashboards, alerts, and shop-floor UX tuned for supervisors and engineers—not only for the head office.

Quality, traceability, and audit-ready data

Lineage from raw material to shipment, CAPA-friendly workflows, and reporting that holds up when regulators or customers ask questions.

Inventory and supplier signals

Near-real-time picture of what’s on hand, what’s inbound, and where the next constraint will hit—fed by systems, not spreadsheets.

Composite example

Northline Components

Fictional mid-market manufacturer of precision assemblies—used to illustrate how we structure an engagement from discovery to measurable outcomes.

Challenge

Production and quality data lived in three systems and a maze of CSV exports. Supervisors couldn’t see downtime causes in context, and customer audits meant weeks of manual trace reconstruction.

What we did

Mapped critical events from MES and ERP, stood up a governed integration layer, and shipped a role-based operations workspace with drill-down to lot and station. Piloted on two lines before broader rollout.

Outcomes (illustrative)

  • ~45% faster root-cause reporting after unplanned stops
  • Audit prep packets assembled in hours instead of days
  • Single sign-on experience for floor leads and quality techs

“We didn’t need another dashboard—we needed the same truth in operations and quality. Once the line and the back office agreed on the data, decisions got boring in the right way.”

— Director of Operations (composite persona), Northline Components
