MRP and the floor run on different schedules.
The plan assumes setup times, operator availability, and material arrivals all land as booked. When they do not, supervisors keep the real schedule on a whiteboard and in a WhatsApp group.
We build production scheduling, tool and WIP tracking, and shift workforce systems around the plant you already have — not the one a standard template assumes you run.
These are the problems we hear most often when a plant brings us in.
The plan assumes setup times, operator availability, and material arrivals all land as booked. When they do not, supervisors keep the real schedule on a whiteboard and in a WhatsApp group.
Tooling and work-in-progress travel between stations all shift with no reliable location history. When a die goes missing, finding it can take a whole morning.
Machine state, open issues, and partial runs get passed on only if someone remembers to say them. Everything else is rediscovered mid-shift, usually under pressure.
Recurring work across plants that need the floor and the system to stay aligned.
Production scheduling, inventory, procurement, and quality in one system modelled on your line layout. It connects to finance by API instead of replacing what already works there.
See ERP solutions →UHF RFID at gates and checkpoints, BLE for zone-level positioning, and GPS on mobile assets. Every tool, die, and WIP pallet gets a location and a timestamp.
See IoT Asset Management →Inspection workflows, non-conformance routing, and audit trails captured on the shop floor as work happens, rather than rebuilt later for an auditor.
See Process Automation →ERP, MES, and IoT data in one view. OEE, scrap rate, and downtime causes stay current, so last week's numbers are not a Monday surprise.
See Data & Analytics →Deploy as standard where it fits, and extend where your line needs something different.

Production, inventory, procurement, and HR on one platform, connected to the existing finance system by API and rolled out in phases rather than a single cutover weekend.
