Your production line is talking.
I translate it for management.

Services

From the machine to the database, from one hand

Not a set of separate projects: the machine signal, the server and the management report run on the same chain. That keeps the numbers current instead of back-calculated.

Production equipment and line programming

PLC programming, line commissioning, motion control and recipe handling — greenfield projects and extensions to existing systems.

Optimisation and OEE data collection

Cycle-time and loss analysis, building OEE measurement at machine signal level, with real-time feedback for the shift.

Industrial PC / PLC / SQL connection

OPC-UA, Modbus, Profinet and custom protocols interfaced to an industrial PC, writing straight into the database.

Reports and analytics

Production planning, shift and machine level reports, automated monthly and annual management summaries.

Database servers

Design, installation, indexing and performance tuning, backup strategy and continuous operation.

iOS / Android applications

Shop-floor mobile apps for downtime logging, maintenance tickets and remote machine status checks.

Downtime and maintenance tickets

Capturing reasons and reporting them back to maintenance, with a fully traceable lifecycle.

Statistics from maintenance tickets

Recurring faults, MTTR and availability analysis — decision support for improvements.

Approach

Four steps to a measurable plant

The work starts on the production line and ends with the management report. No stage is handed over to someone else — the program, the server and the application all come from the same hand.

Data security

All data stays on the company's own infrastructure. No external cloud dependency, solutions running on your own SQL server.

  1. 01

    Assessment at the machine

    We walk the line: what can be measured today, what is missing, where the time is lost. Written findings and a priority order.

  2. 02

    Building the connection

    Extending the PLC program, OPC-UA / industrial PC interfacing, so signals arrive clean and time-stamped.

  3. 03

    Database and server

    Data model, server installation, indexing and backup. The collected data is stored in a structured, queryable form.

  4. 04

    Reports and apps

    Technical and management reports, a mobile app for downtime logging. Live operation with ongoing support.

Partners

What the shift and the management say

These are not numbers measured in a showroom: they come from live plants where machine signals, the database and the reports run on one chain.

    Faster reporting

  • Until then we only saw the lines at the end of the shift. Now we see where we stand at the machine, and the management report builds itself.
