ERP holds the record.
The plant runs on something else.
Between ERP and the machines sits a layer of spreadsheets, whiteboards and tribal knowledge. That layer is where quality, throughput and traceability are actually managed.

Where the pressure is
The problems that actually reach the board
Not a feature list. The operational realities we are usually brought in to fix.
The scheduling logic is in one person's head
Constraint-based sequencing that reflects your tooling, changeovers and labour rules rarely exists in any purchased system.
Traceability proven by archaeology
Recall or audit questions answered by assembling paper, exports and memory rather than querying a system.
Operator interfaces designed for clerks
Data capture that assumes a desk, a keyboard and clean hands — so it gets done later, badly, or not at all.
Supplier data arriving as attachments
Certificates, ASNs and quality documents handled manually, delaying receipt and hiding defect trends.
Applied model
Rent, extend, own — for this sector
The same three questions, answered against the workflows that define this industry.
Extend
Platform is 80% right
- ERP reporting and planning surfaces
- MES configuration and integration
- Supplier portal on existing platforms
- Quality module workflows
Own
Where the advantage lives
- Shop-floor data capture and operator apps
- Traceability and genealogy models
- Production scheduling logic specific to your constraints
- Yield, scrap and OEE analytics layer

Nobody sells your production constraints as a product. That is precisely why the scheduling and traceability logic belongs in the Own lane.

Where we normally start. One line or one cell: capture, traceability and a real-time view, integrated with ERP, proven on the floor before it is rolled out.
