The shop floor is usually the place that generates the most data and captures the least. The information exists: it is in the operator's head, in the supervisor's notebook, in the spreadsheet someone fills in at the end of the shift. The problem is that it arrives too late to change anything.
Where the operation usually gets stuck
Reporting at the end of the shift
Data that arrives hours later is good for a report, not for a reaction. The downtime has already cost what it was going to cost.
Downtime with no recorded cause
Without classifying the reason for downtime, there is no way to prioritize maintenance or justify an investment.
Fragile traceability
When a customer questions a batch, reconstructing the path of the raw material by hand can take days.
OEE nobody calculates
Without measuring availability, performance and quality, any efficiency gain remains an estimate.
What we build to solve it
Reporting at the point of work
A simple terminal at the workstation: start, finish, quantity and reason for downtime recorded as they happen.
OEE per machine and shift
Availability, performance and quality calculated automatically, with a Pareto chart of downtime causes.
Batch traceability
A link between the raw material batch, the production order and the shipping invoice, searchable in seconds.
ERP integration
Production orders and material consumption kept in sync, with no double entry.
How the project runs
The path is the same for every industry, and it starts by understanding before proposing:
- Assessment: we map systems, processes and bottlenecks. You understand the problem before seeing any technical proposal.
- Development: short deliveries with constant validation, so you see results before the project ends.
- Rollout: controlled migration and team training, so that switching systems does not stop the operation.
- Evolution: follow-up and adjustment as the operation grows.

The assessment is free and commits you to nothing. We learn the context of your operation and show what makes sense, even if the answer is to do nothing right now.
