INDUSTRY · MANUFACTURING & INDUSTRIAL

The factory floor runs on software
you should own.

ERP, MES, SCADA integrations, maintenance, quality — complex, expensive, and locked to vendors whose release cycle was set for the median customer rather than your line. You do not have to start by replacing a layer. Start beside it.

Why this domain exists

Your line is specific.
Every product you run on it is not.

Manufacturing software is bought in layers and each layer is priced, released and supported for someone else's plant. Three forces, none accidental.

Manufacturing runs on layered software — ERP for the office, MES on the plant floor, SCADA at the equipment, quality systems for the audit. Every layer is a vendor contract and every integration between them is a fragile pipe that costs more to maintain than the systems it joins.

The roadmap is not your roadmap

SAP PP, Oracle Manufacturing, Infor — release cycles are set for the median customer, not your production environment. Every customisation you need today becomes an upgrade problem later.

Priced per seat, per line

Per-seat licensing on a shop floor is a charge on growth. Every new line, every new operator and every new site is another line item on the same invoice.

The integration is the debt

ERP to MES to SCADA to quality — the layer joining the vendor systems costs more to keep alive than the systems it joins, and it is the first thing that breaks when any one of them upgrades.

STAGE 01Ignite

Start with something the line has never had.

New agents beside the systems already running the plant. Nothing retired, nothing migrated — every vendor layer keeps doing what it does today. Confidence starts here, in weeks.

Predictive maintenance agent

Reads the sensor signal off equipment you already instrument, surfaces the alert to the engineer who owns the asset, and routes the work order into the system you already run.

Runs on your own sensor and maintenance data

Quality-inspection agent

Vision and process data read together against your own defect definitions, with root-cause candidates and corrective actions drafted for your quality team to accept or reject.

Built on your own defect definitions and process data

Shift-handover agent

Turns the line's own events, alarms and open work into one handover brief for the incoming shift, written in the vocabulary your supervisors already use.

Reads your existing plant event and work-order records

STAGE 02Reforge

The estate you already own, rebuilt AI-native.

The integration layer, the quality record and the planning logic your team wrote: paid for outright, still maintained. Same logic, modern substrate, every decision traceable — every line yours.

Product categories are the ones you already run. What comes out the other side is yours — source, models, data and pipeline, transferred on commit one.

Integration-layer rebuild

The pipes between ERP, MES, SCADA and quality rebuilt as one owned layer, so an upgrade in any one system stops being a project in all four.

Rebuilt across the plant systems you already operate

Quality ledger rebuild

Every inspection, deviation and corrective action logged with the sign-off attached, so an audit is a view your quality lead opens rather than a fortnight of assembling evidence.

Rebuilt against your own quality process

Planning-logic rebuild

The scheduling rules your planners wrote and maintain by hand, rebuilt as a pipeline they edit directly — reading your own ERP data and producing a plan they can interrogate and override.

Rebuilt against your own planning rules and ERP data

Coverage

Six layers. The same pattern in each.

Manufacturing software is bought in layers, so that is where the licence bites. These are the layers we work in, and what the pattern looks like inside each.

Planning & scheduling
  • Demand and production planning on your own history
  • Scheduling rules your planners edit rather than raise tickets for
  • Plans you can interrogate and override, line by line
Plant execution (MES)
  • Work orders, routings and operator instructions as owned workflow
  • Line performance visible without a per-seat licence
  • Changes made at the pace your line changes
Equipment & SCADA integration
  • Sensor and controller data into a pipeline you own
  • Equipment signals joined to the work they belong to
  • No fragile pipe between two vendors' release cycles
Maintenance
  • Condition signals turned into alerts the asset owner receives
  • Work-order routing into the system you already run
  • Maintenance history as an owned record, not a vendor export
Quality & compliance
  • Defect detection against your own definitions
  • Root cause and corrective action drafted for your team to approve
  • Audit evidence continuous rather than assembled
The integration layer
  • One owned layer instead of four vendor-to-vendor pipes
  • Upgrades in one system stop becoming projects in the rest
  • The interface contracts are yours to read and change
STAGE 03Liberate

The modules come out. The line keeps running.

Liberation is earned, not sold. By the time we replace a module the plant depends on, your operators have watched us build. Then the per-seat licence stops pricing new lines.

The licence ledger

Illustrative

The commercial shape of a manufacturing stack, as a buyer reads it

Basis of charge
Per seat, per line, per site, per module. Four layers of software, each charged on its own basis and renewed on its own cycle.
Growth condition
A new line or a new site is additive across every layer at once. Consolidation rarely removes the same lines before the term ends.
Customisation condition
The changes your line needs sit outside the standard release, so the work you paid for once you maintain again at every upgrade.
On exit
Routings, planning rules and quality definitions sit inside the vendors' schemas — not in an asset you hold.
Cost of staying————

Shape only — the direction of travel, not a quantity. Your own curve comes from your own renewal schedule.

Illustrative. This is our reading of a commercial pattern common to manufacturing software, not a quotation from any vendor agreement — no contract text, no clause references, no figures.

Owned planning engine

Demand forecasting and production scheduling rebuilt on your own data and your own rules, replacing the planning module whose release cycle was set for a plant that is not yours.

Replaces the ERP planning module in use on your line

Owned quality system

Detection, root cause and corrective action as one system you hold, so the audit trail and the definitions behind it stop being licensed back to you.

Replaces the licensed quality platform

Plant execution on your stack

Work orders, routings and operator instructions rebuilt as services on your own data, until the MES is a system of reference rather than the system of record.

Replaces the plant-floor execution layer

How it is built

Glass-walled from brief to transfer. Nothing behind a black box.

SAIF is our delivery method and it runs in the open. You watch the build as it happens, read the evals that gate every release, and keep every artefact — including the ones that record what did not work.

  1. 01

    Brief

    One workflow, scoped against your own data and your own renewal position.

  2. 02

    Build

    Agentic delivery against your systems, visible while it runs.

  3. 03

    Evals

    Every release gated on tests you can read and re-run yourself.

  4. 04

    Deploy

    Into infrastructure you control, alongside the system it stands beside.

  5. 05

    Transfer

    Your team runs it. We do not leave until they can.

You own it from commit one

Source, models, prompts, evals and pipeline. Not a licence to use what we built — the asset itself.

Two weeks to a working build

A working build against your own systems in two weeks. Fixed scope, fixed bill.

It runs beside the vendor module first

Nothing is retired on faith. The vendor module goes when the replacement is carrying the work.

Our commitment

Every engagement starts with a scoped working build against your own systems. If it doesn't convince you, you pay nothing — and you keep the code either way.

The ask

Bring one layer and its renewal date.

Ten working days. Which capability to build first, what the next renewal actually costs, and what owning the replacement takes. You keep the analysis.
