Manufacturing Systems - Process Optimization
ERP and MES systems for manufacturing: warehouse management, production planning, quality control, IoT. Cost reduction and efficiency increase.
Software for manufacturing comprises systems that support planning, control and monitoring of production processes and integration with machines and ERP.
Challenge
Your manufacturing company uses multiple non-integrated systems or Excel spreadsheets. Lack of real-time inventory visibility, production planning difficulties, manual data entry leads to errors and delays.
Our Solution
We design ERP and MES systems tailored to manufacturing specifics. Modules: warehouse management (WMS), production planning (MRP), quality control (QMS), machine integration (IoT/SCADA). Technologies: .NET backend, React/Angular frontend, PostgreSQL, OPC UA machine communication.
Result
Integrated manufacturing management system with real-time process visibility. Automatic production planning, reduced machine downtime, optimized inventory levels. Typical operational cost reduction of 15-25%.
Which systems we build for manufacturing
We build software that connects the shop floor, the warehouse and the office into one coherent picture. We most often build:
- ERP and MES systems tailored to your manufacturing specifics
- Warehouse management (WMS) with real-time stock levels
- Production planning (MRP) and order scheduling
- Quality control (QMS) and production-batch tracking
- Integration with machines and sensors (IoT, OPC UA, SCADA)
We start with the area that generates the most waste or manual work and grow the system in stages.
The manufacturing challenges we solve
In manufacturing companies we most often meet the same costly problems:
- Data scattered across many systems and Excel spreadsheets
- No up-to-date knowledge of stock levels and order status
- Difficult, manual production planning prone to errors
- Machine downtime you learn about too late
- No link between the shop floor and the ERP system
We solve them by integrating data in one place and automating what is done manually today.
How we roll out in manufacturing
We roll out a manufacturing system in stages, because stopping the shop floor is not an option.
- Process analysis: we learn the flow of materials, orders and data
- Design: we set the modules and rollout order by priority
- Implementation: we build the system and integrate it with machines and other tools
- Testing and training: we verify operation and prepare the team
- Phased go-live: we launch module by module, minimising risk
This way benefits appear gradually, not only at the end of one long project.
Machine and system integrations
The greatest value comes from connecting the system to what you already have on the floor and in the office.
- Machines and controllers: communication via OPC UA, Modbus or MQTT
- Accounting and ERP systems: consistent financial and warehouse data
- Sensors and IoT devices: collecting production data in real time
- Barcode scanners and terminals: fast, paperless warehouse operations
- Reporting and dashboards: production KPIs visible to the team and management
We design integrations so data is entered once and used wherever it is needed.
What you gain from a manufacturing system
An integrated manufacturing system turns spreadsheet chaos into a predictable, controllable process.
- Real-time visibility of stock levels and order status
- Better production planning and less downtime
- Fewer errors thanks to eliminating manual data entry
- Lower operating costs and better-used resources
- Decisions based on data, not gut feeling
It is a foundation on which to grow production without a proportional rise in cost and chaos.
How much a manufacturing system costs
The cost depends on the number of modules, machine integrations and how far it is tailored to your processes. A single module (e.g. the warehouse) is a project measured in weeks or months; a comprehensive ERP/MES system is split into stages with a separate quote for each.
We bill on a Time & Material basis at 120 PLN/h net, with full transparency of the hours. We start with process analysis and roll out the area with the fastest return.
After go-live we offer care from 1,000 PLN net per month — maintenance, integrations and system development.
Frequently Asked Questions
Ready systems (SAP, Dynamics) can be expensive to license and hard to fit to non-standard processes. We build a custom solution around your way of working, and you pay only for what you need. We advise the choice after analysing your processes.
Yes, if the machines have communication interfaces (OPC UA, Modbus, MQTT) — and most modern ones do. We collect machine data in real time and automate production processes.
No. We roll out in stages, module by module, often alongside your existing tools. We plan the switch-over to minimise risk and avoid stopping the floor.
A single module (e.g. the warehouse) can be launched in several weeks; a comprehensive ERP/MES is split into stages. After analysing the processes we present a realistic schedule.
