Industry focus

MES and shop-floor IT/OT

We link what happens on the line to planning and finance, without touching safety systems.

Production data often stops at the machine or in a spreadsheet, so planning works from yesterday's numbers. We connect machines through OPC UA, store production data as time series, synchronise orders and confirmations with the ERP and keep safety interlocks outside the scope of any software change.

Industrial sites in both countries face OT security requirements, from the UAE Information Assurance Regulation to the NCA's OTCC in Saudi Arabia.

How the work is organised

  • Machine connectivity

    Equipment connected through OPC UA gateways, with OT network boundaries left intact.

  • Production data

    Counts, states and quality readings stored as time series and linked to orders.

  • ERP synchronisation

    Orders, material consumption and confirmations exchanged with the ERP without manual re-keying.

Are you ready to start?

Production schedules decide when systems can change, so plant leadership should agree these points first.

  • A pilot line and its machines are chosen.
  • ERP order and material data owners are named.
  • Plant engineering has listed the safety systems that stay out of scope.
