Integration, APIs and iPaaS in manufacturing

We design and build integrations that move data between your systems with known guarantees, and show failures before users find them.

Integration work decides how systems exchange data, whether through APIs, events or scheduled files, and what happens when something fails. We design the integration patterns, build the interfaces on your chosen platform and set up monitoring, so failures are seen and fixed rather than discovered later.

Manufacturers depend on plant uptime and safety interlocks, with suppliers spread across several countries. Plant engineers, quality teams and IT/OT owners need changes planned around production schedules and maintenance shutdowns. Regional integration often reaches national platforms, such as UAE PASS and federal and emirate service APIs in the UAE or Nafath and ZATCA in Saudi Arabia, and the open finance frameworks of CBUAE and SAMA where banks are involved.

We hand over with runbooks and training, and can stay on under agreed service levels.

Alongside sector regulation, we often map delivery evidence to cross-industry baselines such as the UAE Information Assurance Regulation issued by TDRA, the NCA Essential Cybersecurity Controls in Saudi Arabia and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, which many risk reviewers already use.

What the work covers

We design, deliver and stay until operation is stable, with evidence your procurement and risk teams can rely on.

  • Integration architecture

    Agreed patterns for APIs, events and files, with a catalogue of interfaces and an owner for each.

  • API management

    Versioning, security and usage policies for APIs, published to internal and partner developers.

  • Monitoring and recovery

    Alerts, retries and replay for failed messages, with dashboards your operations team can use.

  • Industrial and security standards

    Where plant systems are involved we design to OT security practice such as IEC 62443 and to national controls such as the UAE Information Assurance Regulation or NCA OTCC in Saudi Arabia, and keep quality records in the form your ISO 9001 or sector auditors review.

  • Security and access

    Authentication, encryption and least-privilege access for every interface, reviewed with your security team.

  • Versioning and change

    Interface versions, deprecation notices and tests, so a change in one system does not break another.

Signs you are ready to start

An integration programme is ready to start when the systems to connect, their owners and the data each one masters are known.

  • Production has agreed the shutdown or low-volume windows available for changes.
  • The owners of the main systems to be connected are named and available to agree interface contracts.
  • The system of record for each main data type has been agreed.
