Stop Losing Hours Chasing Scattered Production Data Get Unified Dashboards That Put Everything in One Place

How long does it take to build a custom dashboard for our manufacturing setup?

It depends on your complexity, but most manufacturing clients see a working prototype in 4-6 weeks. We start with a deep dive into your production lines and data sources—like your PLCs and ERP—to map everything out. Then, our builders code the core integrations and UI tailored to your KPIs. Testing happens in phases, simulating real shop conditions to ensure it handles peak loads. Full deployment, including training, wraps in 8-10 weeks. The key? We prioritize quick wins, like real-time machine monitoring, so you get value early while we polish the rest. No endless timelines here— we're ROI-driven from the start.

Will this integrate with our existing ERP and shop floor software?

Absolutely, integration is our bread and butter. We specialize in connecting disparate systems common in manufacturing, like pulling data from SAP, Epicor, or even legacy PLC controllers. Our approach uses robust APIs for two-way sync, so your dashboard not only displays info but can trigger actions, like auto-adjusting inventory in your ERP when sensors detect low stock. We've done this for firms with mixed setups—think outdated machinery alongside modern IoT. Security is baked in with encrypted connections to keep production data safe. If there's a quirky system, we custom-code bridges that outlast superficial plugins. You're not adding another silo; we're unifying it all for that single view.

What kind of KPIs can we track in these dashboards?

We tailor KPIs to your manufacturing realities, focusing on practical metrics like Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), first-pass yield, cycle time variances, and inventory turnover rates. For example, track machine downtime by cause, supplier on-time delivery percentages, or defect rates per batch. It's all real-time, so you see if a line's slowing due to material issues before it impacts the whole shift. We avoid fluff—every metric ties to ROI, like reducing scrap costs or optimizing labor allocation. During discovery, we align with your goals, say boosting throughput by 15%, and build visualizations that make insights actionable, whether for foremen or C-suite overviews.

Is the dashboard accessible on mobile for our shop floor team?

How do you ensure the dashboards scale as our production grows?

What support do you provide after launch?

Post-launch, we're in it with you—not a handoff and goodbye. We offer 90 days of included support for tweaks and optimizations, like refining alerts based on your first production cycles. Ongoing, it's tiered: basic monitoring for uptime, or premium with quarterly reviews to align with new KPIs. Our team, including manufacturing-savvy engineers, handles updates via secure channels. Clients love the dedicated Slack channel for quick questions—responses in hours, not days. We've kept dashboards running flawlessly for years, adapting to changes like new compliance regs. It's partnership, ensuring your investment keeps delivering ROI without extra headaches.
