Industry Solutions

Manufacturing & Industry 4.0

Planning that matches what actually happens on the floor, quality checks that catch defects before the customer does, and maintenance scheduled on condition rather than the calendar — connected to the system that runs the plant.

Industry Challenges

Plans built in spreadsheets that drift from reality within a week

Quality problems discovered downstream, or by the customer

Maintenance on fixed intervals regardless of condition

Supplier, stock and production data spread across systems that disagree

Operational knowledge held by a handful of experienced people

Our Solutions

Demand and production planning models tied to real constraints

Vision-based quality inspection with human review queues

Condition-based maintenance forecasting

ERP consolidation, with SalesBrace or with what you already run

Retrieval over standard operating procedures, machine manuals and service history

What we build

Typical work in this sector

The systems we are most often asked to build in manufacturing & industry 4.0.

Defect detection on production imagery, with low-confidence cases routed to an inspector

Maintenance forecasting from sensor and service history

Production planning that accounts for changeovers and material availability

Assistants that answer machine and procedure questions from your own manuals

Our view

What we would tell you first

The constraint in most plants is not a missing model — it is that planning, quality and maintenance data live in three systems that contradict each other. Reconcile those and even an ordinary forecast starts paying for itself.

FAQ

Manufacturing & Industry 4.0 Technology — Frequently Asked Questions

What is usually the real blocker on the plant floor?+

Not the absence of a model. It is that planning, quality and maintenance data live in three systems that contradict each other, so nobody trusts any single number. Reconciling that is unglamorous and it is where the first phase of most engagements goes — after which a fairly ordinary forecast starts paying for itself.

How does vision-based quality inspection work in practice?+

A model reviews production imagery and flags suspected defects, with anything below a confidence threshold routed to an inspector rather than auto-rejected. Inspector decisions feed back in, so the categories the system is weak on improve. We evaluate on your worst-lit, worst-angle images, because that is what determines whether the line trusts it.

Can this connect to the ERP we already run?+

Yes — and it has to, or you end up with insight in one place and the decision in another. We integrate with what you run, or consolidate onto SalesBrace where replacing the existing system is the better answer. We will tell you plainly which of those we think applies.
