Custom Automation for Manufacturers
From automated production reporting and equipment integrations to operations dashboards, we build tools that eliminate the manual, repetitive work your team shouldn't have to do.
Services
The Problem
You are still generating shift, run or batch reports manually, pulling data from multiple sources, plotting graphs and formatting tables. It takes hours per run and introduces risk every time a human touches it.
What We Build
We build custom software that connects to your existing data sources including SQL databases, spreadsheets and PLCs, and automatically generates a complete, locked, timestamped PDF report at the end of every run.
The Problem
Your equipment generates valuable process data but it lives in a silo. Getting it into your database, your reporting system or your dashboards requires manual exports or simply does not happen at all.
What We Build
We build custom integrations using standard protocols like OPC UA that connect your instruments and machines to the rest of your workflow, without touching your existing control setup.
The Problem
Your team is managing maintenance schedules, equipment status, quality records or job tracking across multi-sheet spreadsheets that nobody can navigate at a glance. When something is overdue or out of spec, nobody finds out until it is already a problem.
What We Build
We build lightweight custom dashboards that connect to your existing data, whether that is a spreadsheet, a database or a piece of equipment, and give your whole team a clear view of what matters. Upcoming deadlines, status at a glance, trends over time, and simple forms to keep records up to date without touching the underlying spreadsheet.
Process
We start with a free call to understand exactly what's slowing your business down.
We put together a clear proposal outlining what we'll build, how long it will take and what it will cost. No surprises.
We build, test and deploy a custom solution tailored to your specific workflow and tools.
Approach
Hands-on experience integrating with equipment and systems on the manufacturing floor, from user requirements through full testing and deployment.
Every solution is tailored to your specific workflow, data sources and team. Nothing is generic, nothing is off the shelf.
We understand both sides of the boundary. From PLCs, sensors and OPC UA to databases and reporting pipelines, we can reach all the way from your equipment to your output.
Built, tested and documented before anything is deployed. Clean source code and full technical documentation included so your team always understands what was built.
You always know where things stand and what is coming next. No surprises on scope, timeline or cost.
Case Studies
Client
A biotech company selling automated lab equipment needed GMP and ISO compliant PDF reports generated after every batch process. Previously, generating each report manually required pulling data, building graphs and formatting tables, a process that took several hours per run.
What We Built
A custom Python application that connects directly to the equipment's SQL database, automatically pulls the relevant batch data, generates formatted tables and graphs and produces a complete, locked, timestamped GMP and ISO compliant PDF report, triggered automatically at the end of each batch or on demand for any past run.
Result
Multiple hours of manual work eliminated per batch run, with consistent and compliant output every time.
Client
A robotics equipment manufacturer needed a way for their machine to be controlled and integrated directly into their customers' existing automated workflows. Previously, operators had to control the machine through its own proprietary software, making it impossible to run it synchronously alongside other equipment on the line.
What We Built
A custom OPC UA server that exposed the machine's core functionality to external systems, allowing automation platforms, databases and process control systems to connect, communicate and control the machine seamlessly as part of a fully integrated workflow.
Result
The machine went from a standalone device requiring manual operation to a fully integratable component that could run synchronously within any automated production environment, unlocking new value for their end customers.
Client
An industrial controls environment required frequent manual exports of HMI displays, dataloggers and tags to version control whenever updates were made. The process was multi-step, time consuming and prone to human error if any step was missed.
What We Built
A custom automation tool that handles the entire export process in one click, automatically exporting the correct components and saving them to the right location, every time.
Result
Daily manual effort eliminated, human error removed and a previously error prone process made consistently reliable.
