Manufacturing, delivered in the open.
Discrete and process manufacturing run on systems that must survive the shop floor. OT meets IT, legacy machines meet modern data, and every process change touches production. Software here isn't decoration — it's the difference between a line that runs and a line that waits. We've delivered for some of Europe's largest industrial groups, and we build for the floor first: applications operators actually use, data auditors can actually follow, and changes that never gamble with production.
What actually breaks
OT meets IT — and neither gives way
Shop-floor systems, historians and MES on one side; ERP, planning and reporting on the other. Every integration is a risk to production, so most never happen — and people bridge the gap with exports and spreadsheets.
— Production data trapped at the machine— Planning runs on yesterday's numbers— Every change window is a negotiation— Spreadsheets become the real system of record
Quality and traceability under audit
Certifications, customer audits and recalls all ask the same question: show me the evidence. When quality lives on paper and in disconnected tools, the answer takes weeks.
— Deviations and CAPAs tracked by email— Batch and serial traceability assembled by hand— Audit preparation steals days from operations— Recall scope takes too long to establish
Approval chains that stall the plant
Engineering changes, deviations, CAPEX requests and supplier approvals crawl through inboxes. The plant waits on decisions nobody can see.
— No one knows where an approval sits— Four-eyes rules enforced by habit, not by system— Decisions lack a recorded trail— Urgency handled by walking the corridor
Supply-chain blindness
Supplier status, inbound risk and inventory truth live in silos. Exceptions surface when the line stops, not before.
— Inbound delays discovered at the dock— Supplier compliance status unclear— Expediting becomes permanent firefighting— Inventory buffers hide the real problem
Named problems, worked answers
A multi-site industrial group runs quality on paper travelers and email CAPAs. Audit preparation regularly pulls engineers off the line.
- Digital production & quality workflows — travelers, deviations, CAPA
- Evidence captured at the point of work, mobile-first
- Full audit trail by construction — every decision recorded
- Views your auditors and customers can follow
Engineering changes and CAPEX approvals move through email chains. Nobody can say where a decision sits or prove who took it.
- Approval-chain applications with explicit stages and enforced four-eyes
- Evidence attached to every decision — the same gate discipline our own method runs on
- Escalation and delegation built in, visible to everyone involved
Plant data lives at the machines; the board sees monthly slide decks. Between them: exports, macros and hope.
- Plant-to-boardroom data layers — one governed path from historian to report
- Operational dashboards with drill-down to the underlying event
- EU-resident platforms your auditors and works councils can accept
Capabilities
- Custom business applications: production, quality, approval and maintenance workflows built for the floor
- Data & reporting: governed plant-to-boardroom layers, EU-resident
- Integration: OT/IT bridges that respect production windows
- Platform fit: Dynamics 365 and the Power Platform as components where they earn their place — never the identity
How we deliver
| How we deliver | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| Audit-ready by construction | Every workflow records its evidence as it runs — audits become retrieval, not reconstruction |
| EU-sovereign infrastructure | Moonbase-run platforms hosted in the EU (Germany); your data's residency is demonstrable |
| NIS2-minded delivery | Security posture visible in the Moonbase Portal — compliance on the record, not on request |
| Fixed price, gated method | AFD Confidence Gates with evidence at every stage — procurement-safe, no surprises |
Moonbase is new — the people aren't. 15+ years of senior delivery in sectors like this one, a method you can audit before you commit, and every product we ship tracked in the open.
