Operational Efficiency
Improving Paint Shop Performance with Quality Analytics
Advanced quality analytics helped reduce paint‑shop rework and scrap by 20–40%, improving defect detection, process stability and overall equipment efficiency.
In most manufacturing plants, the data needed to run operations already exists. Machines generate signals, downtime is logged, production and quality results are tracked, and maintenance work orders are created across SCADA, MES, ERP, and CMMS systems.
The problem lies in the effort required to turn that data into a shared, reliable view during daily operations. And when the plant doesn't have the right tools to use its data effectively, it runs into problems like:
one supplier delay or one machine stop, and there are now 25 jobs that need moving, and replanning takes half a day.
when a key worker is missing, so is the plan that they had. Then schedules stop making sense and orders get backed up.
halting the production flow on the whole shop floor.
leading to more waste, higher rework rates, and faulty quoting.
such as micro-stops and speed loss, visible only after the shift, not during.
to make better daily decisions, turning into a simple reporting metric
Production Planning Dashboard
Turn your existing ERP and machine data into production and personnel scheduling that your workers can trust. Save 30–50% of your planner’s time by reducing manual replanning. In our pilots, planners have cut down on 30 to 50% of the time they spend on manual replanning.
See machines, operators, materials, orders and downstream impact in one live view
Replan rush orders and machine stops in minutes
The planner stays in control by approving generated suggestions
Every change is logged and drag-and-drop overrides are always available
The dashboard shows OEE, the previous day's top loss causes, and which machines are currently running below speed.
Operational Efficiency and OEE
Gain visibility at the shift level. We create a unified view of your order, product, routing, and material data, detecting and showing disruptions before they can derail the whole shop floor.
Standardise OEE definitions and loss taxonomy
Make availability, performance, and quality losses visible
Support daily and shift routines focused on top loss drivers
The dashboard shows OEE, the previous day's top loss causes, and which machines are currently running below speed.
AI & Workflows
Reduce manual work, accelerate decisions, and ensure consistent execution across shifts with software that handles the reporting, escalations, and handovers your team currently handles manually between systems.
Automate reporting and escalation
Use AI assistants for maintenance, quality control, and operations
Use AI software to orchestrate multi-team workflows
Reduced manual coordination and faster escalation across shifts, with clear ownership at every step.
Quality Intelligence
Reduce scrap, rework, and quality risks by detecting defects early and understanding process-level root causes.
Detect defects early
Analyse root-cause patterns
Improve First Pass Yield through parameter insights
Improved process stability, output, quality cost, and delivery performance without buying a single extra sensor.
Predictive Maintenance
Move from reacting to failures to planning interventions before breakdowns occur, using the machine data you already have.
Detect anomalies early
Increase MTBF
Reduce unplanned downtime
Shift from reactive to risk-based planning
Validated in production environments with measurable downtime reduction.
HOW WE WORK
Discovery
for alignment, solution design, and prioritisation. Understand your current plan setup, challenges, constraints, and success criteria. Cocreate the timeline. Timeline: 1 to 2 weeks Outcomes: Technical blueprint, KPI hypothesis
Start small
targeting a single area of the delivery process without disruption. Start with one machine group or one shift, running alongside what you already use. If it does not work for your plant, we stop no long commitment needed. Timeline: 4 to 8 weeks Outcomes: working dashboard, measurable impact
Scale
only after teams see that the approach works in practice and fits their way of operating, we replicate across additional lines, assets, or plants. Once we know how to reduce replanning time, we work on turning hours into minutes and on keeping your output according to plan. Timeline: 6 to 12 months Outcomes: rollout plan, operating model
From Dürr and HOMAG to midsize industrial equipment manufacturers, we have been delivering in complex, brownfield environments across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland for over two decades.
Engineering teams colocated with your timezone, working directly with plant teams from discovery to production deployment.
Active market presence in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the UK, and the Nordics, with an office opening in July 2026 in Stockholm. We have references, events, and delivery capacity in each region.

One machine group, one shift, running alongside what you already use. If it does not work for your plant, we stop and rethink.
Our German-speaking and Swedish-speaking colleagues are ready to talk with you about how your shop floor can be better protected from risks and unexpected problems.
Probably not. We work with the data your machines, MES, ERP, and CMMS already generate. We integrate what exists rather than replace it, and we don't require new infrastructure to get started.
We use an ERP integration and the machine data you already have: no new sensors and no separate data project required to get started. Our dashboards read from your MES, SCADA, ERP, machine data, and HR systems to provide clarity and simplify production scheduling.
No. The ERP handles orders, materials, and finance. Our dashboards sit on top of your ERP and show what it cannot: which machine is causing losses right now, which operator is on shift, and what is putting your delivery schedule at risk.
That's the starting point for most of our engagements. We begin with a scoped discovery to understand what data exists, where it lives, and what's reliable enough to act on. We don't need perfect data to start. We only need a clear operational problem and access to what you already have.
A focused pilot on one production line or one asset typically takes 6–10 weeks from data access to first observable outcome. What we need from your side: one line or asset with a visible problem, a named operational owner from production or maintenance, access to existing data (even partial), and short weekly check-ins during the pilot.
We do, until it's embedded in your daily routines. The same team that defines the approach builds it and operates it. We don't hand over to a different implementation team. Transition to your internal ownership occurs only after the dashboard has been proven and your team is comfortable running it.
We agree on a baseline operational metric before starting, typically MTBF, unplanned downtime frequency, or OEE on the target line, and measure against it throughout. Success is defined in operational terms you already use, not in platform adoption or AI metrics.
We work within your existing IT security framework and governance protocols. Access to production systems is scoped and controlled from the start of the engagement. We can operate within air-gapped or highly regulated environments. We've done this in medtech, automotive, and industrial equipment plants.
