What this isBuilt for you • You own the code

Wind Digital builds custom Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) and industrial IoT data pipelines engineered for discrete and batch manufacturers. Rather than paying hundreds of thousands of dollars in legacy software licensing for inflexible industrial software, our bespoke platform provides live OEE monitoring, multi-level Bill of Materials (BOM) explosion, digital work traveler barcodes, and sub-second PLC/SCADA sensor telemetry with 100% owned intellectual property.

Real-Time OEE Analytics

Automated availability, performance, and quality calculation per machine and work center.

Digital Traveler Barcodes

Paperless batch routing from raw material intake to quality checkpoint and packaging.

PLC & Edge Gateway Sync

Direct Modbus, OPC-UA, and MQTT protocol ingestion from Siemens, Beckhoff, and Allen-Bradley.

Quality Control & CAPA

Automated photographic defect logging and non-conformance corrective action workflows.

Operational Benchmark: Deployed across automotive Tier-1 assembly lines achieving 89.4% average OEE and 0% lost batch compliance.

The journey

From first enquiry to closed deal

Standard CRMs stop at a generic contact form. Our bespoke automotive platform orchestrates the complete 13-stage dealership sales lifecycle.

01MRP II Planning

BOM Explosion & Work Orders

Production planning generates work orders with multi-level Bill of Materials and machine routing schedules.

02Shop Floor MES

Operator Station Check-In

Machine operators scan traveler barcodes to load CAD drawings, standard operating procedures, and safety checklists.

03SCADA & Edge

Automated Sensor Telemetry

Industrial IoT edge gateways stream cycle times, vibration, temperature, and power consumption into real-time gauges.

04QA & Compliance

Quality Checkpoint & CAPA

In-line inspection terminals record micrometer tolerances, surface defects, and generate non-conformance reports.

05Warehouse & ERP

Packaging & ERP Reconciliation

Pallet barcodes generated, finished goods booked into warehouse, and production labor/material costs posted to ERP.

The problem

What this fixes

Generic CRM software forces painful workarounds and fractured customer records. Here is how our bespoke platform replaces friction with connected workflows.

Dealership Friction #01Operational Bottleneck

Paper Travelers & Delayed Production Reporting

Plant managers discover machine bottlenecks hours or days after the shift ends

ENGINEERED ARCHITECTURE
Wind Digital Software Resolution:

Touchscreen operator terminals with barcode scanning logging scrap, cycle counts, and machine state in real-time.

Zero Shift Lag
Dealership Friction #02Operational Bottleneck

OEE Calculated on Disconnected Excel Sheets

Inaccurate manual entry creates false availability numbers and masks machine micro-stoppages

ENGINEERED ARCHITECTURE
Wind Digital Software Resolution:

Automated IoT telemetry reading spindle speed, cycle counts, and temperatures directly into real-time dashboards.

+14% Line Capacity
Dealership Friction #03Operational Bottleneck

Lot Traceability Compliance Failures

Recalls or supplier audits require days of manual paper searches to identify affected customer shipments

ENGINEERED ARCHITECTURE
Wind Digital Software Resolution:

Instant bidirectional genealogy linking raw material supplier CoAs to finished serialized goods in 2 clicks.

Sub-10s Traceability
Dealership Friction #04Operational Bottleneck

Unplanned Equipment Downtime & Broken Spares

Preventative maintenance is forgotten until critical motors burn out during peak shifts

ENGINEERED ARCHITECTURE
Wind Digital Software Resolution:

CMMS module automatically scheduling lubrication and maintenance based on actual runtime hours.

-35% Unplanned Down

Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Key operational, licensing, technical, and DMS integration questions answered directly.

Yes. We engineer an offline-first Edge Gateway architecture. The shop floor operator screens and machine telemetry continue logging locally on your plant's local network, automatically synchronizing with the central database when the connection recovers.
