Engineered by Digital Manufacturing Veterans.
We help mid-market and regulated manufacturers transform messy machine data into actionable operational gains. You own your project code. No AVANTIA licence fees or runtime royalties. No platform lock-in, no multi-year deployments — just direct, senior-architected execution unlocking constraint throughput and EBITDA expansion.
Deep domain expertise across highly regulated and mission-critical industries:
Your Machinery Speaks.
But Is Your Enterprise Backend Listening?
Many digital manufacturing initiatives stall before they deliver ROI, not because of front-end dashboards, but because machine signals, MES and ERP records were never designed to be joined in context, so analytics and AI have no reliable data to learn from.
Rigid Software Lock-In & Multi-Year Stalls
Large platform programmes often start with multi-year licences, broad migrations and long central IT roadmaps, before the first bottleneck on the shop floor is solved.
- ✕ Large licence commitments: Ongoing subscriptions regardless of operational ROI.
- ✕ Long central IT queues: Central corporate roadmaps failing urgent shop-floor bottlenecks.
- ✕ Rip-and-replace risk: Production downtime and disruptive migration penalties.
Zero "Rip-and-Replace". Direct Data Liberation.
We deploy an open Unified Namespace (UNS) and Semantic Knowledge Graph layer over your existing machinery and enterprise systems. Your current stack stays intact; we join machine signals, MES and ERP records in context, for analytics and advisory AI agents, with human approval before any action.
- ✔ No "rip-and-replace": No replacement of machines or core systems; a read-only connection, scheduled with your maintenance windows.
- ✔ No platform lock-in: Open standards and no AVANTIA licence fees; you choose open-source or commercial components.
- ✔ Senior-led delivery: The partners who scope your project are the engineers who deliver it, with decades of plant operations and industrial programme leadership.
Engineering & Consulting Portfolio.
Eight Core Industrial Practices.
From strategic executive advisory to shop-floor edge software deployment, our disciplines address the complex realities of modern digital manufacturing.
Executive Tech Leadership & Strategy
Vision, Governance & Shopfloor Adoption
The business case first: a measured baseline, leading indicators agreed up front and tangible, measurable targets agreed with you. Then the technology roadmap, enterprise architecture governance and the team changes that make adoption stick on the floor.
Industrial Data Foundation & Industry 5.0
Faster, Cheaper, More Robust Work for Technicians & Engineers
Your technicians and engineers get the right data, in context, where the work happens — so everyday tasks become faster, cheaper and more robust (Industry 5.0). Underneath, an event-driven architecture bridges SAP, legacy MES and IoT streams over open standards: MQTT with Sparkplug 3.0, Apache Kafka and OPC UA, Asset Administration Shells (IDTA / IEC 63278-1), and Digital Product Passport readiness for in-scope product groups.
Lean Manufacturing & Floor Realities
Theory of Constraints & Production Physics
In-depth process flow analysis, constraint station identification, and Drum-Buffer-Rope (DBR) line synchronization. Ensuring digital investments protect the primary bottleneck to maximize cash flow and avoid unnecessary capex.
Enterprise AI & Agentic Engineering
Engineering Data into ERP & KG Copilots
Extraction of complex technical assets (P&IDs, electrical schematics, PDF manuals) into a knowledge graph and on into enterprise ERPs (SAP, IFS, Dynamics), plus copilots grounded in that graph, with strict human-in-the-loop approval gates.
IIoT Platforms & Edge Computing
Real-Time Telemetry & Scientific Modeling
End-to-end IIoT product and hardware-adjacent software management. Processing high-frequency telemetry at the edge, scientific time-series modeling, and synthetic data generation.
Cloud, Security & Enterprise Architecture
IEC 62443 Zones & Conduits and NIS2 Readiness
Resilient OT cybersecurity and secure IT/OT convergence: zones and conduits designed to target security levels (IEC 62443-3-2), outbound-only data flows, hardware data diodes where the risk justifies them, and governance practices informed by ISO/IEC 27001 and NIS2.
Web Platforms & Offline Field Tools
360° Dashboards & Offline Industrial Apps
360° asset monitoring dashboards, centralized operational alert consoles outside the SCADA and safety alarm layer, and ruggedized offline-first mobile applications (iOS/Android/PWA) built for remote industrial field engineers.
Technical Due Diligence & PE Advisory
De-Risking Investments & Accelerating EBITDA
De-risking Industry 5.0 and industrial software investments for Private Equity and strategic acquirers. Technical audits of legacy codebases, UNS readiness assessments, and capex-avoidance financial modelling.
Enterprise Software Craftsmanship.
A Working, Read-Only Pilot in 90 Days.
We bridge modern full-stack software craftsmanship with deep shopfloor realities. From high-throughput MES/ERP connectors and offline-first rugged tablet apps to AI agents and digital twins—delivered by our AI-agent software factory, with security practices designed around ISO/IEC 27001 and IEC 62443-4-1, and built on open standards.
High-Throughput ERP & MES Bridges
Bi-directional, event-driven data exchange between legacy operational systems and modern data platforms, with buffering and retry so a slow ERP does not block shopfloor data capture. Writes go only to business systems such as ERP or CMMS, never to control systems. Connectors for ERP and maintenance systems such as SAP, IFS and Microsoft Dynamics 365, and for SCADA systems, data historians and time-series databases.
Ruggedized Mobile & Operator Tablet Tools
Engineered for harsh manufacturing plants where connectivity drops. Local SQLite/IndexedDB storage, explicit conflict-resolution rules when devices reconnect, glove-friendly HMI touch controls, and barcode/RFID scanner support.
Asset Administration Shells & Real-Time Operational Cockpits
Operational cockpits with asset context modelled in Asset Administration Shell (AAS) submodels, and read-only live views beside your SCADA, fed over WebSockets. Physics-based models where the use case justifies them.
Engineering-Data Extraction & Grounded Copilots
AI extraction of decades of unstructured P&IDs and schematics into a knowledge graph, validated by engineers and loaded into ERP maintenance hierarchies, plus copilots grounded in that graph. Every record passes a human approval gate.
Model Context Protocol (MCP) Engineering Toolchain
The 90-Day Rapid MVP Delivery Cadence
A read-only, advisory pilot on one line after an onsite kick-off workshop and a 2–4 week readiness phase, with operational validation at every milestone.
Kick-Off Workshop & Readiness
After a mutual NDA, a short, intense onsite workshop: the problem statement, the solution concept, the gains we will target against your baseline, the project plan and a RASI (who is responsible, approves, supports and is informed). Then the readiness checklist that keeps Days 1–15 on time: IT/OT security approval, network and remote-access rules, edge hardware on order, baseline KPIs agreed.
Architecture Sprint & UNS Ingestion
On-site discovery, then the Unified Namespace MQTT/Kafka broker live on the agreed network segment, reading the first priority PLC tags read-only.
Domain Modeling & Rapid Prototyping
Constructing unified data contracts, enterprise ERP connectors, and intuitive operator dashboards validated directly with line supervisors.
Target Line Pilot & Agent Calibration
Deploying software alongside active production on a primary cell. Calibrating the pilot’s models and alert thresholds against live line data and the agreed baseline.
Plant Floor Hardening & First Value Measurement
Security review against your IT/OT security requirements, operator training, handover of the project source code and infrastructure templates, and a first value measurement against the agreed baseline, with the 6–12-month measurement plan agreed.
Security by Design
Our delivery practices follow ISO/IEC 27001 information-security principles and the IEC 62443-4-1 secure development lifecycle: least-privilege access, encrypted data in transit and at rest, automated code, dependency and secrets scanning, signed and reviewed changes, and audit-ready logs.
You Own the Project IP
You own all project-specific code and infrastructure templates. Reusable AVANTIA components are licensed to you perpetually, and every third-party component is listed in an SBOM with its licence.
Outcome-Anchored Engagements
We avoid open-ended consulting timecards. Each engagement is anchored to defined operational metrics—OEE uplift, scrap reduction, or manual data-entry time.
Measurable Targets.
Validated Against Your Baseline.
Every engagement starts from a measured baseline and is judged on agreed production metrics. The figures below are the kind of targets we agree with you at the kick-off workshop, measured against your own baseline.
Real-Time Bottleneck Detection & Line Pacing
Live machine states and buffer levels from the constraint and its feeders, analysed with Theory of Constraints. Micro-stops, starvation and blockage are ranked by lost throughput, so supervisors fix what moves output first. Measured against a 2–4 week baseline.
P&ID & Document Ingestion into SAP PM
AI extraction of tags, equipment, valve schedules and line connectivity from P&IDs, datasheets and manuals into a validated equipment model, then into SAP PM. An engineer approves every record before it is written. Private model hosting available.
In-Line Visual Inspection & Traceability
Edge AI inspects surface finish and visible weld quality at line speed on one station, and writes a quality record for every serial number. Validated with a measurement-system study before go-live; it complements, never replaces, the NDT your quality plan requires.
Edge Vibration Diagnostics
Accelerometers on critical pumps, motors, gearboxes and spindles. Spectrum and envelope analysis run at the edge; ISO 20816 severity and bearing fault frequencies alert maintenance in time to plan the repair. The downtime benefit shows over 6–12 months.
Connected Maintenance Technician
Offline-first tablets give technicians step-by-step procedures, drawings, spare parts and asset history at the machine, even where Wi-Fi is restricted. Starts outside GMP record-keeping; extends into validated scope with your QA team.
Every use case is built from components available today: open-source software, bespoke code and generally available cloud services from Azure, AWS or Google Cloud, chosen with you for each site. Targets are measured on your line against your own baseline.
