Providing digital solutions to optimize process flow. Flowject offers design and execution of complete industrial automation and MOM/MES projects, big or small, fully integrated. We are experienced in setting up custom ERP interfaces, commissioning PLC's and field devices, and everything in between. Whether you need a small custom app to integrate into your MES system, a web api to interface with your ERP, a retrofit of an old PLC, or the complete end to end automation of a brand new production facility, we can help. We execute our projects in a well structured manner, but with an agile approach. This way we make sure you end up with a quality solution fulfilling expectations. After initial analysis and design, we start implementation with short sprints and demos to ensure a quick feedback loop. Everything is well documented and validated (GAMP5 and other compliance requirements are not an issue) before commissioning, after which we offer continued support. Expertise: - MES - Batch control systems - SCADA - PLC - IIOT - Dashboarding, reporting, insights - Custom software development - GAMP and compliance Show less
