Idea Automation edits its own Manufacturing Execution System — purpose-built for wire drawing and galvanizing, designed on top of an operational PLC data-acquisition layer by the engineers who build the lines.
Running on real PLC data — not a mock-up. Nine business modules, an AI agent fleet, seven mobile PWA apps, on-premise and secured by SSO, role separation and an immutable audit trail.
Most MES products are generic. Ours understands dies, capstans, coils and OEE out of the box — written by automation engineers, not a vendor who never stood on a shopfloor.
It sits on top of an operational data-acquisition layer — 6 PLC protocols, live variables and history. Not a blank slate.
Understands dies, capstans, coils, heat numbers and OEE natively — because it was written for these lines.
Runs in your plant, on your servers. Your production data never leaves the site — no cloud lock-in.
IEC 62443 SL-2, ISO 27001 and NIS2 alignment, SSO, role separation and an immutable SHA-256 audit trail.
An AI agent fleet flags drift, die wear and root causes with cited evidence — you keep the decision.
EN storage language with FR · IT · ES comfort layers and a protected technical glossary.
Availability × performance × quality, per machine and per sector.
Auto-detected from the PLC, classified, argued. Pareto, MTBF/MTTR.
Heat number, N-to-N genealogy, automated EN 10204 MTC, recall.
Calendar / counter / condition PM, work orders, checklists, spares.
kWh per ton, emission factors, Scope 1/2/3, CSRD-ready reports.
Die-lifetime, diameter-drift, root-cause. Recommend with evidence — never act.
We don't hand you software and walk away. We deliver the OT network layer and the IT facilities the MES runs on — one responsible team.
Execution, production orders, deterministic recipes and machine-model configuration.
Industrial networks, data acquisition and secure OT/IT segmentation feeding the MES.
On-premise servers, networks and backup — sized and deployed for the plant.
Captured live from the running platform — not stock imagery.
Direction cockpit — global OEE, production, material yield and energy at a glance, per period.
OEE — availability × performance × quality per machine & workshop, with world-class benchmarks.
Machine stops — Pareto by cause, responsibility distribution, MTBF/MTTR and a day×hour heatmap.
Energy & resources — cost, CO₂ footprint and consumption by type & machine, from live meters.
Traceability — heat-number genealogy graph and automated EN 10204 material certificates.
CMMS maintenance — work orders, preventive plans and live MTBF/MTTR analytics.
Quality SPC — Shewhart X-chart with ±3σ control limits and spec band, computed from quality measurements.
Live monitor — watch any PLC variable in real time, with quality flags and sub-second refresh.
