Client Outcomes

Manufacturing Technology Clients

Plant directors, operations leaders, and quality managers on building manufacturing technology with 1Solutions.

★★★★★

1Solutions built our custom MES for a 6-line automotive components plant. The system handles production order dispatch, digital work instructions, in-process quality checks, and real-time OEE. Integrated with our SAP S/4HANA system. OEE improved from 62% to 81% in the first 6 months. Their manufacturing domain knowledge was exceptional — they understood our process before writing a single line of code.

RP
Plant Director, Automotive Components Manufacturer (UK)
★★★★★

We hired 1Solutions to build an IIoT predictive maintenance platform for our 80-machine food processing plant. The system collects sensor data from all machines, flags anomaly patterns, and generates maintenance work orders before failure. Unplanned downtime dropped 38% in the first year. The ROI justified the entire project cost in 4 months.

SL
Operations Director, Food Processing Company (AU)
★★★★★

1Solutions built our quality management system and connected it to our Oracle ERP. The QMS handles IQC, in-process inspection, SPC charts, NCR/CAPA workflows, and supplier scorecards. First-pass yield went from 91% to 97.4% within a year of go-live. Achieving ISO 9001:2015 recertification was significantly smoother because all our quality data was properly captured.

FAQ

Manufacturing Software — FAQ

MES, IIoT, ERP integration, predictive maintenance, QMS, traceability, and compliance questions answered.

Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), ERP integration (SAP, Oracle, Dynamics), production planning and scheduling, Quality Management Systems (QMS), IIoT factory monitoring, predictive maintenance, supply chain visibility, traceability and batch tracking, digital work instructions, and manufacturing analytics / OEE dashboards.
Yes — SAP (S/4HANA, ECC, Business One), Oracle ERP Cloud, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Epicor, Infor, and NetSuite. Bi-directional sync of production orders, BOM, inventory, quality, and cost data using REST/SOAP API, SAP BAPI/RFC, or middleware (MuleSoft, Azure Integration Services).
Yes — machine connectivity (OPC-UA, MQTT, Modbus, PROFINET), PLC and SCADA data collection, edge computing, cloud IoT platforms (AWS IoT Core, Azure IoT Hub), real-time OEE dashboards, energy monitoring, and predictive maintenance systems using vibration, temperature, and cycle-count sensor data.
Yes — electronic records, electronic signatures, audit trails, user authentication, and access controls in line with FDA 21 CFR Part 11. We have delivered compliant QMS and MES systems for pharmaceutical, medical device, and nutraceutical manufacturers. We document the validation approach upfront and support IQ/OQ/PQ validation activities.
An ERP manages business processes (finance, HR, procurement, sales orders). An MES manages real-time shop floor execution — it knows what is being produced right now, on which machine, by which operator, with what material lot. An MES sits between ERP and the factory floor, consuming production orders from ERP and feeding back actual quantities, quality results, and time data. They are complementary, not competing systems.
Core MES (production order dispatch, WIP tracking, basic reporting) for a single production area: 12–16 weeks. Full MES with digital work instructions, quality, ERP integration, and OEE: 5–8 months. Multi-site rollout: 12–18 months total. We phase delivery to go live on one line first, validate with operators, then roll out across the plant.
Yes — on-premise, cloud, or hybrid. Many manufacturers require on-premise deployment for latency, data sovereignty, or network isolation reasons. We support on-premise deployment on customer infrastructure (Windows Server, Linux, VM, or bare metal), with remote access for support and monitoring. Air-gapped deployments are also supported.
Yes — we connect to PLCs and controllers via OPC-UA, MQTT, or Modbus; collect cycle counts, alarm states, energy, and quality data; buffer at the edge; and display real-time OEE, downtime events, and alarms on dashboards that plant managers and operators can see from any device.
