The stories

Every one of these started the same way: one team, one connection, one question — then it spread.

Weiler Products Inc · Industrial manufacturing

The business team built the integrations, analytics and Dashboards themselves

Aptean ERP, the Siemens brownfield connector into InfluxDB, Opcenter X MES and Power BI joined in one thread — with Flows, calculations and visuals built inside FactoryThread by the business team, not by developers.

Built by: Business team, not IT
Systems joined: ERP + MES + historian + BI
Data silo warnings: Live on every integration

Revere Copper · Metals · Copper manufacturing

Modular migration off a deprecating DB2 MES — without stopping production

150 custom applications built around an IBM DB2 MES, in a plant where downtime is expensive and a switch-on/switch-off cutover is not an option. FactoryThread connects old and new so migration happens module by module.

Custom applications in scope: 150
Cutover approach: Modular, not big-bang
Company age: 250 years

Tata Advanced Systems · Aerospace & defence

Scheduling engine kept, reimplementation avoided

Data transformation moved out of the scheduling engine so it only computes schedules. Run time dropped sharply, and a costly replacement programme was avoided. Live in three plants.

Plants live: 3
Scheduling run time: Significantly reduced
Reimplementation cost: Avoided

Genesis Attachments · Heavy equipment

The existing planning engine kept — the missing visualisation built around it

Rather than rip out the advanced planning capability already inside their ERP, FactoryThread integrated with it and built the visualisation and what-if scenarios the team had been doing in a spreadsheet.

ERP replaced: None — the existing ERP kept
Spreadsheet planning: Replaced by a real app
App delivery: Fast, AI-assisted build
