The Gap Your Clients Don't See

They have ERP. They have MES. They still can't see the shopfloor.

Every manufacturing client you've implemented has production data that's hours old, entered manually, and disconnected from the enterprise systems you built for them. Thingstel closes that gap — without touching the stack you've built.

HoursProduction Data LagShopfloor data arrives hours late — decisions made on stale information.
ManualData Entry Still the NormOperators hand-key counts, downtime codes, and scrap into spreadsheets.
ZeroReal-Time OEE VisibilityMost plants have no live OEE dashboard — the gap is invisible.
A New Revenue Model for Your Practice

Turn a one-time project into a continuous revenue relationship.

Once a client goes live, the engagement ends — even though their operational problems haven't. Thingstel creates a subscription-based shopfloor intelligence layer that begins exactly where your implementation ends, delivering a recurring monthly stream from clients you've already implemented.

Proven, Measurable Client Outcomes

15–17 percentage points of hidden OEE — in every deployment.

Every ERP or MES client you have implemented has this gap. Thingstel surfaces it in weeks. Your firm delivers the roadmap to close it — a proven, repeatable outcome story measurable in margin points.

Low Risk to Add to Any Engagement

Deploys in 2–6 weeks. No rip-and-replace. No integration risk.

Typical shopfloor connectivity projects stall on integration risk and implementation timelines. Thingstel is a low-risk add-on to a project you are already delivering — one integration layer, not dozens of point connections. OT-safe by design.

Why Thingstel

The Shopfloor-to-Enterprise Data Layer Your Clients Are Missing

The Problem with ERP + MES Alone

Enterprise systems are built for planning and record-keeping — not real-time machine visibility. The gap between what ERP reports and what the shopfloor produces is where margin disappears.

  • Production data is hours old by the time it reaches the ERP
  • OEE calculations are manual, infrequent, and inaccurate
  • Downtime root causes are invisible until it's too late
  • Your clients can't act on data they can't see

What Thingstel Adds

Thingstel is the manufacturing intelligence layer between machines and the enterprise — connecting via standard industrial protocols with zero disruption to existing systems.

  • Live OEE, downtime, and production data from day one
  • Connects via OPC-UA, Modbus, MQTT, MTConnect
  • Deploys in 2–6 weeks alongside any active engagement
  • Surfaces hidden margin — your firm delivers the roadmap
One integration layer. Not dozens of point connections. OT-safe by design.
