Capability
MES and shop-floor visibility
Work orders, line status, and labour that operators will use. Not a dashboard that only works in the office.
- Work-order execution
- Line and cell status
- Labour and crew assignment
- Andon and exception capture
Connect the plan to what is happening on the floor.
We help manufacturers join planning, production, quality, and maintenance so teams can act on the loss that matters this week.
Who this is forDiscrete manufacturersProcess manufacturersMulti-plant operations
01 / How the industry runs
How a plant actually hits the plan
The plan assumes materials, machines, and people are ready together. Software helps when planning, the line, quality, and maintenance share the constraint that matters this shift.
- 01
Plan production
Orders, materials, and asset readiness become a feasible schedule.
- 02
Execute work orders
The floor works the current order, with the current bill and routing.
- 03
Check quality
Findings get a disposition and an owner before the next release.
- 04
Track performance
Losses are coded close to the work so the same picture reaches planning.
02 / What we build
Software we build for manufacturing.
Pick a capability. You’ll see the modules and features that usually sit inside it, scoped to the operation you run, not a generic platform.
03 / Use cases
Jobs this software is built to finish.
These are the operating jobs buyers recognise. Not abstract transformation themes.
A schedule the floor can run
Release work only when material, tooling, and the asset are ready.
Downtime that planning can see
Code the stop once, close to the asset, and attach it to the missed order.
Quality findings that stop the next release
Give every finding a disposition, a hold, and a follow-up owner.
Traceability when a customer asks
Follow lot or serial from receipt through process to ship.
04 / Who uses it
Built for the people who run the day.
Each role gets a working surface. Not a report they have to reconstruct.
Plant leaders
The constraint on this week’s delivery, in language the floor uses.
Quality and maintenance
Repeat losses and findings with an owner.
Planning and finance
How a schedule change hits inventory and cost.
05 / How it connects
Fits the systems you already run.
We connect MES, ERP, and the plant systems you already paid for. The line does not get a second set of work orders.
Systems we typically connect
- MES and plant systems
- ERP and inventory
- Equipment and sensors
- Quality and CMMS
Designed into the build
- Lot and serial traceability
- Electronic sign-off where required
- Role-based process holds
06 / AI in this industry
Useful on one job first.
We apply AI to a task your team already owns. A person still reviews anything that changes money, safety, or a customer promise.
Explore AI ServicesStructure maintenance notes
Extract recurring symptoms for technician review and investigation.
Assist quality analysis
Group defects and source evidence; quality teams approve dispositions.
07 / What operators tell us
The friction sits in the handoff.
A short read of why these systems get commissioned. The work above is what we actually build.
The plan ignores readiness
Material or the asset was never going to be free.
Every line describes downtime differently
You cannot see a repeat loss.
Quality findings arrive too late
Inspection does not reach planning or the supplier in time.
08 / How we deliver
A first slice your team can judge.
We start from the workflow and systems you already run, then release something operators can accept or send back.
Map the operating workflow
Users, systems, and the first capability worth shipping, named with the people who run it.
Define the first release
Scope, data ownership, integration boundaries, and how your team will accept the work.
Build with the operators
Working software in the real workflow, including the exception paths people actually take.
Launch, measure and extend
Rollout, support, and the next capability against the measures you already collect.

Before you write to us.
What manufacturing software does PySquad build?
We build production visibility tools, quality workflows, planning and inventory layers, and integrations across MES, ERP, and plant systems, designed for operators, not just IT dashboards.
How does AI improve manufacturing throughput?
AI helps teams identify bottlenecks, predict downtime, and optimize sequencing so production flows more smoothly with fewer unplanned stoppages.
Can AI support quality control in manufacturing?
Yes. By combining sensor and process data, AI can flag drift patterns early and trigger corrective actions before defects scale.
Can you modernize manufacturing systems without a full platform replacement?
Yes. We often modernize in layers, integrating existing MES/ERP and upgrading critical workflows incrementally to avoid operational disruption.
What outcomes should manufacturers track first?
Teams usually start with OEE, downtime reduction, quality escape rates, and planning accuracy to confirm business impact quickly.
