Singularity for Manufacturing

The line stopped at two. The schedule found out at six.

Your PLCs, your ERP and the schedule in Excel each know a piece. We read them where they sit, so nothing gets ripped out, and your team runs the result on its own screens.

Where plants lose track

  1. 01 The PLC and the ERP never meet Your CNCs, stamping presses and injection molding lines log every cycle. Your ERP never sees it, so the order says one thing and the floor says another.
  2. 02 The schedule lives in one person's head High-mix, low-volume, and no two days alike. The plan sits in a spreadsheet or on a whiteboard, and when its owner is out, the floor slows down.
  3. 03 Nobody wrote down what your best operator knows Thirty years of setups and fixes live in one person. When they retire, you see it in scrap, rework and missed deliveries.
  4. 04 Audits mean assembling records by hand Customer audits and traceability requests send someone through travellers and spreadsheets for records that should already exist.
  5. 05 Every plant counts downtime its own way Different reason codes, different spreadsheets. Comparing two sites means arguing about the numbers first.
  6. On your floor CNC machiningStamping pressesInjection moldingAssembly linesAllen-Bradley, Siemens and Fanuc controllersPaper travellers and whiteboards
  7. Who you answer to ISO 9001IATF 16949Your customersHealth and safety regulators

What we connect in a plant

  • ERP Orders, due dates and materials, so every job on the floor knows which order it's for.
  • PLCs and SCADA Machine state, counts and faults as they happen. Every stop gets a time and a reason.
  • Historian Process readings over time, so a quality question gets answered from the data, not from memory.
  • Quality system Holds, NCRs and inspections. A hold is tied to the jobs and lots it touches.
  • Maintenance system Work orders and planned stops, read next to the machine they're for.
  • Spreadsheets, paper and email The schedule in Excel and the downtime log on a clipboard.

What plants use the Singularity for

Your Singularity, built for how you work. Pick one of these or all of them, and we set it up around your lines, your shifts and the names your plant already uses.

Dynamic scheduling

A line stops. The schedule recovers.

Historian + OEE Engine + Scheduling Engine + Planner

The Historian records the stop. The OEE Engine shows what it cost. The Scheduling Engine reruns the plan. Inside the authority you set, the Planner applies the moves. Anything outside waits for a person to commit it.

2 What runs, and what it does

  1. Integration HubCarries the open orders from the ERP, so the plan starts from real demand.
  2. HistorianRecords the stop the moment the line goes down. Nothing to reconstruct.
  3. OEE EngineYou see what the stop costs before the shift review.
  4. Scheduling EngineThe plan shifts around what the line can still make.
  5. PlannerWakes when the line stops and proposes which jobs move and when.
  6. Approval QueueMoves outside the Planner's authority wait here for a yes.

  • Weld Line 1 stopped 14:02, fault 214

Knowledge and training

A new operator has a question. The SOP answers it.

Knowledge Library + Retrieval Engine + Q&A Engine

Your SOPs, manuals and training video go in one library. A new operator asks how to change over Line 2 and gets the steps with the page cited, on their first shift.

2 What runs, and what it does

  1. Knowledge LibraryHolds your manuals, SOPs and training material, in a global collection or one for each site.
  2. Retrieval EngineFinds the exact passage, or the minute in a training video, that answers the question.
  3. Q&A EngineTakes the question in plain words, hands back the passage with its page cited, and says so when no document has the answer.
  4. SecurityControls who signs in, which Modules each role can reach and which sites each person sees.
  5. Form BuilderPuts the procedure beside the check, so people learn it while they do the job.

3 What you get

Equipment uptime

A machine goes down. You know why before the meeting.

Historian + OEE Engine

Every stop is logged with its time and reason. The OEE Engine shows availability, performance and quality per machine and line, so Monday’s meeting starts from the number the floor saw.

2 What runs, and what it does

  1. HistorianTakes machine state, counts and faults as they happen, and keeps every stop with its time and asset.
  2. OEE EngineTurns them into availability, performance and quality, machine to site.
  3. Integration HubCarries work orders from the ERP, so each stop is tied to the job it hit.

Quality monitoring

A reading drifts. The lot is held before it ships.

SPC Engine + Auditor + Investigation Engine

The SPC Engine flags the drift. The Auditor holds the lot inside its authority, or brings the hold to a person. The Investigation Engine picks it up when it becomes a case.

  3. Notification CenterTells the quality lead when the hold is proposed.
  4. Authority MatrixDecides whether the Auditor may hold the lot alone.
  5. Investigation EngineOpens the case and starts collecting evidence.

  • Fill weight, lot 7731

Downtime fell 86% across seven facilities. Shorts went from 50 a month to 12.

What happened at real plants after the Singularity went in.

  • less downtimeacross seven production facilities 86%
  • customer shorts a monthwithin six months 50 to 12
  • longer planning horizonin a customer deployment 50%
  • facilities on one installationrun by one customer 19
