Discrete and process manufacturers across the region compete on cost, quality, and speed — while aging control systems, opaque line performance, and disconnected enterprise platforms quietly erode all three. Our Manufacturing practice engineers the full stack from PLC to ERP, with production outcomes as the measure.
Most manufacturers across the Western Balkans run production on equipment installed across 15–30 years — with control systems, local HMIs, operator spreadsheets, and standalone systems collecting data that never leaves the factory floor. The board asks for a weekly production report and receives a retrospective PDF rebuilt from monthly email attachments.
This is a competitive problem, not a reporting problem. Manufacturers who see their operations in real time run tighter cycles, scrap less material, predict maintenance rather than react to breakdowns, and make planning decisions on current data. Those that cannot are giving competitors an operating-margin advantage they cannot close through commercial work alone.
Our Manufacturing practice engineers the digital shop-floor — from PLC-level automation up through SCADA, MES, and ERP integration. Every engagement is anchored to a measurable operating outcome — OEE, throughput, yield, energy intensity, or scrap rate — not to generic "Industry 4.0" slideware.
These are the offerings we most frequently deliver for Manufacturing & Industry clients — drawn from our twelve capabilities, twelve solutions, and four platforms, shaped to this sector's regulatory, operational and commercial specifics.
Manufacturing-specific ERP — Dynamics 365 F&O, Oracle Fusion, SAP S/4HANA — with shop-floor integration, costing, and quality modules engineered for actual operations.
MES deployment and integration — scheduling, execution, OEE, genealogy, quality — integrated with ERP and shop-floor controls.
Industrial control and visualisation — Ignition, Siemens WinCC, AVEVA, Rockwell — engineered for operator productivity first.
Sensor-to-cloud architectures, industrial gateways, edge computing, and time-series databases — for industrial environments.
Vibration, temperature, and acoustic condition-monitoring combined with ML models — moving maintenance from calendar-driven to predictive.
OT security — network segmentation, asset discovery, anomaly detection, IEC 62443 alignment — integrated with our SOC.
Industrial energy management — sub-metering, analytics, ISO 50001 frameworks, and tariff optimisation.
Serialisation, batch coding, track-and-trace — with Markem-Imaje and Zebra — for regulated and consumer-safety-critical sectors.
Managed services for shop-floor and enterprise platforms — with industrial-grade SLAs and on-call engineering response.
Strategic advisory for Industry 4.0 maturity — current-state assessment, capability gap analysis, technology roadmap aligned to ISA-95, ROI cases, and implementation sequencing across ERP, MES, SCADA, and IIoT layers.
Digital twin platforms for production lines, plants, and supply chains — process simulation, what-if analysis, virtual commissioning — with Siemens Tecnomatix, AnyLogic, AVEVA, or open frameworks selected for fit.
Computer vision for inline quality inspection — defect detection, dimensional measurement, OCR, label and barcode verification — with Cognex, Keyence, Basler, or custom-trained models on industrial cameras.
Every Digital Enterprise engagement follows the same reference architecture — adapted to your scale, cloud posture, and compliance requirements. This is the stack-level view we present to steering committees and auditors.
Our Manufacturing & Industry engagements draw on these four capabilities most frequently. Each is its own practice with dedicated leads, certified engineers, and standing sector playbooks.
Every Manufacturing & Industry engagement starts from a specific trigger. These are the four we see most often — the conversation usually begins at one of them.
Lines running 24/7 but nobody can say with confidence what OEE is. MES deployment, instrumentation, daily OEE reporting — 10–18 point uplift typical in 12 months.
PLCs and HMIs installed 15–25 years ago, vendors ending support. Structured modernisation with parallel-run validation.
Food & beverage, pharma, cosmetics, chemicals — serialisation, batch genealogy, rapid-recall capability.
Metals, cement, chemicals, food processing — sub-metering, analytics, ISO 50001, tariff optimisation. 8–15% reduction in year one.
Digital Enterprise is platform-agnostic by design — we lead with the right tool for your scale and compliance load, not the one that pays us the highest margin. Our engineers hold certifications with every major vendor in this space.
Phased core banking modernisation across three subsidiaries — delivered against a central-bank audit deadline, a fixed-scope contract, and a zero-downtime commitment the steering committee demanded. The case study documents the scope, risks, and bankable business case.
A focused conversation with the senior partner who leads our Manufacturing & Industry practice — plus your CEO or CIO. We frame the opportunity, the risk envelope, and the engagement shape, then agree whether there is a fit before any proposal is drafted.
