THE CONNECTED FACTORY / HOW IT WORKS
Every event.
A clearer picture.
Your shop floor is already telling you what is happening. Pocket-E connects machines, production systems, and people to turn that activity into production records and operational insight.
From the floor to the full picture
Illustrative shift · 25-second story
Sample time 08:00
This illustrative story opens at 08:00, one hour into the shift. Press 02 stops at 08:05. Pocket-E captures the event and calculates its effect on OEE. Production resumes at 08:11, and the ERP receives updated good production. The sample ends at 08:20 with 131 good parts, two scrap parts, and six minutes of downtime.

Every state, connected.
Flow keeps the machine, order, and event together.

Every cycle tells a story.
Press 02 is producing normally. Flow captures completed parts and cycle times as the shift progresses.
The story plays once. Pause or select a step at any time. Sample data and compressed time; this is an explanation of the workflow.
THE APPROACH
Built around the way
your plant works.
Start with a focused use case. The same foundation can grow with your operations.
01DROP IN
Start with your reality.
We connect PLCs, equipment, IoT devices, ERP systems, and operator inputs to a shared model of your operation. Your processes set the starting point.
02CAPTURE
Capture what matters.
Cycle times, downtime, quality, and material flow become connected events. Each event carries the context of the machine, order, and operation.
03DEPLOY
Build the right view.
Use that shared foundation for production tracking, OEE, packing validation, planning, or a view tailored to your team.
A MODULAR SYSTEM
Shared state.
Purpose-built possibilities.
Flow
Turn machine activity into trusted production data.
Capture what each machine is making, its pace, and any downtime or anomalies. Automate production recording, track cycles and throughput, and prompt operators when input is needed.
- Cycle times & OEE
- Operator inputs
- Labels & ERP updates
Verify
Send the right product, in the right container.
Validate containers, pallets, and customer sequences before they leave the plant. Enforce packing accuracy, print the right labels, and record production and containers in ERP.
- Packing accuracy
- Customer sequencing
- Container traceability
Align
Give every shift a plan it can work with.
Consume a detailed ERP schedule or a simple XLSX from a shared drive. A visual workbench lets planners slot demand into work centers and keep the plan connected to real capacity.
- ERP schedules
- Visual planning
- Work center capacity
Beacon
See the signals behind every shift.
Bring Flow and Verify events together with Align plans. Build OEE dashboards, trend charts, digital twins, and planned-versus-actual views on the same shared state.
- OEE & trends
- Digital twins
- Planned vs. actual
Why it works:
Tech + Experience.
Decades in manufacturing IT and automation shape how we build. We understand where a transaction belongs, when an operator needs a prompt, and how an ERP integration needs to behave.
Technology only works if people want to use it. We document, train, and support every deployment, using AI to help create customer-specific documentation in multiple languages.
