Software for factories that already have enough on their plate

On a shop floor, the same number exists three times: in the machine, on the report someone fills in by hand at the end of the shift, and in the ERP, days later. Veodar turns those three copies into one. What happens on the line reaches quality, production and the back office on its own, and AI takes the office work nobody wants.

Every part passes under the camera. If a measurement falls outside tolerance, the pusher sends it to the reject bin and the shift panel logs it on its own.

01

A production report should not be written twice.

Stops, good parts, rejects and changeovers. Today they go on paper or a shared spreadsheet, someone types them into the ERP, and the plant manager sees Monday’s shift on Wednesday. Every copy is a chance for a mistake and an hour not spent making things.

We build the digital report where the work happens: a screen on the line or a mobile app that works with no signal inside the plant. If the machine already counts parts, the counter is read over OPC UA or MQTT, and the operator only confirms what the machine cannot know, such as why it stopped.

02

Quality you see on the line, not in the complaint.

A machine-vision camera measures every part against its tolerance and pulls the ones that fail before they reach the pallet. The rule is not a black box: every reject keeps its photo, its measurement and its work order, so quality can review it and adjust the threshold with data.

When the model is unsure, it does not decide: the part goes to human review. It is the same rule as in all our AI automation. The machine proposes and a person, or a written rule, confirms.

03

OEE is simple math with hard-to-gather data.

Availability times performance times quality. The formula fits on a napkin; the hard part is having the shift’s three numbers without chasing anyone. With the digital report and machine data, OEE calculates itself, per line and per part number, and the dashboard shows where the time goes: micro-stops, changeovers or reduced speed.

The dashboard does not replace your ERP or MES. It sits on top and writes to them through their API or whatever channel you already use, so the work order closes with real numbers.

04

AI works in the engineering office too.

Purchase orders that arrive as PDFs, drawings with part numbers someone has to look up, quotes calculated with the same spreadsheet for years. An agent reads the order, checks it against the catalog and the ERP, and leaves the quote or work order ready for a person to review and send.

And to sell what you make, a 3D configurator with instant pricing turns the variants in your catalog into something a customer understands without picking up the phone.

Deliverables

What we usually build on the shop floor.

  • Digital production report that works offline
  • Machine data over OPC UA, MQTT or Modbus
  • OEE and downtime dashboard per line and part number
  • Machine-vision quality control with human review
  • Agent that prepares quotes and orders from PDF purchase orders
  • ERP and MES integration without switching systems

Questions

What we usually get asked

Missing yours? Write it to info@veodar.com and we'll reply with a specific question, not a brochure.

Do we have to change our ERP or MES?

No. We work on top of what you have, through an API, the database or exchange files. If a system offers no way to talk to it, we say so up front and propose the least invasive alternative.

Can you read data straight from the machines?

If the PLC publishes data over OPC UA, MQTT or Modbus, yes, usually through a gateway on the plant network. Older machines can be read with a simple sensor, such as a cycle counter or a run detector.

Is the plant network exposed to the internet?

No. Data is read from inside and leaves through an encrypted channel, with no ports open into the plant. We design it with your IT team before installing anything.

What happens if the connection drops on the floor?

The report and the machine reader store data locally and send it when the connection returns. A shift without signal is not lost.

Where do you start?

With one line and one number. Usually the production report or the stops: that gives hours back to the plant soonest and feeds everything else.
