Custom Manufacturing Software & Industry 4.0 Development
Stacklyn builds custom manufacturing software for plants, process industries, and manufacturing MNCs. We deliver manufacturing execution systems (MES), real-time OEE and production dashboards, quality control and traceability platforms, maintenance and CMMS systems, and IoT-connected shop floor applications that turn machine data into decisions.
Software Challenges in the Manufacturing Sector
Manufacturers sit on more operational data than almost any other sector — PLC tags, SCADA historians, machine controllers, quality gauges, ERP transactions — and use a fraction of it. ERP tells you what was planned and what was invoiced; it rarely tells you why line 3 lost four hours yesterday. The gap between the ERP layer and the shop floor is where Industry 4.0 investments either pay back or stall. Custom MES and analytics software bridges that gap by capturing production, downtime, quality, and maintenance events at the machine and turning them into OEE, traceability, and predictive insight.

Problems We Solve for Manufacturing Companies
No Real-Time OEE Visibility
Availability, performance, and quality losses calculated in Excel a week later, long after the shift that could have acted on them.
Manual Production Logging
Operators recording output, rejections, and downtime reasons on paper registers that are keyed into ERP with delay and error.
Machine Data Locked in PLCs
PLC, SCADA, and historian data siloed by vendor with no unified plant-wide view for production and maintenance teams.
Weak Batch & Lot Traceability
Genealogy from raw material lot to finished goods reconstructed manually, making recalls slow and audits painful.
Reactive Maintenance Culture
Breakdowns driving the maintenance calendar because condition data and work order history are never analysed together.
Multi-Plant Reporting Chaos
Every plant reporting differently, so group management cannot compare performance or roll up numbers without manual consolidation.
Software Solutions for Manufacturing Companies
Manufacturing Execution System (MES)
Custom MES covering work order execution, operator terminals, production confirmation, rejection and rework capture, WIP tracking, and shift handover — sized for your process rather than a bloated off-the-shelf suite.
Real-Time OEE & Production Dashboard
Live OEE calculation with availability, performance, and quality breakdown by line, machine, shift, and SKU. Andon-style plant floor displays and drill-down loss analysis for continuous improvement teams.
PLC, SCADA & IoT Data Integration
Machine connectivity via OPC-UA, Modbus, and MQTT, with edge collection, time-series storage in TimescaleDB or InfluxDB, and normalised tag models across mixed-vendor equipment.
Quality Control & Traceability Platform
In-process and final inspection capture, SPC charts, non-conformance and CAPA workflows, certificate of analysis generation, and full batch and lot genealogy from raw material to dispatch.
Maintenance Management & CMMS
Preventive and condition-based maintenance scheduling, digital work orders, spare parts inventory, breakdown analysis, MTBF and MTTR reporting, and mobile job cards for technicians.
Production Planning & Scheduling Tools
Finite-capacity scheduling boards, changeover optimisation, material availability checks against ERP stock, and what-if planning views for plant planners.
Warehouse, Dispatch & Barcode Systems
Barcode and RFID-driven goods receipt, bin management, picking, packing, and dispatch with handheld scanner apps integrated into ERP and customer delivery schedules.
AI Predictive Maintenance & Vision QC
Machine learning models on sensor histories to flag developing failures, and computer vision inspection for surface defects, assembly verification, and label and packaging checks.
Tech Stack We Use
Why Manufacturing Companies Choose Stacklyn
Shop Floor to Boardroom in One Model
We design a single data model that serves operator terminals, supervisor dashboards, and group-level plant comparison — rather than three disconnected reporting tools.
Vendor-Neutral Machine Connectivity
We integrate mixed-vendor equipment through OPC-UA, Modbus, MQTT, and file or database drops, so a 20-year-old machine and a new line land in the same dataset.
Time-Series Engineering Done Right
High-frequency machine data needs purpose-built storage. We use TimescaleDB and InfluxDB with downsampling and retention strategies that keep dashboards fast at scale.
ERP-Complementary, Not ERP-Replacing
Your SAP, Oracle, or Dynamics investment stays. We build the execution and analytics layer around it and integrate cleanly at order, confirmation, and inventory boundaries.
Operator-First Interfaces
Shop floor terminals are used with gloves, in poor light, under time pressure. We design large-target, low-keystroke interfaces that operators actually adopt.
Audit-Ready by Design
Electronic records, audit trails, user attribution, and traceability are built into the core — important for pharma, food, and automotive quality audits.
