Understand your factory.Then improve it.
We are a manufacturing consultancy. We start by mapping how your processes actually operate, then deliver a detailed assessment with the improvements worth making and the systems needed to support them. The software is the consequence, not the starting point.
What we usually find
Situations most production teams will recognise.
None of these mean a factory is badly run. They are the normal result of systems and habits that grew one at a time, each solving a real problem.
Information split across ERP, spreadsheets, paper and informal conversation.
Limited visibility of what is actually happening on the shop floor right now.
Processes that depend on specific people knowing what to do.
Data is being collected, but rarely reaches the decisions it could support.
Systems that were never designed to talk to each other.
Interest in AI, without a clear way to judge whether the organisation is ready.
What we do
Consulting first. Systems second.
Most of our work is consulting: understanding a factory, mapping how it really runs, and deciding what should change.
Software enters the conversation only after that, and only where it earns its place. When it does, we build and integrate it ourselves — which is why our recommendations have to survive contact with implementation.
The analysis is AI-driven where that makes it sharper. AI is an instrument we work with, not a product we sell you.
How we work
Six steps, in this order.
Each step produces something concrete you can review before the next one starts.
Observe
We see how the work actually happens, not how it is documented.
Map
We map processes, information flows and decision points.
Diagnose
We identify bottlenecks, losses and missing information.
Improve
We define practical improvements and the order to tackle them.
Implement
We apply process changes and technology where they are needed.
Measure
We track results so the improvement stays visible.
Service
Is your factory ready for AI?
Not every problem needs artificial intelligence. Often the more useful first step is improving how data is collected, structured and trusted. The assessment tells you what you already have, what is missing, and where AI would genuinely pay off.
- Data availability
- Data quality
- Existing systems
- Integration between systems
- Manual processes
- Shop floor data capture
- Traceability
- Infrastructure

Service
Before digitalising a process, understand it.
We follow how information, materials and decisions actually travel through your organisation — from the moment an order arrives to the moment it ships. Then we show you where the flow breaks.
- Order intake
- Planning
- Work orders
- Production
- Material movement
- Quality control
- Downtime and rework
- Approvals
- ERP, spreadsheets and paper
- Dispatch
What comes next
Systems that organise the work and report on it.
When the assessment points to software, these are the systems we implement: to organise production, connect what is already in place, and turn shop floor activity into metrics you can manage by.
We do not start by choosing software. We start by understanding the process. Only then do we assess whether the answer is a change in how work is organised, an integration between systems, automation, IoT, applied artificial intelligence — or a tool such as FabVitals MES.
FabVitals Planning
Plan against real capacity. Follow every order as it happens.
FabVitals FloorTrack
Production recorded at the station, by the person who made it.
FabVitals Warehouse
Know what is on every cart at the line, and what is being made with it.
FabVitals EPI
The right protective equipment, checked before the work starts.
FabVitals Subcontratado
Work that leaves the building, still in sight.
FabVitals AI
Ask the factory a question, and get the answer from its own data.
The production layer
When visibility is the problem, FabVitals MES connects the factory.
It links planning to the shop floor and makes the state of production visible: what is running, what stopped, what was produced and what was rejected. It is one of the tools we may propose, not a default answer.
It connects to any ERP rather than replacing one. And it is not all-or-nothing: shop floor capture, defect monitoring and the subcontractor portal can each run directly on the ERP you already have, without the MES at all. The first step can be a single module.
Integration
Connect what you already have.
The goal is rarely to replace your ERP or the systems your team already knows. More often it is to make them exchange the information they were never connected to share.
