Common questions about our manufacturing software development services.
Development timelines vary based on complexity and scope. A simple production tracking system might take 3-4 months, whilst a comprehensive MES solution could require 9-12 months. We use agile development, so you'll see working software within weeks and can provide feedback throughout the process. We'll provide a detailed timeline during the discovery phase based on your specific requirements.
Yes, absolutely. We specialise in integrating custom software with existing manufacturing systems including SCADA, PLC controllers, ERP platforms, and automation equipment. We support standard industrial protocols like OPC UA, Modbus, Ethernet/IP, and can develop custom integrations for proprietary systems. Our goal is seamless data flow across your entire technology ecosystem.
We can design software with offline capabilities where network reliability is a concern. The system can operate autonomously during connectivity issues, storing data locally and synchronising when the connection is restored. This is particularly important for manufacturing environments where production cannot stop due to network problems. We'll discuss your specific resilience requirements during the design phase.
We implement multiple layers of security including encrypted data transmission, role-based access control, secure authentication, audit trails, and regular security testing. For sensitive manufacturing processes, we can deploy on-premise solutions or use private cloud environments. All development follows secure coding practices and we provide detailed security documentation. Your intellectual property and production data are protected at all times.
Yes, scalability is a core design principle. Whether you're adding production lines, expanding to multiple facilities, or increasing user numbers, the software architecture supports growth. We use modular design patterns that allow functionality to be added incrementally. Cloud-based solutions can scale resources automatically, whilst on-premise systems are designed with future expansion in mind.
Comprehensive training is included with every software deployment. We provide on-site training for operators, supervisors, engineers, and administrators tailored to their specific roles. Training materials include user guides, video tutorials, and quick reference cards. We also offer refresher training sessions and can train new staff as your team grows. Our support team is available to answer questions after go-live.
Manufacturing requirements evolve, and we support ongoing development. After initial deployment, we can work on enhancements, new features, or modifications through flexible support agreements. Changes are prioritised and implemented using the same agile methodology. We maintain the codebase and provide regular updates. Our goal is a long-term partnership supporting your continuous improvement initiatives.
Yes, we design software to support compliance requirements including ISO 9001, ISO 14001, HACCP, FDA regulations, and industry-specific standards. The software can automate record-keeping, enforce approval workflows, maintain audit trails, and generate compliance reports. We've worked with auditors and understand what's required for certification. Your quality management system will be strengthened by purpose-built software.
Costs vary significantly based on complexity, features, integrations, and deployment requirements. A basic production tracking system might start from £15,000-£30,000, whilst comprehensive MES solutions typically range from £50,000-£200,000+. We provide detailed proposals with transparent pricing after understanding your requirements. The investment typically generates ROI through improved efficiency, reduced waste, and better quality control. Contact us for a tailored quote.
We offer comprehensive post-deployment support including bug fixes, technical assistance, performance monitoring, and software updates. Support packages range from business-hours assistance to 24/7 critical support for continuous production environments. We provide both remote and on-site support when needed. Regular system health checks and proactive monitoring ensure issues are identified and resolved before they impact production.
