Industries · Manufacturing
A connected supply chain, from supplier to shop floor to customer.
Manufacturers need tight control of materials, production costs and supplier risk, while plant systems keep running. iShield links ERP, plant and IT support, dealer and customer management, and shop-floor integration in one architecture.
The challenge
Supplier delays and price changes ripple through production plans.
Failures in plant IT and equipment stop production lines.
MES, machine and quality data rarely reach finance and planning in time.
Distributors and customers expect accurate quotes, orders and after-sales support.

Each platform runs standalone or together, connected through iShield Link. Start with the area that matters most and add the rest when you are ready.
