    Manufacturing & Asset Performance

    MES, EAM, quality and PLM with OT bridge — one model from design to plant-floor execution.

    Run discrete and process manufacturing on iShield One — MRP, MES, Plant Maintenance, EAM, Quality and PLM — with the iShield Link OT Bridge speaking OPC-UA, MQTT and Modbus. Nexus SecOps applies Purdue-zone guardrails.

    What it does

    Core capabilities

    Design-to-make

    PLM BOMs flow to MRP and MES with revision control.

    OEE in real time

    Plant telemetry normalised, anomalies on availability & quality.

    EAM lifecycle

    Preventive, predictive and condition-based maintenance.

    OT/IT security

    Purdue zoning, unidirectional gateways, OT asset CMDB.

    What it composes

    Modules included across iShield

    This solution is not a single module — it composes capabilities from across Nexus, Connect, One, Link and iShieldGRC to deliver the outcome.

    Why this composition

    OEE, predictive maintenance and quality investigations all need the same asset and PLM context. Run MES, EAM, Quality and PLM together and the same revision-controlled BOM drives execution, maintenance triggers and CAPA — closed-loop across IT and OT.

    How it works

    Reference data flow across iShield

    A single record moves across iShield Nexus, Link, One and Connect — with GRC evidence captured at every step.

    1
    iShield Nexus

    Captures the request, ticket, asset or risk record in the workflow engine and CMDB.

    2
    iShield Link

    AI agents enrich, score and route the record under residency, PII and approval guardrails.

    3
    iShield One

    Financial, procurement or supply-chain impact is posted to the system of record in iShield One.

    4
    iShield Nexus

    Outcome, SLA and KPI are written back so dashboards and reporting reflect closed-loop reality.

    iShield GRC

    Regulatory & framework coverage

    Out-of-the-box control mappings managed by the iShield Nexus Risk & Compliance (GRC) module.

    Why iShield

    How iShield wins this category

    vs ServiceNow

    Sovereign-cloud deployment in KSA and UAE with NCA-aligned key custody — no Azure-region workaround required.

    vs SAP / Oracle

    Workflow-first composable model — no multi-year re-implementation to change a process.

    vs Salesforce

    One platform across CRM, ITSM, GRC and ERP — no per-cloud licensing stack.

    vs Best-of-breed stack

    iShield Link enforces residency, PII and consent across products so guardrails are systemic, not per-tool.
