Software that turns the shop floor into a connected, measurable system.
MES, ERP integration, industrial IoT, and predictive maintenance for Industry 4.0 operators.
Modern manufacturing runs on data the operator can see and trust: how each line is running right now, which machine is about to fail, where the downtime hour went, why this batch yielded below spec. Most operators have the data — it is locked in PLCs, historians, MES screens, ERP modules, and the heads of senior operators on the night shift. Buraq builds the software that unlocks it: MES platforms, OPC-UA / MQTT ingestion pipelines, predictive maintenance models, OEE dashboards, traceability systems, and the integrations that finally make the ERP, MES, and shop floor speak the same language. Whether you run a single discrete-manufacturing plant, a multi-site process operation, or a brand-owned contract-manufacturing network, we ship Industry 4.0 systems that survive the realities of the shop floor — humidity, vibration, intermittent network, and operators with strong opinions about new screens.
The problems we're built to solve.
Real-world blockers that prevent manufacturing businesses from scaling — and exactly how we eliminate them.
Data trapped in OT silos
Each line, each historian, each SCADA system tends to live in its own world — and the IT / OT divide makes it politically and technically hard to extract that data into systems that the wider business can use.
Aging plants, mixed equipment vintages
Most plants run a mix of brand-new robotics and twenty-year-old machine controllers. Software that demands modern protocols everywhere will fail; what is needed is pragmatic ingestion across vintages.
Real-time vs. batch ERP
Shop-floor execution happens by the second; ERP postings happen by the shift or day. Marrying the two requires a deliberate execution layer that owns reconciliation.
Operator adoption on the floor
Touchscreens that work with gloves, dashboards that survive the lighting on the floor, alerts that supervisors actually trust — these are make-or-break design choices.
Traceability and compliance
Regulated sectors (pharma, food, aerospace, automotive) demand genealogy, batch traceability, electronic batch records, and 21 CFR Part 11 / GS1 compliance baked in.
Solutions in production for manufacturing operators.
Proven deliverables we've shipped — built to integrate, scale, and return measurable value.
Manufacturing execution systems (MES)
Order release, work-instruction delivery, real-time WIP tracking, quality capture, electronic batch records, and as-built genealogy — sitting between the ERP and the shop floor.
Industrial IoT ingestion and historian
OPC-UA, MQTT, Modbus, and proprietary protocol ingestion into a time-series historian, with edge gateways for intermittent connectivity and downsampling policies for long-term retention.
OEE and production analytics
Real-time OEE (availability × performance × quality) calculation, downtime classification with operator capture, shift handover dashboards, and trend analytics that spotlight chronic loss.
Predictive maintenance
ML models trained on vibration, temperature, current, and acoustic signatures to predict failure windows on critical assets — with maintenance work-order generation in your CMMS.
Quality and traceability
SPC charts, in-line inspection capture, non-conformance workflows, batch genealogy from raw material to shipped unit, and the audit trail regulators require.
ERP / MES / shop-floor integration
Bidirectional integration between SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics, or Odoo and the execution layer — handling production orders, confirmations, scrap, and inventory movement deterministically.
The results operators see.
Measurable improvements delivered to manufacturing clients after working with Buraq.
Less unplanned downtime
Predictive maintenance combined with disciplined downtime classification typically cuts unplanned downtime by a quarter to a third within a year.
Real-time OEE everyone trusts
A single source of OEE truth — calculated the same way across lines, plants, and shifts — replaces spreadsheet warfare with shared facts.
Faster changeover and ramp
Digital work instructions and integrated quality capture compress new-product changeover and ramp-to-rate cycles.
Audit and traceability without panic
Batch genealogy and electronic batch records mean recalls, audits, and customer complaints are queries — not week-long investigations.
Vendor-neutral platform
Open protocols and open data models mean you are not locked into a single MES vendor's roadmap or pricing posture.
Patterns we've shipped for clients in this space.
Real implementations — not templates — tailored for manufacturing workflows.
Multi-plant OEE platform
Multi-plant OEE platform
Common OEE definition rolled out across multiple plants and lines, with shift-level dashboards on the floor and corporate roll-ups for the executive team — fed from PLCs, historians, and operator capture.
Predictive maintenance on critical assets
Predictive maintenance on critical assets
Vibration and current ML models on a defined critical-asset list, generating work orders into the CMMS with predicted failure window and recommended action.
Electronic batch records (EBR)
Electronic batch records (EBR)
21 CFR Part 11-compliant EBR for regulated production: parameter capture, deviation handling, e-signatures, and review-by-exception workflows that compress release time.
Connected worker platform
Connected worker platform
Tablet- and HMI-based work instructions, training acknowledgement, defect capture, and andon escalation — designed for floor conditions.
Sustainability and energy analytics
Sustainability and energy analytics
Per-unit energy attribution, scope-1 / scope-2 reporting, and energy-loss spotting using the same shop-floor data already flowing into the historian.
Outcomes we've delivered.
Numbers from live projects across the manufacturing vertical.
Built and rolled out a common OEE platform across eight plants and three production technologies, replacing eight different spreadsheets with one shared definition and dashboard.
Implemented an electronic batch record system with review-by-exception, eliminating most manual batch-record paperwork and compressing the QA release cycle.
Deployed predictive maintenance on a defined critical-asset list. Combined with disciplined downtime classification, the program paid for itself in the first quarter.
01Do you replace existing MES systems or sit alongside them?
Both. We have shipped greenfield MES for operators on a clean slate, and we have built modern dashboards, mobile apps, and integration layers on top of established MES (Wonderware, Rockwell FT Production Centre, GE Proficy) when replacing them wasn't justified.
02Which protocols can you ingest from the shop floor?
OPC-UA, OPC-DA, MQTT (including Sparkplug B), Modbus TCP / RTU, EtherNet/IP, Profinet, BACnet, and most major historian APIs (PI, Wonderware, Ignition). For older controllers we deploy edge gateways with the appropriate driver.
03Can you build predictive maintenance models?
Yes — vibration, current, temperature, and acoustic signatures on critical assets, validated against actual failure data. We are honest about what predictive maintenance can and cannot do: it works brilliantly on a defined critical-asset list, less well as a blanket policy.
04How do you handle the IT / OT boundary?
We design with the Purdue Reference Model in mind: edge gateways at level 2 / 3, a clear DMZ with one-way data diodes or strictly filtered firewalls, and zero unsolicited inbound traffic into OT. OT systems remain your OT team's responsibility.
05Do you integrate with SAP / Oracle / NetSuite / Odoo?
Yes — production orders, confirmations, goods movements, and inventory updates flow bidirectionally with deterministic reconciliation, idempotent posting, and an exception workbench.
06Can you support 21 CFR Part 11 or GxP environments?
Yes. We design for audit-trail completeness, e-signatures, change control, and the validation artifacts (URS, FS, DS, OQ, PQ) required for GxP environments. We work with your QA / validation team rather than replacing them.
