Mission
Make industrial operations legible, measurable and controllable. Every piece of data produced on the shop floor should support a decision — otherwise it is not worth collecting.
About us
WPQM Manufacturing is an industrial IT services company. We support factories and production sites in digitalising their operations, from architecture study through to go-live and knowledge transfer.
Vision
A high-performing factory is not the one with the most software, but the one whose systems talk to each other. We believe in open, standardised and documented architectures that outlive the people who built them.

Values
Shop floor first
Our specifications are written beside the lines, with operators and setters, not only in meeting rooms.
Standards and interoperability
ISA-95, ISA-88, OPC UA: we favour what is documented and reproducible over what is proprietary and opaque.
Knowledge transfer
A successful project is one your teams can evolve on their own. Documentation and training are part of the scope.
Honest measurement
We agree the success indicators before kick-off and publish them at the end, including when they disappoint.
Industrial expertise
Industrial expertise
Our consultants come from production, automation and industrial IT. They speak both languages: that of the shop floor and that of the information system.
- MES architecture and ERP integration (SAP, Dynamics, Sage)
- ISA-95 and ISA-88 standards and industrial data models
- Shop floor connectivity: OPC UA, Modbus, MQTT, Siemens and Rockwell controllers
- Regulatory traceability: food, pharmaceutical, medical devices
- Statistical process control and OEE calculation
- CMMS, asset management and condition-based maintenance
01 — 05
How we run a project
Five stages, defined deliverables for each, and a decision gate in between. You can stop the project at the end of any of them.
Scoping and assessment
Mapping of flows, existing systems and breaking points. Shop floor interviews and a survey of the data actually available.
Target architecture
Definition of the ISA-95 levels involved, the interfaces and the data model. Trade-off between off-the-shelf products and custom development.
Pilot line prototype
Implementation on a narrow, measurable scope. Confronted with real conditions before any roll-out commitment.
Progressive roll-out
Line by line or site by site, with data migration, team training and fallback procedures.
Operation and continuous improvement
Handover to internal teams, indicator reviews and a roadmap. Support through version upgrades.
