inqu - MES Analytics for faster production process

Manufacturing intelligence for decision-makers

For clear decisions: inqu.analytics

In manufacturing, competitiveness and profitability often depend on quick reactions and short-term adjustments. Yet crucial insights into ongoing processes are often missing. Running production without reliable figures is like steering through fog. Too often, companies only discover at the end of a shift what went wrong at the beginning. Excel sheets, paper notes, and gut feeling from experienced staff frequently replace clear, structured evaluations. But transparency is the key to efficient manufacturing. inqu.analytics is the powerful solution for capturing, visualizing, and analyzing production data in real time. It replaces gut feeling with solid insights and consolidates information from production planning, shopfloor operations, quality management, and other sources into one central platform.

Everything at a glance: production data live, connected, and automatic

Automated data preparation makes it easy to process further, display on dashboards, or forward to MES, ERP, and IIoT systems. Live dashboards ensure that everyone involved always has a clear view of the current production status – whether on shopfloor monitors, in the office, or on mobile devices via browser. The solution integrates machine and sensor data via MQTT, OPC UA, or REST and provides a clear notification system that automatically alerts users in case of deviations – via SMS, email, or chat. Recurring reports can be created automatically and distributed to relevant stakeholders. The result: reliable decision-making based on facts, enabling process optimization, early detection of bottlenecks, and efficient workflow control.
