Sync ERPs, MES, and engineering systems. Exchange data with suppliers and customers. Get production data ready for analytics.
Manufacturing runs on systems that were never designed to work together. Your ERP tracks orders and costs. MES manages production. PLM holds product designs. Quality systems track defects. Each department has their own tools — and getting a complete picture means exporting data from everywhere and piecing it together manually.
When a customer asks for order status, someone checks three systems. When engineering changes a design, operations finds out too late. When you need to trace a quality issue, it takes days to gather the data.
Aquifer connects the systems manufacturers actually use. Sync your ERP with production and engineering systems. Exchange data with suppliers and customers automatically. Get your manufacturing data into your warehouse for analytics and reporting.
Keep SAP, Oracle, or your ERP in sync with your manufacturing execution system. Work orders, production counts, and material consumption flow automatically. No more manual production reporting.
Connect product data with your business systems. When engineering releases a new revision in Autodesk or your PLM, BOMs and routings update in your ERP automatically.
Quality inspections and non-conformances flow between production systems and quality management. Trace issues from defect to root cause without manual data gathering.
Labor hours, material usage, and production output flow from the shop floor into your ERP. Close the books with accurate production costs, not estimates.
Share forecasts, POs, and specifications with suppliers. Receive ASNs, quality certs, and invoices back — directly into your systems. No more supplier portals or email attachments.
Customers send orders and specifications. You send production status, quality data, and shipment notifications back. Both parties work in their own systems.
Share CAD files, specifications, and revision changes with manufacturing partners. Receive quotes and capability feedback. Keep everyone working from the same version.
On complex products with multiple tiers of suppliers, Exchange routes data to the right parties automatically. Tier 2 suppliers get the specs they need without accessing data they shouldn’t see.
Replicate data from your MES, ERP, and quality systems into your data warehouse. Build OEE dashboards and production reports without manual data collection.
Combine quality data from inspections, non-conformances, and customer returns. Identify trends and root causes across your entire operation.
Track supplier on-time delivery, quality metrics, and cost trends. All supplier data in one warehouse, ready for analysis.
Patterns we see at almost every customer in this industry — and what changes when the systems connect.
Supervisors enter production counts into the ERP at end of shift. Variances discovered days later.
Production data flows from MES to ERP automatically. Variances visible in real time.
Engineering releases new revision. Someone emails operations. BOM updates manually in ERP.
Revision release in PLM triggers automatic BOM update in ERP. Operations sees changes immediately.
Supplier sends quality certs by email. Someone files them. Finding them later takes hours.
Suppliers submit certs through Exchange. Data flows into your quality system, linked to the shipment.
Customer quality issue means days of gathering data from production, quality, and supplier systems.
All data in one warehouse. Trace from customer complaint to raw material supplier in minutes.
