ERP doesn't know what the factory floor is doing. The floor doesn't know what's planned. And every integration in between is custom work that breaks on the next update. Meshnex builds the bridge that lasts from PLC to ERP, with one shared data layer.
Sales, planning, production, warehouse, shipping every system does its own job. But data flows through emails, Excel exports and manual re-typing. And every integration that does exist is a direct line between two systems: expensive to build, and nobody dares touch it.
Our architecture
We build on the Unified Namespace principle: every system from PLC to ERP publishes its data to one central layer and reads back from it. New systems connect once, not ten times. And every data point gets context immediately: which site, which line, which machine, which measurement.
ERP, MES, WMS, SCADA and the factory floor all connect to the same central layer. From 45 potential integrations down to 10.
Production data flows straight to the office, orders and planning flow straight to the floor. No exports, no re-typing.
Data is normalised and labelled the moment it arrives site, asset, measurement. Immediately usable for dashboards, analysis and AI.
MQTT, OPC UA and open data formats. No vendor lock-in: any system that speaks standards can join now and in ten years.
No big-bang project. We build the bridge in steps that each deliver value on their own.
Step 1 — IT/OT assessment
We map your systems, networks and data flows. What already talks to what, where the manual work sits, where the risks are.
Step 2 — Architecture IT will approve
Network segmentation, read-only where possible, encrypted everywhere. Your IT manager gets the full design upfront including the NIS2 rationale.
Step 3 — First integration live
We start with the data flow that delivers most often production data to the ERP or orders to the floor. Working within weeks, not months.
Step 4 — Expand on the same foundation
Every next system connects to the existing layer. The architecture grows with you without starting over.
Under the hood
From protocol drivers on the edge to a secure API for your business systems. Open standards throughout — the same stack on edge and cloud, with store-and-forward so no data is ever lost.
What we deliver
Standard stack where possible, custom where needed. Everything from one team hardware, software and the integration in between.
Who it's for
IT-OT integration touches the whole company so we build for all three at once.
Finally an OT connection you can defend: segmented network, encrypted connections, full documentation and audit trails. You stay in control.
Orders appear on the floor instantly, confirmations flow back automatically. No re-typing, no lost paperwork, no arguments about quantities.
One truth across the company: from order to delivery, trackable in real time. And a data foundation ready for the AI step without rebuilding everything.
Most IT companies won't touch the factory floor. Most automation firms don't know the IT world. We do both every day.
From Siemens S7 and Beckhoff ADS to REST and cloud one team covering the whole chain, no subcontractors.
MQTT, OPC UA, open formats. Your data stays yours, and any future system can plug in.
The first integration proves its value within weeks. Then the architecture grows with your ambition.
NIS2 and GDPR compliant from the first design. Read-only towards machines where possible, encrypted everywhere.
From scanner to server configuration: we deliver, install and maintain the whole. One point of contact, no finger-pointing.
Where enterprise IT thinks in six month roadmaps, we ship a working integration inside the first weeks. You see the value before you sign the next phase and decide whether to keep going based on results, not slides.
The questions IT, production and management ask before starting.
An architecture principle where all systems from PLC to ERP publish their data to one central, structured data layer. Instead of dozens of direct integrations between systems, each system connects once. That makes integrations cheaper, more robust and future-proof.
No. The whole approach is built to connect existing systems: your current ERP, MES, WMS and machines stay in place. We build the layer in between.
In principle any system with an API, database or export capability including SAP, Exact, AFAS and industry specific packages. For legacy systems without a modern interface, we build the integration ourselves.
Yes. Edge devices, barcode and QR scanners, cameras, label printers, sensors and network components we supply, mount and connect everything. One party for the entire project.
Security is the design principle, not an afterthought: network segmentation between IT and OT, read-only machine connections where possible, encrypted connections, role-based access and full audit trails. Your IT team gets all documentation upfront.
MeshOS is our packaged platform that delivers the data layer, dashboards and reports as standard the fastest route. For situations beyond that, we build custom on the same open architecture. Often it's a combination.
The first working integration is usually live within a few weeks. From there we expand step by step, at the pace that fits your organisation. No year long big-bang implementation.
