Shop-floor software for plants that cannot afford to stop

Since 2010 we have written software that sits beside the machines — for Havells, Cipla, Dabur, Philips and other manufacturers. Real-time monitoring, SCADA, HMI and production reporting, designed with the people who run the line.

What we deliver

Industrial Automation & SCADA services

SCADA, HMI and shop-floor software for manufacturing plants.

01

Custom SCADA systems

Real-time supervision and control of machines and lines, with alarms, trends and historical records.

02

HMI development

Clear operator screens that show what matters at a glance and reduce mistakes on the line.

03

Production monitoring

Live counts against targets, OEE, downtime reasons and shift reports — the core of Sofient VSMS.

04

Maintenance management

Breakdown logging, preventive maintenance schedules and spare-part tracking for maintenance teams.

05

Data analytics and reporting

Custom dashboards and scheduled reports that turn machine data into decisions.

06

ERP and MES integration

Machine data flows into ERP and planning systems, so production plans and actuals stay in step.

Where it fits

Typical projects

  • Assembly and packing lines
  • Pharma manufacturing and packaging
  • Energy and utility monitoring
  • Andon and alert boards

What we work with

  • Modbus
  • OPC UA
  • MQTT
  • Siemens / Allen-Bradley / Delta PLCs
  • .NET

We choose technology for long life and easy hiring, not trends, and we document it so your own team can take over if you choose.

Process

How a project runs

  1. Discover

    We sit with the people who will use the software — on the shop floor, at the front desk, in the accounts room — and write down how work actually happens today.

  2. Design

    Workflows, screens and data model are agreed on paper and in clickable prototypes before code is written, so surprises surface early and cheaply.

  3. Build

    Two-week agile sprints with a working demo at the end of each one. You see progress every fortnight, not at the end.

  4. Deploy

    Data migration, user training in Hindi, Punjabi or English, and a supervised go-live on your servers or the cloud.

  5. Support

    Annual maintenance, version upgrades and a named support contact. Most of our clients have been with us for years.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can you connect to our existing PLCs and machines?
In most cases, yes. We work with common industrial protocols such as Modbus and OPC UA, and with PLCs from major makers. Where machines have no interface, we add sensors or counters.
Will installation disrupt production?
We plan installation around shift changes and planned shutdowns, and run the new system in parallel before switching over.
Is this only for large plants?
No. We have systems running on single lines as well as across whole plants. Start with one line, prove the value, then extend.
