Industrial Automation for Aerospace & Automotive Manufacturing
High-precision manufacturing supervision for aerospace assembly lines and automotive production. Traceability, quality control, and production optimization.
Aerospace and automotive manufacturing demand the highest standards of traceability, quality control, and production efficiency. Every assembly step must be documented, every deviation traced, and every batch tracked from raw material to final delivery. OperaMetrix brings deep expertise in Siemens PLC programming, assembly line optimization, and SCADA integration for these exacting industries. Our work with Airbus subcontractors, Bayer Seeds, and glass manufacturer Verallia demonstrates our ability to deliver in high-stakes production environments.
Key Challenges
Full Production Traceability
Aerospace regulations (AS9100, NADCAP) require complete documentation of every process step, operator action, and material batch.
Assembly Line Throughput
Meeting production targets while maintaining zero-defect quality requires real-time OEE monitoring and bottleneck identification.
Legacy PLC Modernization
Many production lines run aging Siemens S5/S7 or Allen-Bradley PLCs. Modernizing control without stopping production is critical.
Dynamic Factory Displays
Production teams need real-time visibility on line status, fault alerts, and KPIs directly on the shop floor.
Our Solutions
PLC Revamping & Integration
Reverse engineering of existing PLC programs, migration to modern controllers, and integration with Ignition SCADA — all with minimal production downtime.
Production Tracking & OEE
Real-time OEE calculation per line, shift, and product with drill-down into availability, performance, and quality losses.
Factory Floor Displays
Large-screen production dashboards showing real-time line status, fault visualization, and KPIs accessible from any web browser.
Quality & Batch Genealogy
Track every component, operator, and process parameter per serial number for complete AS9100 or IATF 16949 compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can OperaMetrix work with Siemens PLCs?
Yes. Siemens is one of our core competencies. We have extensive experience with S7-300/400/1200/1500, TIA Portal, and Step 7, including reverse engineering of legacy S5 programs.
How does Ignition integrate with MES systems?
Ignition connects to MES systems via SQL databases, REST APIs, or direct OPC UA communication. The Sepasoft MES modules add native production, OEE, and batch tracking capabilities directly within Ignition.
