Critical Manufacturing Innovation, SYSTEMA Precision
Implementing a manufacturing execution system (MES) in high-tech environments like semiconductor fabs requires more than just software, it requires a deep understanding of complex production workflows, equipment integration, and regulatory demands.
Just like two sides of the same wafer, Critical Manufacturing provides the MES infrastructure, while SYSTEMA ensures the precision implementation required to make the entire production process flow smoothly. Critical Manufacturing delivers a modern, modular MES platform that supports digital transformation across complex, high-tech discrete manufacturing industry verticals. By offering industry specific functionality, scalability, visibility, and real-time intelligence, their MES platform is ideal for manufacturers of semiconductors, electronics, medical devices, and industrial equipment.
Together with Critical Manufacturing, we empower manufacturers with comprehensive end-to-end MES implementation and migration services, including consulting, solution architecture, system configuration, and deployment. Leveraging SYSTEMA’s expertise in legacy MES migrations, the partnership enables manufacturers to effectively transition to the modern, modular Critical Manufacturing platform. Backed by deep domain knowledge and SYSTEMA’s hands-on involvement in project delivery by experts aligned with Critical Manufacturing’s methodologies, manufacturers gain a trusted partner to optimize operations in highly complex environments.
SYSTEMA Solutions for Critical Manufacturing
SYSTEMA partners with manufacturers to accelerate digital transformation and maximize the value of Critical Manufacturing’s MES. With decades of experience in complex, high-tech environments, we deliver solutions that connect people, processes, equipment, and systems across the enterprise. From integration and automation to optimization, visualization, and migration, SYSTEMA helps manufacturers to modernize operations, eliminate data silos, improve decision-making, and adopt Industry 4.0 capabilities with confidence.
Custom MES Development
For manufacturers with unique process requirements, SYSTEMA offers the flexibility to extend the capabilities of Critical Manufacturing’s MES through custom feature development, module enhancements, and tailored UI components. Our dedicated MES development teams collaborate closely with your internal stakeholders and the Critical Manufacturing platform team to implement custom logic and workflows and ensure version compatibility and upgrade safety through proven best practices and continuous testing.
Integration
SYSTEMA delivers comprehensive integration services that unify complex manufacturing environments by enabling information flow from equipment through MES to ERP and other shop floor systems. By automating data synchronization across manufacturing IT landscapes, we eliminate silos and ensure consistent, reliable data enterprise-wide. Our solutions support Industry 4.0 adoption through edge computing, IoT, and cloud integration while extending the life of legacy equipment by enabling real-time data collection and participation in modern, automated ecosystems without requiring costly hardware replacements.
Automation
SYSTEMA helps manufacturers transform manual business activities into orchestrated, software-controlled processes ranging from simple tasks to complex workflows by leveraging integrated tools like MES, workflow and rules engines, and real-time event processing. This includes implementing paperless workflows to ensure traceability and transparency, streamlining standardized business processes across multiple manufacturing sites to enable consistent monitoring, aligned productivity, and smoother audits, digitizing operational systems (such as MES, SPC, RMS, FDC, R2R) to enhance tracking and cost visibility, and eliminating redundant manual activities through comprehensive process definition and automation.
Optimization
SYSTEMA supports manufacturers to maximize manufacturing efficiency, throughput, Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), yield, and quality through continuous monitoring, analysis, and iterative tuning of manufacturing processes. This process involves identifying and managing constraints such as bottlenecks, maintenance needs, or high-mix workflows, to unlock optimal production capacity.
Migration
SYSTEMA’s migration services help manufacturers transition critical business processes, legacy MES platforms, and IT systems without disrupting active production. We specialize in highly complex environments where downtime is costly and risk must be minimized. Our team works closely with manufacturers to assess current systems, define a clear “to-be” architecture, and develop a tailored migration strategy—whether through phased rollouts, parallel operations, new-production ramp-ups, or knife-edge cutovers. By combining deep domain expertise with proven methodologies, SYSTEMA ensures smooth transitions that maintain operational continuity, safeguard data integrity, and position manufacturers to leverage Critical Manufacturing’s MES platform and Industry 4.0 capabilities with confidence.
