Five disciplines. One outcome.

Every Cadran engagement draws on five core disciplines — Engineering, AI Agents, Integration, Automation, and Innovation. No two projects combine them the same way. But every project is built to deliver a measurable result for your operations.

What we bring to every engagement

From architecture to deployment. Software built for the factory floor, not the demo stage.

Moving beyond fragmented tools and spreadsheets, we provide cloud-native platforms tailored to your operations.

Our team delivers full-stack applications—from backend architecture to user-friendly dashboards—built to integrate, scale, and thrive in 24/7 production environments.

Technologies
  • Custom software development for industrial and enterprise environments

  • System architecture and cloud-native design (AWS, Azure)

  • API development and microservices architecture

  • DevOps, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code

  • Legacy system modernization and migration

  • Production-ready applications — not prototypes

  • Technical architecture documents and API specifications

  • DevOps infrastructure that your team can maintain

  • System migration plans for moving off legacy platforms

See Engineering in action

Intelligent systems that augment your team — not replace it.

Your maintenance engineer knows that Machine 7 sounds different on Thursdays. Your sales lead knows which quote format closes faster. That kind of knowledge is trapped in people’s heads — and it walks out the door when they retire.

We build AI agents that capture, extend, and operationalize that knowledge. LLM-powered copilots that answer questions about your production data. Multi-agent systems that orchestrate complex workflows. RAG architectures that make your documentation searchable and actionable. Not generic chatbots — purpose-built agents trained on your domain.

Technologies
  • AI agent design, orchestration, and deployment

  • LLM fine-tuning and prompt engineering for industrial contexts

  • RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) for technical documentation

  • Multi-agent systems and workflow orchestration

  • Conversational AI and AI-powered decision support

  • Custom AI copilots that understand your machines, your products, and your processes

  • Knowledge base assistants that make decades of institutional expertise accessible to any operator

  • Automated reporting agents that generate shift summaries, compliance reports, and quality dashboards

  • Intelligent document processors that extract structured data from unstructured sources

See AI Agents

Connecting machines, systems, and people into one operational picture.

The average mid-sized manufacturer runs 6–12 disconnected systems: an ERP that doesn’t talk to the shop floor, SCADA data that lives in a local server, and IoT sensors that feed dashboards nobody checks. The result? Decisions made on yesterday’s data — or no data at all.

We connect everything. ERP to MES. Machines to cloud. Sensors to dashboards. We build the data pipelines and middleware that turn isolated systems into a unified operational platform — without ripping out what you already have.

Technologies
  • System-to-system integration (ERP, MES, SCADA, WMS)

  • IoT platform connectivity and edge computing

  • Middleware and enterprise service bus development

  • Data pipeline orchestration (batch and real-time)

  • OPC-UA, MQTT, and industrial protocol implementation

  • Integration architecture blueprints you can build on for years

  • A connected factory platform with real-time data flow from machine to management

  • IoT-to-cloud bridges that work with legacy equipment (HOMAG, Siemens, Beckhoff)

  • API ecosystems that let your systems share data securely

Book a Discovery Assessment

Fewer clicks, fewer errors, fewer bottlenecks. More time for the work that matters.

Your plant manager shouldn’t spend Monday mornings copying production numbers from one spreadsheet to another. Your quality team shouldn’t manually enter inspection results that a sensor already captured. These are the kinds of invisible time drains that automation eliminates.

We design and deploy process automation solutions that remove manual effort from repetitive workflows — from shop-floor data entry to document processing to cross-system reporting. Not just RPA bots, but intelligent automation that handles exceptions, adapts to variation, and gets smarter over time.

Technologies
  • Business process automation, optimization and workflow engine design

  • RPA implementation for industrial and enterprise processes

  • Intelligent document processing (OCR, NLP, classification)

  • Test automation frameworks for manufacturing quality systems

  • Industrial control logic and PLC/SCADA coordination

  • Automated workflows that cut manual processing time by 50–80%

  • Document processing systems that handle invoices, reports, and compliance forms at machine speed

  • End-to-end process optimization reports showing exactly where time was recovered

  • RPA bots that scale from one process to dozens without breaking

Start a Discovery Assessment

Validating tomorrow’s opportunities before you commit today’s budget.

Not every technology bet pays off. Digital twins looked promising two years ago — but were they right for your operation? AR-guided maintenance sounded compelling — but would your technicians actually use it?

Our Innovation practice exists to answer these questions before they become expensive mistakes. We scout emerging technologies, design rapid proofs of concept, and run structured experiments with your real data — so you can decide with evidence, not slide decks. When something works, we hand it to our Build teams to scale. When it doesn’t, you’ve lost weeks, not years.

Technologies
  • Technology scouting and evaluation for industrial applications

  • Rapid prototyping and MVP development

  • Innovation workshops and design thinking facilitation

  • Proof-of-concept development with real operational data

  • Emerging tech assessment (digital twins, AR/VR, blockchain, edge AI)

  • Innovation roadmaps grounded in your operational reality, not hype cycles

  • Proof-of-concept prototypes tested against your actual production data

  • Technology assessment reports with clear go/no-go recommendations

  • Workshop outcomes that align your leadership team on where to invest

How our Disciplines combine

Primary discipline (dedicated team allocation)
Secondary discipline (specialist input at key stages)
Phase
Analyze

Discovery

4-week structured assessment that maps opportunities, quantifies ROI, and delivers a go/no-go recommendation.

Analyze

Prototyping (AI POC)

5-week working prototype tested on your real data, infrastructure, and constraints — evidence for the scale decision.

Build

Machine Data & IoT

Connect industrial machines via OPC-UA, MQTT, and edge gateways — the data foundation everything else runs on.

Build

Predictive Maintenance (Energy)

AI on sensor data predicts equipment failures before they happen — downtime avoided, asset life extended.

Operate

MLOps & Scalability

Manage AI in production: monitoring, retraining, and deployment pipelines that prevent drift as you scale.

Operate

AI Security & Risk

Govern AI for compliance, bias, adversarial robustness, and audit — EU AI Act readiness built in.

scenario 01

Predictive Maintenance for a Woodworking Manufacturer

A mid-sized furniture manufacturer loses €200k/year to unplanned CNC breakdowns. We connect vibration and temperature sensors (Integration), build ML models that predict failure 48 hours in advance (AI Agents), and deploy the system on a real-time dashboard their maintenance team checks every morning (Engineering). Result: the manufacturer shifts from reactive repairs to scheduled interventions — cutting unplanned downtime and extending machine life.

PPWR Compliance Automation for a Packaging Company

A corrugated packaging producer faces the 2026 PPWR reporting deadline with no automated way to track recyclability scores across 200+ SKUs. We build a compliance engine (Engineering) that ingests data from their ERP and lab systems (Integration), uses AI to classify materials and generate LUCID reports automatically (AI Agents). Result: compliance goes from a quarterly fire drill to a continuous, auditable process.

Smart Grid Anomaly Detection for an Energy Utility

A regional DSO manages 12,000 km of cable and 400 substations with aging SCADA infrastructure. We pilot a transformer health model (Innovation) using 6 months of historical sensor data, validate it against known failure events, then deploy it into a live monitoring dashboard (AI Agents + Integration). Result: the utility identifies at-risk assets weeks before failure, shifting from time-based inspections to condition-based maintenance.
