Connecting ERP to the Shop Floor in Manufacturing
By Techomaxx Team · January 7, 2027 · ERP
Shop-floor systems generate real-time data from machines and sensors, while ERP systems are built around transactional records, and bridging the two requires careful handling of data volume and timing.
We typically use a middleware layer that aggregates high-frequency machine data into meaningful summaries before it reaches the ERP, rather than flooding it with raw sensor readings.
This gives production managers real-time visibility in the ERP without overwhelming it, and lays the groundwork for predictive maintenance features later.
