Production applications
Tools for capturing, organizing, and presenting operational information around defined business rules.
Manufacturing & Industrial Software · Michigan & beyond
Make production information usable.
Manufacturing teams need information that reflects what is happening on the floor. BTS builds the software and data layer around production workflows: applications, dashboards, database systems, and integrations that connect operational information.
Where we can help
Start with the problem.
- 01
Production information is scattered across spreadsheets and separate systems.
- 02
Teams need a clear dashboard of work, status, or exceptions.
- 03
Labeling and traceability workflows need to connect with business data.
- 04
Equipment or existing applications produce data that needs to reach other systems.
What BTS builds
The pieces of a useful solution.
Data integration
Connections between accessible equipment data, databases, and business systems, subject to interface and vendor constraints.
Dashboards and workflows
Views and actions that help staff understand status, investigate exceptions, and complete the next step.
Example project scope
A practical manufacturing example
An example engagement could connect job records and production events to a traceability database and an operations dashboard. The first step is checking data availability and shop-floor requirements, then defining how records are validated and which exceptions need attention.
Working together
Direct access to your software engineer.
On-site discovery is available throughout Michigan. We can observe the process, review spreadsheets and system interfaces, and work with your operations team or automation integrator to establish the software requirements.
Work directly with Ryan Bertram from discovery through deployment. BTS is based in Michigan, offers on-site discovery throughout the state, and collaborates remotely with organizations across the U.S. Travel for larger projects can be discussed during scoping.
Common questions
Before we start.
Do you provide controls engineering?
BTS focuses on software, applications, integrations, and data. PLC programming, machine safety, and controls engineering should remain with the appropriate controls specialists.
Can you work alongside our integrator?
Yes. BTS can contribute the application, API, database, or reporting portion of a project alongside an automation integrator, engineering firm, or internal team.
