Manufacturing automation
From the plant floor to the dispatch dock.
Automation for manufacturing plants: machine and production data and OEE on the shop floor, quality and maintenance workflows, and the back office from order to dispatch. Each project is built to order for its plant.
Start with one line or one process. A person replies within one working day.
Example data, not a real plant.
What it covers
Four areas of the plant, one way of working.
The shop floor, quality and maintenance, and the back office, plus custom projects for what a plant does its own way. Start with one area and add the next.
01 · Shop floor
Shop-floor automation
Machine and production data from every line, turned into OEE and production tracking that the shift can see while it can still act.
- Machine and production data, line by line
- OEE from availability, performance and quality
- Production tracking, shift by shift

Line 2 · Assembly, running slow540 of 800
Line 3 · Packing680 of 800

02 · Quality and maintenance
Quality and maintenance
Inspections, non-conformances and preventive maintenance run as workflows, so a held lot or a service that is due does not wait in someone's inbox.
- Inspections and their results
- Non-conformances, held and reviewed
- Preventive maintenance workflows

Built to order
Built to order for each plant.
No two plants run the same way. We build around the way yours already works, starting with one line or one process, and take the next step when the first is in use.
Walk the floor
We walk the plant with your team: the lines, the checks and the paperwork between the floor and the office.
Agree the first line or process
Together we choose where to start, and agree what it should show and do.
Build
We build it around the way that line or process already works, with your team checking it on the floor.
Roll out line by line
Once the first is in use, the same work moves to the next line or process, one at a time.
Support
We stay on to support what we built, and adjust it as the plant changes.
Who it is for
For the people who run the plant, and the office behind it.
The floor and the back office work from the same picture: what was made, what was checked, what is due and what has shipped.
The whole plant at a glance
Output, downtime, OEE and dispatches for each line and shift, on one board.
Every line, shift by shift
Machine and production data and production tracking for the lines you run.
Checks and services on time
Inspections, non-conformances and preventive maintenance as workflows your teams follow.
The back office in step
Order to dispatch, inventory, procurement and approvals, without chasing the floor for answers.

Questions
Questions about manufacturing automation.
Short answers. For anything about your own plant, write to hello@hexab.in.
What does manufacturing automation from Hexabin cover?
Four areas. The shop floor: machine and production data, OEE and production tracking. Quality and maintenance: inspections, non-conformances and preventive maintenance workflows. ERP and back office: order to dispatch, inventory, procurement and approvals. And custom projects, built to order for each plant.
Can we see OEE for our lines?
Yes. Shop-floor automation uses machine and production data to show OEE and production tracking for your lines.
How are inspections and maintenance handled?
As workflows. Inspections and their results, non-conformances and preventive maintenance each follow a set path, so the people who need to act see what is waiting for them.
What does it cover in the back office?
The ERP and back-office work from order to dispatch, with inventory, procurement and approvals.
Is it a fixed package, or built for our plant?
Built for your plant. Each project is built to order: we walk the floor with your team, agree the first line or process, build it, roll it out line by line and support it.
Where do you work, and how do we start?
We work with companies in India, the UAE and Latin America, from our base in Chennai. To start, write to hello@hexab.in or use the Talk to us form.
