Manufacturing
Custom manufacturing softwaredevelopment and AI services.
Building a new plant system, or replacing the spreadsheets and paper still running the floor?
Corpvance builds production and quality management tools, maintenance systems, operator interfaces, and AI for predictive maintenance, inspection support, and production planning. We integrate with your ERP, MES, historians, and PLC data so plant and business systems finally share the same numbers.
A small senior team. You work directly with the engineers building your product.

Market Context
Plants collect the data but rarely reach the decision
Historians, PLCs, and quality systems already capture what a plant needs. The difficulty is getting it in front of the people who schedule work and call maintenance.

These are engineering problems. Signals trapped in historians, quality records kept on paper, and plant systems that never reach the business ones. All of them are fixable in software.
Who we build manufacturing software for
Requirements change depending on who owns the workflow. These are the organizations Corpvance works with, and what they usually need built.
Discrete manufacturers
Plants assembling products where scheduling, quality records, and traceability still depend on spreadsheets and paper travellers.
Production tracking · Quality records · Traceability
- Production tracking
- Quality records
- Traceability
Process manufacturers
Continuous and batch operations where yield, consistency, and downtime are the numbers that matter most.
Batch records · Yield analysis · Process monitoring

Maintenance and reliability teams
Groups managing asset health across sites with historian data they cannot easily turn into a maintenance decision.
Predictive maintenance · Work orders · Asset dashboards

Quality and compliance teams
Teams recording inspections, non-conformances, and corrective actions in systems that make reporting harder than it should be.

Industrial technology companies
Product companies selling hardware or software into plants, where engineering capacity sets the roadmap.

Not sure which of these fits your organization? A short scoping call is usually enough to tell whether the work is a new build, an integration, or a modernization.
What Corpvance builds for manufacturing
We can build a new plant system from the ground up, extend the platforms you already run, or replace the manual work sitting between them.
Operational products built around how your plant actually runs rather than a vendor's template.

How a manufacturing project runs
The hard parts on a plant floor are data quality and integration, so we settle those before the build scales.
- 01
Scope
We map the workflow, the systems and assets it touches, and what operators record by hand today. You get a written scope and an architecture direction.
- 02
Signal check
We assess what your historians, PLCs, and quality systems actually capture, and whether the signal supports the outcome you want.
- 03
Design
Interface and data model decisions, reviewed with operators, maintenance leads, and quality staff who will use them on shift.
- 04
Build
Short delivery cycles with a working environment you can test against real plant data.
- 05
Launch and support
Testing, security review, and a rollout planned line by line, then continued development or a full handover to your team.
We assess signal quality before committing to a prediction target, because a model is only as good as what the plant already measures.
Build something new, or modernize what you already run
Manufacturing engagements start in one of two places, and Corpvance delivers both. Many projects turn out to be a mix.
Build from scratch
For a new plant capability, a new product, or a workflow with no system behind it today. We handle product design through to production.
- Production and quality systems
- Maintenance platforms
- Operator and shop-floor apps
- Sensor and IoT data pipelines
- Greenfield architecture
- Rollout and scaling support
Modernize and automate
For systems that work but rely on paper, spreadsheets, and manual re-keying. We improve them in stages so production continues uninterrupted.
- Interface and UX redesign
- Cloud and hybrid migration
- ERP, MES, and historian integrations
- Replacing paper records
- Adding AI to existing products
- Performance and access control
Most engagements combine both: a new shop-floor product on one side, and integration with the plant and business systems around it on the other.
Frequently asked questions
Practical answers about scoping, compliance, integration, and how we measure success.
01Can Corpvance build a manufacturing system from scratch?
Yes. That covers product design, software development, AI development, backend systems, integrations, cloud infrastructure, testing, and deployment. We also handle the parts teams tend to underestimate, including offline behaviour on the shop floor, role-based access, and the operational tooling needed to run the system across shifts.
02Can you modernize our existing plant systems?
Yes, and it rarely needs to happen all at once. We can rebuild specific workflows, redesign the interface, improve performance, migrate infrastructure, or replace the platform in stages. Incremental modernization is usually the right call, because production does not stop while a system is being replaced.
03Can you integrate with our ERP, MES, and historians?
Yes. We work with ERP APIs, MES and SCADA connections, historian and time-series data, OPC UA and PLC feeds, and quality or LIMS systems. Most plant projects fail at this layer rather than at the model, so we confirm what each system actually exposes before committing to a design.
04Can AI work with older PLCs and historians?
Often yes, through existing OPC and historian connectors into a data lake or warehouse. The real question is not age but signal: sampling rate, sensor coverage, and how failures were recorded historically. We assess that before committing to a prediction target rather than promising accuracy up front.
05Do we need a full digital twin before manufacturing AI helps?
No. Most plants start with one critical asset class or a single inspection station where downtime or scrap is already measured, then widen the scope once the approach holds up. Waiting for a complete model of the plant before building anything is the most common reason these projects never start.
06How do you keep models from creating alarm fatigue?
Thresholds are tuned with maintenance leads rather than set from model output alone, duplicate alerts are suppressed, and every alert carries the context needed to act on it. An alert that does not tell an operator what to do next is noise, and once people start ignoring alerts the system is worse than nothing.
07Can you build operator interfaces for the shop floor?
Yes. Shop-floor software has different constraints from office software: gloves, glare, poor connectivity, and shift handovers. We design for tablets and fixed terminals with large touch targets, offline tolerance, and workflows that survive an interrupted shift.
08Who owns the code and the intellectual property?
You do. Ownership of the source code and associated intellectual property transfers to you, along with repositories, infrastructure configuration, and documentation. We do not retain licensing rights over what we build for you, and we do not resell client work as a product.
09Can you work alongside our existing engineering or automation team?
Yes. We can own a workstream end to end, extend an in-house team on specific parts of the build, or take responsibility for a subsystem such as the data pipeline or the operator interface. Where a controls team owns the plant floor, we work to their boundaries rather than around them.
10How do we start?
A short call to understand the workflow, the assets and systems involved, and what is driving the project. From there we move into a discovery engagement that produces a written scope, an architecture direction, and a clear plan for the build.
