Digitize the shop floor with AI OCR and process sensors, choose the automation project that fits your process (robot automation, defect prediction or predictive maintenance), and run everything in ORCA MES.
Sensor data without PLCs
Focus on one automation project
All in ORCA MES
WHY SMART FACTORY
Does this sound like your factory?
Most shop-floor problems come from missing data. ORCA starts by collecting it, then applies AI to the one spot that hurts most.
Upload one purchase-order PDF and the sales order is done
The customer, items, quantities and due date AI reads are filled into the order screen. Your team just checks and saves.
Process sensorsNo PLC needed
Smart weight sensor
Measures topping and product weight and keeps it as process and quality data.
Current sensor
Tracks machine load and run/stop status without a PLC.
Photoelectric sensor
Detects products to count them and triggers vision capture or robot motion.
STEP 02 · Shop-floor automation
We don't do everything at once. We go deep on what hurts most
Smart factory automation doesn't stop at collecting data. Pick one project that fits your process and apply it in depth. Scope and integration are decided together after a site visit.
Best for · Processes with lots of repetitive work
Robot automation
Repetitive work goes to robots, work data goes to ORCA. Robots, sensors and MES in one flow.
6-axis collaborative robots (e.g. FR5)
AI vision for robots (object recognition)
Work results linked through ORCA AI Vision
STEP 03 · Unified operation in ORCA MES
Collected data and automation results, on one ORCA MES screen
Data from sensors, vision and robots flows into work results and LOT history, and AI carries on to documents and production plans.
※ Automation projects and some features (such as AI document generation) are applied during the build phase, depending on project scope and site conditions.
HOW WE WORK
Five steps from consultation to operation
Request a consultation
Tell us about your process and challenges.
Site & process review
We look at machines, workflow and data in person.
Choose the project
Pick one of three and we draft the setup.
Build & connect ORCA
Install sensors, vision and robots and link them to MES.
Unified operation
Run the shop floor from ORCA MES.
Frequently asked questions
How many automation projects do we choose?
You pick one of robot automation, defect prediction or predictive maintenance to fit your process. Lots of repetitive work points to robot automation, recipe and visual quality to defect prediction, and machine or tool care to predictive maintenance.
Can this be combined with a government or subsidy program?
We review the setup against the program's requirements and schedule. Tell us where you are when you request a consultation.
Can we collect data without PLCs?
Yes. Weight, current and photoelectric sensors let you start collecting shop-floor data without building PLCs.
Can we buy the hardware or robots online?
No. Sensors, vision cameras, edge devices and robots need a site check, so they are offered through consultation only, under a separate contract from the online SaaS subscription.
