At delaware, we help companies succeed in a fast-changing industry by using our expertise in a wide range of key domains and cutting-edge technologies - providing value from the shop floor to the top floor. We specialize in end-to-end digital transformation, helping companies optimize their operations, improve agility, and achieve long-term success.
Our capabilities span ERP systems (SAP, Microsoft, and Salesforce), ensuring seamless integration and efficiency across all business processes. Next, we implement Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), production planning systems (PP), and other critical tools to streamline operations and improve resource utilization.
In the world of customer interaction and online presence, we deliver web and mobile applications, CRM systems, and e-commerce platforms that enhance customer interactions and drive growth. These solutions integrate seamlessly with backend systems, creating a unified and efficient digital ecosystem.
To stay ahead of innovation, we incorporate vision ML, AI models & MLOps toolchains, enabling advanced analytics, predictive maintenance, and quality control through image recognition and data insights.
A significant focus of our offering lies in transforming shop floor operations through a composable shop floor and OT-IT architecture. We bridge the gap between operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) by implementing scalable and modular solutions that align with modern manufacturing needs. Our approach emphasizes flexibility, allowing manufacturers to adapt their systems as they grow, ensuring future-proof operations.
We excel in data modeling and integration, ensuring that data from the shop floor is contextualized and made actionable in real-time. By adhering to standards like ISA-95 and leveraging unified namespace (UNS) architectures, we create a foundation for seamless data exchange between OT and IT systems. This enables manufacturers to achieve greater visibility across their operations and make data-driven decisions that enhance efficiency and productivity.
Through our holistic approach of Shop Floor digital transformation, We help organizations go beyond isolated projects and build a clear, unified strategy that connects people, processes, and technologies. From modernizing legacy systems to integrating advanced analytics, we help manufacturers unlock the full potential of Industry 4.0.
Product:
Within our digital transformation offerings, it’s our mission to empower industrial organizations to overcome critical challenges in their journeys. We address the limitations of legacy MES systems, which are often burdened by inflexible monolithic structures and ad-hoc customizations that compromise core cleanliness. By advocating for composable, modular OT/IT architectures, we help customers build systems that are future-proof, adaptable, and aligned with modern operational needs.
Shop Floor & Top Floor Integration
One of the key barriers we try to tackle is the gap between vertical layers (IT, OT, and Business) and horizontal divisions (areas, plants, and business units). Vertically, there is often a lack of integration between the shop floor and top-floor operations, leaving critical shop floor data isolated and underutilized. Businesses often make decisions without clear insights into their return on investment (ROI), which can lead to ongoing inefficiencies.
I4.0 Architectures
Many customers struggle with understanding their current I4.0 maturity level, hindering their ability to define a clear vision for their digital future. This lack of clarity often results in missed opportunities and an inability to see the bigger picture.
Additionally, evolving industry requirements, such as sustainability and transparency regulations, add further complexity, requiring robust solutions that address compliance while delivering measurable business value. delaware offers various services to tackle those problems & provide and implement solution architectures that are scalable & future-proof.
Vision & AI
Our vision ML and AI solutions bring advanced intelligence to the intersection of OT and IT, enhancing manufacturing processes and enabling data-driven decision-making. By making use of these technologies, we help organizations harness the power of data from the shopfloor, creating smarter, more efficient, and resilient operations.
Data management
Data management is another critical focus area. Legacy systems often fail to unify or clean data effectively, leading to inaccurate or untimely information. We advocate for standardized frameworks like ISA-95 and ISA-88 to maintain robust asset models and implement unified namespace (UNS) practices that ensure real-time, contextualized, and actionable data flow. Given our broad expertise and the growing importance of data in modern organizations, we have specialized teams dedicated to integrating data from various sources into a cloud data platform (such as Databricks and Azure Fabric) and applying various use cases & creating value.
Finally, we combat the challenges posed by vendor lock-in and point-to-point integrations. These outdated practices create "spaghetti" architectures that are neither scalable nor sustainable. By championing open architectures and modular, composable systems, we help organizations adopt flexible solutions that support long-term growth and innovation.
To conclude, it’s our goal to guide customers beyond basic MES implementations, helping them embrace end-to-end vertical and horizontal integration. With a clear understanding of their digital maturity, we enable them to see the forest for the trees and unlock the true potential of Industry 4.0.
