MULTI-SITE ROLL-OUT
One system. Every plant.
A system that works at one plant is a project. A system that a group deploys at a second plant, in a second country, is a platform. That distinction is the difference between buying a piece of software and adopting a standard - and it is the question group engineering functions are really asking.
Every plant different, nothing comparable
Numbers that cannot be compared
Each site calculates OEE its own way, counts downtime differently and defines a "good" unit on its own terms. Benchmarking between plants becomes an argument about definitions rather than performance.
Every deployment a fresh project
Without a shared platform, each site's system is specified, built and supported separately - paying the full cost of discovery and development again every time.
Group reporting assembled by hand
Monthly consolidation becomes a spreadsheet exercise performed by people who should be running plants, and the figures arrive too late to act on.
Knowledge that does not transfer
What one site learns stays there. Different systems mean no shared training, no shared improvements and no reuse of work already paid for once.
We have already done this
Our MES runs the production floor at a tire-reinforcement plant in Central Europe, covering the full process from wire drawing through plating. The group then chose the same system for a second plant, in another country, which is being brought onto it now.
That second decision is the one that matters. It was not made on a demonstration - it was made by people who had lived with the first deployment.
How a group roll-out runs
Each site costs less and takes less time than the one before, because the core is already built and proven.
What transfers between sites
What never transfers
Anyone who tells you a roll-out is pure copy-paste has not done one.
Localisation
Operator interfaces in the language of the floor, management reporting in the language of the group. We have built exactly this.
Programme governance
One point of contact for the group, a defined roll-out schedule, and a consistent way of running each site deployment.
Framework agreement
Pre-agreed per-site terms and a committed schedule, so each new plant is an execution decision rather than a fresh procurement.
Group support model
Each site operated and maintained under one service agreement, with group-level rates rather than site-by-site negotiation.
DISCUSS A GROUP ROLL-OUT
Tell us how many sites, where they are and what they run today. We can also arrange a conversation with a plant already running our system.
