"It's somewhere in the yard."
Sheets, drops and remnants live in people's heads. Jobs wait while someone walks the racks, and you re-order metal you already own.
For metal manufacturers · Epicor or any API-first ERP
Manufacturing execution, future-proofed.
HMC forward-deploys with your team to build a custom MES and inventory system connected to your machines and your ERP. Run Epicor as your system of record, or plug into any API-first ERP. Your floor runs the way it actually works.

3D view needs WebGL. Here's the short version: every rack, level and stack, mapped to an ERP bin and updated as sheets move.

Sound familiar?
Your ERP knows what you planned.
Your floor knows what actually happened.
Labor hits the ERP a day late.
Paper travelers and end-of-shift data entry mean costing, scheduling and WIP are always looking backwards.
Go-live keeps slipping.
Generic implementations bend your process to the software. The floor pushes back, adoption stalls, and the spreadsheets come back.
What we build
One system for the floor. Your ERP underneath.
Custom MES
Operator stations for fabrication, assembly and receiving. Configure Methods of Manufacturing, stream machine events, and post labor, scrap and quantities to the job the moment they happen.
Inventory Management
3D maps of every rack, bin and remnant, tied to your ERP's warehouses and bins. Find it, pick it, issue it. No walking the yard.
Applied AI
An assistant that reads and writes Epicor: answers questions, analyzes jobs, and posts approved changes back. Plus experimental laser nesting.
Cloud Control Plane
One security and operations layer across GCP, AWS and Azure. Identity, secrets, policy and audit for every app you run.
Integrations
Connects to what you already run.
Epicor is optional. Use it as your system of record and we go deep, or bring any API-first ERP. Either way, your machines stream straight into the same system.
Epicor Kinetic
Native integration with jobs, Methods of Manufacturing, warehouses, bins and labor, plus forward-deployed onboarding to get you live faster.
Any API-first ERP
If your ERP exposes an API, we integrate with it. The same MES, inventory and leaderboards, synced to the system you already trust.
Salvagnini
We capture machine events from Salvagnini equipment and stream them to the cloud and into operations: cycles, part counts, alarms and utilization, in real time.
Watch it runMachine integration · Salvagnini
Watch the machine. Stream every event.
We connect to Salvagnini equipment and capture every cycle, bend, part count and alarm the moment it happens, then stream it to the cloud, your MES, your ERP and the screens on the floor.
- Edge gateway captures machine events in real time
- Streamed to GCP, AWS or Azure for history and analytics
- Counts post to the job automatically, no manual entry
- Live utilization and downtime on dashboards and leaderboards

3D view needs WebGL. In short: every cycle, bend, part count and alarm from your Salvagnini equipment streams to the cloud, your MES and your ERP in real time.
Illustrative model · simulated machine events
3D weld guidance · SolidWorks
Put the 3D model in the welder's hands.
Our app ingests SolidWorks sub-assemblies and turns them into interactive 3D at the weld cell. Welders explode the assembly, check every part against the BoM, and follow the weld sequence joint by joint for faster fit-up and less rework.

Make throughput visible. Watch it climb.
Pounds processed, parts completed and moves made, ranked live from the transactions your team already records. Put it on the TV by the brake press and see what friendly competition does to a shift.

Applied AI · Epicor read/write
AI that reads and writes Epicor.
Not a chatbot on the side. The HMC assistant works directly against Epicor's business objects. It reads your live data, analyzes jobs, and writes approved changes back.
- READLive Epicor data
Jobs, operations, parts, bins, POs and labor, queried in plain English.
- ANALYZEJob analysis
Late-job risk, capacity, shortages and BoM checks across every open job.
- WRITEChanges back to Epicor
Reschedule operations, create POs, post labor and update methods, with approval and a full audit trail.
Not on Epicor? The same assistant works through any API-first ERP.
Experimental · Laser nesting
Nest programming, automated.
Our experimental nesting engine optimizes nests for BoM demand and automates nest programming. Open job requirements go in; an optimized, laser-ready program comes out, with no manual programming in between.

3D view needs WebGL. The nesting engine still runs: the BoM demand, generated program and nest stats are below.

The HMC method
We don't hand you software. We deploy with you.
-
1
Walk the floor
Our engineers come on-site and trace how material, labor and paperwork really move, from receiving to ship.
-
2
Map it to your ERP
Parts, Methods of Manufacturing, warehouses, bins and labor, set up in Epicor or your API-first ERP to match how you build.
-
3
Build and deploy
Custom MES and inventory screens, shipped in short cycles and tested by your operators on real jobs.
-
4
Run and improve
Dashboards, leaderboards and AI on top of clean data. We stay on as your technology partner.
Cloud control plane
Security that covers every cloud.
One pane of glass for identity, secrets, network policy and audit across GCP, AWS and Azure, so your MES, machine data and AI are as secure as they are fast.
Explore the control plane- Identity & SSO
