Manufacturing

Technology that runs as hard as your production line

From ERP and MES to IoT-connected shop floors and AI-driven quality control, we build and integrate the systems that help manufacturers produce more, waste less, and scale confidently.

End-to-end manufacturing technology solutions

Purpose-built systems that connect your shop floor to your top floor — from raw materials to finished goods to financial reporting.

Manufacturing ERP Implementation. Implement Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central or Finance & Operations with production planning, BOM management, inventory control, and integrated financials configured for manufacturing workflows.

Production Planning and Scheduling. Optimize production schedules with capacity planning, material requirements planning (MRP), finite scheduling, and real-time order prioritization to maximize throughput and reduce lead times.

Manufacturing Execution Systems. Track work orders, machine status, operator performance, and work-in-progress in real time with MES platforms that bridge the gap between planning and production.

IoT and Smart Factory Integration. Connect sensors, PLCs, and equipment to your enterprise systems for real-time production monitoring, automated data collection, and live OEE dashboards.

Supply Chain Optimization. Streamline procurement, vendor management, demand forecasting, and logistics with integrated supply chain solutions that reduce costs and improve delivery reliability.

Quality Management Systems. Implement quality control workflows with inspection plans, non-conformance tracking, CAPA management, and full lot and serial traceability from raw materials to finished goods.

Predictive Maintenance. Use machine telemetry and AI to predict equipment failures before they happen, reducing unplanned downtime and extending asset lifecycles.

Inventory and Warehouse Management. Automate inventory tracking, warehouse operations, pick-pack-ship workflows, and cycle counting with barcode and RFID integration.

Manufacturing Analytics and BI. Build real-time dashboards and reporting for production KPIs, cost analysis, yield rates, scrap tracking, and executive-level operational visibility.

ERP Migration and Modernization. Migrate from Dynamics GP, NAV, or legacy ERP systems to modern cloud-based D365 platforms with proven methodology and minimal production disruption.

eCommerce and B2B Portals. Build B2B ordering portals, customer self-service platforms, and eCommerce storefronts integrated with your ERP for real-time inventory and pricing.

AI-Powered Manufacturing Intelligence. Apply AI for demand forecasting, defect detection, process optimization, and supply chain risk analysis using your production and operational data.

Types of manufacturers we serve

We understand that different manufacturing environments have different technology requirements — from make-to-stock to engineer-to-order.

Discrete Manufacturing. BOM-driven production, assembly operations, and make-to-stock or make-to-order workflows.

Process Manufacturing. Batch and formula-based production with yield tracking, potency management, and regulatory compliance.

Defense and Aerospace. ITAR-compliant systems with full traceability, quality documentation, and government contract management.

Food and Beverage. Recipe management, lot traceability, shelf-life tracking, and FDA compliance automation.

Automotive and Industrial. Just-in-time production, EDI integration, serial tracking, and supplier quality management.

Building Materials and Construction. Project-based costing, multi-site inventory, delivery scheduling, and contractor portal integration.

They bring a deep understanding of both the technical and business sides. They didn't just implement a system — they helped us rethink how we operate and gave us the tools to grow.

Frequently asked questions

What ERP systems does Aedista implement for manufacturers?

We implement Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations (F&O) for manufacturers, and we specialize in migrating manufacturers from legacy systems like Dynamics GP and Dynamics NAV to modern cloud-based D365 platforms. Our implementations cover production orders, BOM management, capacity planning, shop floor control, inventory management, and financial reporting, all configured specifically for manufacturing workflows.

How long does a manufacturing ERP implementation typically take?

A Dynamics 365 Business Central implementation typically takes 4 to 8 months for core modules including production, inventory, and financials. Finance and Operations implementations for larger multi-site manufacturers may take 8 to 14 months. We use a phased methodology that delivers core functionality first so operations are not disrupted.

Can you integrate IoT sensors and shop floor equipment with our ERP?

Yes. We build IoT integration layers that connect shop floor equipment, sensors, PLCs, and SCADA systems to your ERP and MES platforms, enabling real-time production monitoring, automated data collection, predictive maintenance alerts, and live OEE dashboards using Azure IoT Hub and custom middleware.

What is the difference between an ERP and an MES for manufacturing?

An ERP manages business-level operations including financials, procurement, inventory, sales orders, and production planning. An MES operates at the shop floor level, tracking real-time production execution, work-in-progress, machine status, quality checks, and operator assignments. We implement both and build the integration between them.

How does AI improve manufacturing operations?

AI enables predictive maintenance, demand forecasting, quality defect detection using computer vision, supply chain risk analysis, and energy optimization. We build these as extensions to your existing ERP and MES platforms, trained on your historical production and equipment data.

Do you support multi-site and multi-plant manufacturing environments?

Yes. We have extensive experience with multi-site manufacturers with complex inter-plant transfer, consolidated reporting, and centralized planning. Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations is well-suited for these environments with inter-company trading, centralized procurement, and consolidated financial reporting.

Can you migrate our legacy manufacturing system to a modern platform?

Yes. We have a proven methodology for migrating from Dynamics GP, Dynamics NAV, SAP, and custom-built systems to modern cloud platforms like Dynamics 365, including data assessment and cleansing, phased migration with validation checkpoints, parallel running, and post-migration support.

What manufacturing compliance and regulatory requirements do you support?

We support lot and serial traceability, ITAR compliance for defense manufacturers, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, ISO quality management documentation, and environmental and safety reporting, with audit trails, electronic signatures, and automated compliance reporting built in from the ground up.
