Get clarity before your next MES move
Before you commit to MES or plant-wide upgrades, Digital Factory Discovery gives you a guided, half-day walkthrough of your operation with experts who work in Proficy every day. You get a clear view of where to start, what to prioritize, and where software can improve throughput, efficiency, quality, and on-time delivery—so your next step is confident, not experimental.
What Digital Factory Discovery is
Digital Factory Discovery is an on-site assessment designed to help manufacturers evaluate where MES and related software can create measurable business value before a larger investment is made. Instead of starting with software features, the process starts with your operation, your constraints, and the realities of how work and data move across the plant floor.
Who it’s for
This offer is built for plant leaders, operations teams, engineering leaders, and IT stakeholders who need a practical starting point for digital transformation without jumping straight into a full MES rollout. It is especially useful when teams know there are issues around downtime, scrap, visibility, labor efficiency, or on-time delivery, but need a clearer path forward.
How it works
Before the visit:
- Intro call to understand your operation, current systems, and top issues such as downtime, scrap, labor, or visibility gaps.
- Alignment on the goals of the visit, the scope of the walkthrough, and the right people to involve so the discussion stays focused.
During the half-day walkthrough:
- Side-by-side review of your lines to see how production and data flow through the operation today.
- Practical discussion of where Proficy and related tools could fit, where bottlenecks exist, and what changes could have the biggest operational impact.
After the visit:
- Concise summary of what we saw, where the strongest opportunities are, and which initiatives should come first.
- Recommended next steps that can range from quick wins to broader MES roadmap planning, depending on your needs and readiness.
What you leave with:
- A clearer view of where software can create measurable value in your operation.
- Prioritized recommendations tied to operational outcomes, not just technical possibilities.
- A practical starting point for stakeholder alignment across operations, engineering, IT, and leadership.
- Guidance from a team backed by Proficy expertise and a broader implementation pathway that moves from discovery and alignment through deployment and optimization.
Start with a focused look at the plant floor
You do not need to begin with a full MES program to make progress. Digital Factory Discovery helps you understand where to act first, what value to expect, and how to move forward with less risk and better alignment.
