ERP + MES + industrial IoT + AI. One Optiwise platform.
AI that moves factory work forward
Ask about delayed orders, retrieve vendor history or create a stock entry in natural language. Optiwise routes the request to a specialized production, purchase, inventory, sales or task agent and executes within your role permissions. Your team can work in its own language.
Industrial IoT, from the device to the decision
Connect OptiEdge gateways, power monitors, machine-status signals and vibration sensors. Track OEE, runtime, downtime and energy. Our machine intelligence highlights abnormal signals, while the command center takes you from a multi-plant view to the machine that needs attention.
Your process, built into your ERP
Create relational modules, parent/child records, conditional forms, formulas and rollups without code. Add approvals, event-driven automations, webhooks and versioned SOPs so the system follows the way your factory operates.

Why choose Optiwise for your factory
Connect material planning to buying and production
Smart Suggest checks the BOM requirement against stock, existing production and pending purchases. Create in-house jobs, purchase indents and subcontract actions from that plan. Give stores and purchasing the same requirement your planner is working with.
Put your instructions where work happens
Attach drawings and specifications to items and processes. Link SOPs to machines and operations, use acknowledgments and interactive steps, and capture the required fields in configurable forms. The operator gets the relevant instruction alongside the job.
Build the workflow that makes your factory different
Create relational modules with custom fields, formulas, rollups and multiple views. Configure approvals and automations, and use specialized AI agents for natural-language questions and permitted actions across connected business records.
