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

Start manufacturing work from the customer order

Confirm an order, create its work orders and plan the materials. Use nested BOMs and product-specific routing to define what is made, purchased or subcontracted. Smart Suggest considers stock and pending supply before calculating the next action quantities.

Keep execution, quality and outside work together

Allocate machines and workers, record time and output, and send inspections through the quality queue. For subcontracting, track service orders, delivery challans, material held by vendors and returned goods. The production team sees the complete job across its internal and external steps.

Extend your factory system with AI and no-code tools

Ask our specialized AI agents about production, purchasing or stock, and perform actions within role permissions. Build custom modules with related records and automations, and attach forms or SOPs to the relevant process. Your operating detail stays in the same system.
