Inpute helps manufacturers in pharma, medtech, food and beverage and renewables turn machine and production data into live insight, from the plant floor to the boardroom. Trusted by manufacturers including Repligen and Stryker.
Most manufacturers already generate the data they need. The problem is that it is scattered, delayed or recorded by hand, so it rarely reaches the people making decisions in time.
01
Machine data stays on the shop floor
Readings from PLCs and SCADA systems are overwritten or locked in individual machines, so the history needed to understand performance is lost.
02
Reporting relies on paper and spreadsheets
Quality, batch and production reports are compiled by hand at the end of a shift, so issues are found hours or days after they happen.
03
OEE is calculated too late to act on
Without live availability, performance and quality data, downtime and slow cycles go unaddressed for a full shift or longer.
04
Plant and business systems don’t connect
OT systems, ERP and cloud platforms sit apart, so operations and leadership work from different numbers and there is no single source of truth.
How we help
How does Inpute help manufacturers?
Inpute helps manufacturers turn production and machine data into live insight, and replace the paper and spreadsheets behind quality, batch and performance reporting.
We connect the equipment, data historians and business systems you already run into one trusted data layer, so plant, quality and leadership teams work from the same numbers in real time.
Pharmaceutical manufacturing
Inpute helps pharmaceutical manufacturers replace manual quality and batch reporting with automated data capture from the production line. Data is collected directly from equipment, validated and stored with a full record of every change.
For Repligen, this reduced the manual paperwork needed for quality reporting by 80%, and cut machine downtime by 30% through predictive maintenance.
Key benefits
Less manual paperwork in quality and batch reporting
A reliable, time-stamped record of every machine and process
Medical device manufacturers often manage change control, quality records and production data across legacy systems and scattered documents. Inpute replaces that patchwork with governed, plant-wide data that’s audit-ready from the start.
With clean data captured at the source, quality and production teams stop chasing records and focus on improving the process.
Key benefits
Reduction in downtime
Enhanced plant-wide visibility across production, quality, facilities and finance
Controlled, auditable quality and engineering records
Fewer data errors carried from the line into reporting
One version of the truth across plant and business systems
Inpute helps food and beverage manufacturers track OEE, downtime and waste in real time across high-volume lines. Availability, performance and quality data is captured directly from equipment, so problems are spotted while the shift is still running.
Manual end-of-shift reports are replaced with live dashboards that operators, supervisors and site leaders all trust.
Wind and solar farms generate a constant stream of data across widely distributed assets and sites. Inpute brings it all together: Ignition SCADA for real-time monitoring and control, and AVEVA and Canary historians for long-term data storage and modelling, so operators can see what’s happening now and understand what’s driving performance over time.
Operators get one place to monitor performance across sites, and a reliable history to investigate faults and plan maintenance.
Key benefits
Real-time monitoring and control across distributed sites
A complete operational history for every site
A clear view of what’s driving performance over time
Inpute is a partner of Ignition, Canary and AVEVA, alongside Microsoft. That combination of OT and IT expertise, Microsoft capability and intelligent automation lets Inpute cover the full stack, from plant-floor data to enterprise reporting.
Inpute works with manufacturers in pharma, medtech, food and beverage, and renewables. Clients include Repligen and Stryker. The same approach of connected machine data, data historians and live reporting applies across sectors.
No. Most existing machines and control systems can already provide the data needed. Inpute connects to the equipment, PLCs and SCADA systems you already run, so there is no need to replace machines or change how your lines operate.
A data historian collects and stores time-series data from industrial equipment, keeping a long-term record of what happened. A Unified Namespace gives that data one consistent, real-time structure across machines, lines and sites. The two often work together.
Yes. Inpute connects operational technology, such as PLCs, SCADA systems and data historians, with IT systems such as ERP and business reporting, so shop floor data and business data sit in one trusted layer.
Yes. Inpute connects production data with ERP and other business systems in one data layer, so operations and leadership work from the same numbers.
Inpute is vendor-neutral, so we recommend the best-fit technology rather than the most profitable one. Our teams are based in Ireland with low staff turnover, so knowledge is retained across every engagement, and we focus on practical AI that delivers results in production, not proofs of concept that never scale.
With a discovery workshop or data audit. Inpute maps how data moves across your machines, historians, ERP and spreadsheets, and identifies where live data will make the biggest difference before anything is built.
