MES Built for High-Mix, Low-Volume Production

ProcessIQ is a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) and operations management software designed for configure-to-order manufacturers. It replaces outdated paper-based workflows with intelligent, data-driven electronic work instructions, streamlining production in high-mix, low-volume (HMLV) environments where product variations create complexity and inefficiency.

It’s ideal for small to medium-sized manufacturers in discrete industries like photonics, lasers, energy solutions, and custom repeater production. If your shop floor handles hundreds of product variants with low volumes (e.g., 20 SKUs making up 80% of revenue but adding process complexity), ProcessIQ helps enforce quality and reduce waste without overwhelming your team.

Through its dynamic variance management feature, ProcessIQ allows you to create, update, and manage documentation for thousands of potential variances quickly. The configurator tool efficiently handles hundreds of product variations, ensuring precise, tailored work instructions for each build without manual rework.

It embeds quality directly into the production process with a digital thread for traceability, real-time issue capture, and compliance enforcement. Features include digital traceability, automated reporting on planned vs. actual build times/costs, and seamless integration to analyze quality data across your operations.

ProcessIQ offers seamless integration with your current MES, ERP, or other enterprise systems. It captures real-time shop floor data and feeds it into broader analytics, allowing you to connect electronic work instructions to your workflow without disrupting operations.

Manufacturers see increased productivity by eliminating paper, reducing admin time, and ensuring consistent quality. It provides actionable insights into production efficiency (e.g., actual vs. planned metrics), supports continuous improvement, and delivers a quick ROI through scalable, modular implementation that starts small and grows with your needs.

With its configurable, modular approach, ProcessIQ enables a quick start—often reducing time to value and implementation risk. Many customers, like ProPhotonix, report going paperless and seeing efficiency gains in weeks, depending on your shop floor size and existing setup.

Yes, it creates a full digital thread of quality, capturing issues in real-time and providing end-to-end traceability for audits and regulations. This is especially valuable in industries with strict standards, helping teams like Georg Fischer manage localized requirements across 800+ SKUs.

ProcessIQ delivers real-time data insights, including comparisons of planned vs. actual production times and costs, plus customizable reports on quality metrics and variances. This helps identify bottlenecks and drive data-backed decisions to optimize your high-variance manufacturing processes.

Pricing for ProcessIQ is tailored to your organisation’s size and needs, with flexible modular plans to fit HMLV operations. For detailed quotes or to explore a 60 day demo/trial, contact their team directly, as they offer personalised consultations to match your setup.
