Manufacturing

Manufacturing, Data, AI and Automation Solutions Built for Modern Production

Overview

Manufacturing is undergoing its most significant transformation in decades. Global supply pressures, rising production costs, labour shortages, sustainability targets and increasing customer expectations are pushing the industry toward smarter, automated, data-driven operations.

 

At High Digital, we help manufacturers modernise their digital infrastructure, building secure, scalable data products that connect machines, teams, systems and decision-making.

 

From predictive maintenance to supply-chain intelligence, we design solutions that deliver operational clarity and measurable ROI.

What We Do for Manufacturing

We help manufacturing organisations unlock value from MES, ERP, SCADA, IoT, quality systems, maintenance records, logistics feeds and commercial data. Our work spans the full lifecycle:

 

  • Data strategy and architecture
  • Data warehouse and lakehouse implementations
  • IoT data ingestion and real-time analytics
  • Predictive maintenance platforms
  • Process optimisation and automation
  • Reporting, dashboards and digital twins
  • Agentic AI for manufacturing operations
  • Secure cloud migration across Azure, AWS and Google Cloud

 

Because High Digital is ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials Plus accredited, every solution is built with security, governance and operational resilience at its core.

Agentic AI for Manufacturing

Manufacturing is ideal for agentic AI, where autonomous agents assist with: production scheduling and rescheduling, automated root-cause analysis, inventory reordering decisions, quality prediction and alerting, predictive maintenance actions, maintenance ticket automation, AI copilots for plant managers and operations teams.

 

Instead of dashboards that describe what happened, agentic AI provides systems that take intelligent action.

Challenges We Solve in Manufacturing
Data trapped in siloed systems
Manufacturers often operate dozens of systems acquired over many years. We unify MES, ERP, SCADA, quality and production data into a single analytics layer.
Visibility gaps on the production floor
We build real-time dashboards and event-driven monitors so managers can see bottlenecks, downtime, OEE, throughput and scrap rates instantly.
Unpredictable downtime
High Digital enables predictive maintenance using sensor data, telemetry and machine learning, helping teams prevent failures before they happen.
Complex supply chains
We build forecasting tools, agentic AI workflows and decision-support dashboards that help planners adjust proactively.
Rising sustainability and compliance requirements
ESG reporting, energy tracking, emissions data, waste reduction and compliance metrics, all automated and audit-ready.
Use Cases
Icon
Predictive Maintenance for Production Lines
Machine sensor data is aggregated, monitored and analysed to detect early signs of failure, reducing unplanned downtime significantly.
Icon
Real-Time OEE Dashboard
SCADA and MES data feed a live OEE dashboard available to shift leads, managers and executives.
Icon
AI-Driven Energy Tracking
A sustainability analytics layer monitors energy consumption, forecasting peaks and identifying efficiency opportunities.
Icon
Digital Twin for Production Simulation
A model of a production system that enables simulation of throughput, bottlenecks and optimisation scenarios.
