Software, 3D and AI engineering · Istanbul / Berlin / New York
Manufacturing is 22% of Turkish GDP. Automotive (Bursa, Kocaeli), textile (Gaziantep, Denizli), food (Konya, Adana), white goods (Manisa, Bolu), machinery (Konya, Ankara) — each cluster has distinct manufacturing software needs.
ISA-95 reference model defines 5 layers: physical → field → SCADA → MES → ERP. Most projects are about closing the data gaps between these layers.
MES (Manufacturing Execution System) is the spine: production order, OEE, traceability, quality, maintenance, andon, shift report. World-class OEE is 85%+; Turkish mid-large factories average 55-70%. A solid MES rollout typically lifts OEE 5-15 points within 12 months.
SCADA stack 2026: PLC + OPC-UA + MQTT + InfluxDB / TimescaleDB. Modern platforms: Siemens, Rockwell, AVEVA, Ignition. Unified Namespace replacing classic client-server topology.
Industry 4.0 + digital twin AI use cases: predictive maintenance (vibration + heat + acoustic ML), visual QC (Computer Vision), process optimization (RL), energy savings (15-30%), worker safety (AI cameras), APS scheduling.
