Why manubes

First transparency. Then better decisions.

Mobile dashboards for production

The data from your equipment usually exists already, but not where it is needed. manubes brings it together on a cloud platform and makes it visible to everyone who works with it: on the factory floor, in the office and on the move.

Your teams then build what they need themselves: real-time dashboards, automated processes and mobile applications. By drag and drop, without programming and without servers of your own.

No IT project, no hardware, no maintenance: you start with a browser and see the first values as soon as the first data source is connected.

Your benefits

What you solve first with manubes

Four tasks that manufacturers typically start with. Each brings a benefit of its own, so you do not have to change everything at once.

01 · Monitor

Detect downtime sooner

Machine status, metrics and faults come together live, on the factory-floor monitor as well as on the smartphone. Whoever is responsible finds out immediately instead of at the next shift meeting.

Typical examples: real-time dashboards, push notifications and OEE visualisation.

Workflow Designer: trigger, condition and actions connected by drag and drop
02 · Automate

Hand over the manual work

Data transfers, feedback and routine steps run in the background as a workflow. This saves time and prevents transcription errors between equipment, spreadsheet and system.

Typical examples: workflow automation, shopfloor boards and data capture by code scan.

03 · Document

Get paper out of production

Shift log, work instructions and reports are kept directly on the device: traceable, searchable and without retyping afterwards.

Typical examples: digital shift log, digital work instructions and automated reporting.

04 · Connect

Create one version of the data for everyone

OPC UA, MQTT, REST and databases come together in one shared data model. Production, quality and management then work with the same figures.

Typical examples: system connectivity, the OPC UA Client and the AI assistant for questions about your own data.

05 · Visualise

See the plant, always and everywhere

In the process diagram, every measured value sits where it arises: at the tank, the pump, the valve. Your people assemble traffic lights, pipes and vessels by drag and drop and link them to live data, and individual elements become buttons. That way the plant is monitored and operated from its own picture instead of from tables.

Typical examples: process diagrams of equipment, stations and material flows, and trends and curves from the process data alongside.

What changes day to day

Five points that make the difference in operation — all benefits at a glance.

Ready in minutes instead of months

No server, no installation, no licence activation: an internet-enabled device with a modern browser is enough. You test first and decide afterwards, instead of pre-financing a project.

Every figure where it is needed

The same application on desktop, smartphone, factory-floor monitor and operator panel. Decisions are made where the work happens, and not only in the next meeting.

Your specialists build it themselves

Dashboards, workflows and user interfaces are created by drag and drop. Whoever knows the process makes the adjustments, with no development order and no waiting time.

Existing systems stay in place

Connectors for OPC UA, MQTT, REST and databases link existing equipment and software. You do not have to replace anything to get started, not even older machines.

Grow without rebuilding

From the first line to further sites: data sources, users and applications are added without having to set up the solution again.

Application management

Built once. In use everywhere.

What works for one line works just as well for the next, without starting from scratch every time.

Use as often as you like

One application, one instance per line, plant or site.

Always the right version

Every application is version-controlled — changes remain traceable.

Test first, then go live

Via manubes staging, from development through to production.

Frequently asked questions before you start

What is manubes?

manubes is a cloud-based platform for industrial production management.

With manubes you capture the data from your machines, devices, databases and other production-relevant systems and transmit it to a secure cloud environment. There you structure, control and visualise your production: create data models, automate workflows and present production data as interactive real-time pages.

Access is worldwide via a web browser, with no installation on the end devices.

How quickly can we get started?

A test account is created in a few minutes; you neither have to install nor operate the platform itself.

For the first data source, an edge node is installed in your network and the connection is configured. The step-by-step guide to connecting an edge device shows how this works.

Do we have to replace existing systems?

No. manubes is used alongside your existing landscape. Connectors for OPC UA, MQTT, REST and databases link equipment, controllers and software, including older machines with limited interfaces.

More on this: System integration with manubes.

How secure is our production data?

Your production is connected exclusively via outbound connections, so no ports for inbound connections have to be opened in your production network.

Access rights, infrastructure and operation are described in the security concept. As part of the Cloud Services Made in Germany initiative, we offer service level agreements under German law and German-language support.

Who is behind manubes?

manubes is developed by us, inray Industriesoftware GmbH.
