Why Enterprise Manufacturing Leaders Partner with FlipWorks
We combine deep industrial protocol fluency with enterprise software discipline to modernize plant operations without risking costly line stoppages or data loss.
Industrial Protocol & Legacy PLC Fluency
Our engineers interface directly with legacy PLCs and SCADA networks using OPC UA, Modbus, and EtherNet/IP, bridging plant machinery with enterprise software.
Zero-Downtime Migration Architecture
We architect systems using containerized microservices and blue-green deployments, rolling out updates and database synchronizations without pausing active production lines.
Enterprise ERP & MES Systems Integration
We integrate shop-floor apps directly with SAP S/4HANA and Oracle Cloud ERP, ensuring production events and yield counts update executive ledgers automatically.
Shop-Floor Data Reliability & Edge Resilience
We build edge-first architectures with store-and-forward caching, preserving machine telemetry locally during network outages and syncing seamlessly once reconnected.
Business-First ROI & Throughput Focus
We audit scrap rates, cycle times, and labor overhead before building, ensuring every software module resolves a verified bottleneck to protect margins.
Long-Term Code Ownership & Zero Vendor Lock-in
Your organization retains full ownership of all custom source code, schemas, and middleware, backed by comprehensive documentation and zero vendor lock-in.

-
How do you connect custom software with legacy PLCs without disrupting production?
We deploy non-intrusive edge gateways connected to secondary PLC communication ports or industrial network switches. Using read-only protocols like OPC UA, Modbus TCP, or EtherNet/IP, the software collects machine signals without modifying control logic. Initial testing occurs on offline test rigs or during scheduled maintenance, ensuring live production runs uninterrupted.
-
What industrial protocols do you support for machine data collection?
We support OPC UA, Modbus (RTU and TCP), EtherNet/IP, Profinet, IO-Link, and MQTT. For multi-vendor environments using Siemens, Allen-Bradley, Mitsubishi, and Fanuc equipment, we engineer containerized translation layers that normalize disparate signals into standard JSON payloads for central databases and analytics.
-
How does your software handle intermittent shop-floor network drops?
We build edge-first architectures with local store-and-forward databases on edge computers and terminals. If network connectivity drops, applications continue recording machine events and operator inputs locally without data loss. Once the connection recovers, background sync services automatically reconcile queued data with your central database.
-
Can custom shop-floor applications integrate with SAP or Oracle ERP?
Yes. We build secure API middleware and database connectors for SAP S/4HANA, Oracle Cloud ERP, and Microsoft Dynamics 365. Our integration automatically transmits production milestones, finished good quantities, and scrap counts directly to your ERP, keeping material requirements planning (MRP) up to date without end-of-shift manual entry.
-
Who owns the custom source code and edge integration scripts?
Your organization retains 100% ownership of all source code, database architectures, and edge integration scripts upon project completion. We provide full repository access, deployment guides, and documentation with zero recurring licensing fees or vendor lock-in, enabling your internal team to maintain and extend the software freely.
-
How do you secure OT networks when connecting shop-floor data to the cloud?
We apply Purdue Model network segmentation to separate OT networks from IT and cloud systems. Edge gateways use outbound-only, TLS-encrypted connections (MQTT or HTTPS), requiring zero inbound open firewall ports. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest using AES-256, supported by role-based access control and strict authentication.
-
What is the typical timeline for an OEE tracking or telemetry proof-of-concept?
A proof-of-concept for a single line or cell typically takes four to eight weeks. We spend weeks one and two auditing network hardware and verifying PLC connectivity. Edge gateway deployment occurs by week four, and an operational dashboard tracking real-time machine states, cycle times, and OEE metrics is delivered by weeks six to eight.
