Edlack.
A manufacturing production system running the electro-coating line to automotive-standard tolerances, twenty-four hours a day.
Edlack coats metal parts for the international automotive industry, operating to tolerances that do not permit software downtime. When the production line stops, money stops. When an MPS lies about a batch, rework compounds across every downstream station.
We built the manufacturing production system from the line backwards — starting with the physical electro-coating process and the engineers who run it, then shaping the software to fit their reality rather than forcing them to fit it. The result is a system that has controlled the daily line for nearly a decade without a single lost day of production.
What the system does that typical MPS platforms do not: it survives the industrial environment, reports honestly when sensors disagree, and is debuggable by the operators themselves through plain-language logs. The code is readable ten years after it was written because the abstractions match how the line actually works, not how we wanted it to.
Nine years of daily production, zero replatforming projects, zero lost batches to software.
