Macaque Consulting

Technology and Software Engineering for Industrial Manufacturing (Industry 4.0)

We digitalise your production plants to maximise operational performance (OEE), integrate plant systems with decision-making and accelerate the transition towards intelligent manufacturing.

Industrial plant connected with digital systems

We connect the shop floor with business decisions

Efficiency in modern manufacturing requires eliminating information silos between machines and the management office. At Macaque Consulting, we develop solutions that unify the operational environment (OT) with the corporate environment (IT).

We help industries and production plants capture real-time asset data, optimise operator workflows and automate warehouse and inventory management. We turn your manufacturing data into tangible cost savings and greater production capacity.

Software engineering solutions to optimise your production processes

IT Outsourcing and Industrial Engineering

We integrate software engineers and developers specialised in automation, industrial IoT (IIoT) and plant systems into your teams. Accelerate the digitalisation of your assembly lines with professionals used to working with industrial protocols (OPC UA, Modbus) and cloud architectures.

Software solutions to optimise the efficiency and profitability of your plant

We work on the ground with manufacturers and industrial companies to digitalise their manufacturing operations. We design robust solutions that unify your systems, eliminate paper on the shop floor, reduce downtime and maximise the productivity of your assets.

Machine Connectivity and IIoT Integration

We connect your physical assets with your decision systems. We implement Industrial IoT (IIoT) sensors and gateways to capture real-time data directly from your PLCs and machinery, enabling continuous production monitoring.

Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES)

We digitalise production control end to end. We develop and implement MES systems for work order planning, operator time tracking and automatic real-time OEE calculation, eliminating paper.

Warehouse and Inventory Management (WMS)

We optimise the flow of your raw materials and finished goods. We develop warehouse management software (WMS) integrated with your ERPs to automate order preparation, control stock in real time and reduce logistics errors.

Predictive Maintenance and Downtime Reduction

Avoid unplanned stoppages on your production lines. We apply Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning algorithms to your machine data to anticipate mechanical failures and plan maintenance only when needed.

Computer Vision for Quality Control

We implement automated optical inspection systems on your assembly lines. Using high-speed cameras and AI algorithms, we detect manufacturing defects, measurement deviations or assembly failures in milliseconds.

Supply Chain Planning

Synchronise your purchasing and production with market demand. We develop predictive analytics tools that help estimate future demand, optimise raw material purchasing and ensure your plant produces efficiently.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs) about technology for industrial manufacturing and Industry 4.0

We answer the most common questions about Industry 4.0, IIoT connectivity, MES systems, OEE, predictive maintenance, warehouse management (WMS) and supply chain planning for industrial companies in Tarragona, Catalonia and across Spain.

What technology services does Macaque Consulting offer for industrial manufacturing?

We digitalise production plants to maximise operational performance (OEE), integrate plant systems with decision-making and accelerate the transition towards Industry 4.0. We work on machine connectivity and IIoT integration, MES manufacturing execution systems, warehouse and inventory management (WMS), predictive maintenance, computer vision for quality control and supply chain planning. We serve manufacturers and industrial plants in Tarragona and across Spain.

What is Industry 4.0 and how does a factory start implementing it?

Industry 4.0 is the digitalisation of manufacturing through connecting machines, systems and people, using real-time data and applying artificial intelligence and automation to production processes. It does not require changing the entire plant at once. We start with an assessment, connect the most critical lines, measure their real performance and scale in phases according to the return on each investment, integrating operational technology (OT) with management systems (IT).

Can older machines be connected to an IIoT platform?

Yes. Most plants combine modern machinery with equipment from previous decades that has no native connectivity. Using sensors, industrial gateways and standard protocols such as OPC UA, Modbus or MQTT, we extract status, production, consumption and alarm data from any machine and centralise it on an IIoT platform. This way you digitalise the entire plant without replacing equipment that still works, and without stopping production.

What is OEE and how can technology improve it?

OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) is the benchmark indicator of a plant's efficiency: it combines machine availability, performance against theoretical speed and the quality of what is produced. With an MES system we measure OEE in real time and show the causes of each loss: stoppages, minor stops, changeovers or rejects. With predictive maintenance we anticipate breakdowns before they stop the line. The result is more output with the same resources.

What is a warehouse management system (WMS) and what benefits does it bring?

A warehouse management system (WMS) controls every movement of materials and product: receiving, putaway, inventory, order picking and dispatch. With barcode or RFID reading and smart location rules, it eliminates errors, reduces picking times and provides accurate real-time inventory. We integrate it with the ERP and the MES so that production always has the materials it needs.

How is supply chain planning optimised in a factory?

We integrate sales, production, inventory and supplier data to plan precisely what to manufacture, when and with which materials. With predictive demand analytics and advanced planning tools, we adjust stock levels, anticipate supply shortages and sequence production to minimise changeovers and idle time. Capital tied up in inventory is reduced and on-time delivery improves.
