Industrial Products
Your plants run around the clock. Your data should connect them.
UMH connects your production lines, assembly cells, and test stations into one real-time data layer. Your operations, quality, and energy management teams get the same trusted view of every line, every shift, every plant.
Machine-level energy monitoring for ISO 50001 compliance and product carbon footprint reporting
CSRD-ready sustainability data, Catena-X PCF export, and ISO 50001 audit trail
Real-time OEE per line and cell, across discrete, batch, and hybrid production
Siemens S7, EtherNet/IP, OPC UA, Modbus. Live in days
Template-based multi-plant rollout
Trusted by global enterprises
The Challenge
Multi-plant operations, fragmented data.
Each site runs a different system. OEE definitions, energy data, and ERP alignment all require manual work.
You can't run 20 plants on data that lives in 20 silos
A company with plants across multiple countries typically has a different mix of MES, SCADA, and historian systems at every site. OEE is calculated differently in Kolding than in Suzhou. Downtime categories that exist in one plant don't exist in another. When a regional operations lead asks for a cross-site comparison, someone spends two days assembling spreadsheets. The people who know how to interpret the local data are retiring, and the knowledge they carry about plant-specific quirks and workarounds is not documented anywhere. Without a unified, real-time view, every site remains a separate island, and so does every improvement initiative.
You can't connect 400 machines when every plant is a different generation
A typical plant floor has Siemens S7-300s from the 1990s running next to new OPC UA-capable equipment. Legacy PLCs, standalone test rigs, and manual quality stations all produce data, but none of it reaches the same system. Traditional integration projects scope each machine individually, which means months of work before anything is live. At 15 or 20 plants, that approach does not scale. What you need is a connectivity layer that handles the full range of equipment without requiring a custom project for each site.
Energy is your second-largest cost line and you're managing it with monthly invoices
Compressed air systems, hydraulic presses, thermal treatment lines, and test benches consume significant energy, but most plants only see consumption at the meter level. No visibility into which lines, shifts, or products drive the cost. ISO 50001 requires energy performance indicators at the process level. CSRD reporting requires Scope 1 and 2 data that can be traced to production output. Both obligations land on the same gap: you don't have machine-level energy data tied to what you actually produce.
Your MES and ERP don't reach the shop floor, and replacing them isn't the answer
SAP tells you what should have happened. Your MES, where it exists, covers part of the floor. But the actual machine signals, the cycle times, alarm codes, and quality measurements, sit in PLCs that neither system reads in real time. The answer is not another two-year platform replacement. It is a data layer that fills the gap between what your enterprise systems know and what your machines actually do, without disrupting what is already running.

Case study | Böllhoff
See how industrial manufacturers use UMH to connect multi-plant operations and get real-time visibility across every site.
How Böllhoff put 20 million parts daily on a single data foundation
"We produce almost 20 million fasteners per day. That generates enormous amounts of data. Machine data, energy data, production orders. But it was all in separate systems. We had the data. We just couldn't use it."
OUR SOLUTION
One layer, standardised across plants.
OEE, energy, and ERP integration unified across every site without replacing existing systems.
Cross-plant OEE on one screen, not in a spreadsheet
Standardised OEE, downtime categorisation, and quality metrics across every plant. Same definitions, same calculations, same real-time view. Operations leads compare sites without waiting for someone to compile the data.
Machine-level energy attribution
Monitor electricity, compressed air, and thermal energy per line and per product. Per-machine attribution gives you the ISO 50001 energy performance indicators and the production-linked data CSRD reporting requires.
Connect PLCs and controllers in one layer
Siemens S7, EtherNet/IP, OPC UA, and Modbus, regardless of age or manufacturer, connected to one unified data layer. No middleware, no per-connector fees.
Fill the gap between ERP and the shop floor
Production orders from SAP or your ERP match to live machine data. Actual cycle times, scrap counts, and quality results flow back automatically. No rip-and-replace.
Predictive maintenance on critical assets
Detect drift in cycle times, pressure curves, and vibration patterns on presses, test rigs, and assembly stations. Alerts fire before failures cascade across the line.
Template-based multi-plant rollout
Configuration templates replicate from plant to plant. Each subsequent site deploys faster than the last. OT-safe, outbound-only architecture under IEC 62443.
