The manufacturing execution system
built for serialized, traceable production.
Define process plans, enforce them on the floor, and capture every measurement and component consumption as serialized genealogy. One system from raw material to shipped unit — ISA-95 aligned, API-first, and deployable on your infrastructure.
- ISA-95 & ISO 9001 aligned
- Multi-site ready
- Real-time shop floor events
- On-prem, cloud, or hybrid
Real-Time Visibility
See every unit, station, and operation as it happens. Know what is running, what is waiting, and what needs attention — without walking the floor.
Process Control
Define routes, enforce sequences, and capture observations at every step. Ensure the right process runs on the right part, every time.
Full Traceability
Serialized tracking from raw material to finished good. Complete genealogy, measurement history, and component consumption records.
From engineering to the floor
Spaceframe follows the natural lifecycle of manufacturing — define what you build, specify how it is built, execute production, and verify results.
Define
Parts, BOMs, and revisions
Route
Process plans and operations
Execute
Work orders on the floor
Verify
Quality, traceability, records
Manufacturing primitives, not form fields.
Parts, revisions, BOMs, process plans, stations, and genealogy are first-class objects in the data model. Constraints are enforced by the system — not by a training doc somebody wrote in 2023.
Traceability & Genealogy
- As-built genealogy per serialized unit
- Forward lookup: unit → every component and measurement
- Reverse lookup: lot → every downstream unit shipped
- Automatic hold propagation to finished goods
Production Execution
- Work orders and scheduling
- Station-level operation tracking
- Line and capability configuration
- Process plan enforcement
Quality & Compliance
- In-process observations and measurements
- Configurable pass/fail criteria
- Non-conformance management
- SPC with Western Electric and Nelson rules
Inventory & Materials
- Part and revision management
- Hierarchical bill of materials
- Component consumption tracking
- Location-based inventory control
Manufacturing Engineering
- Versioned process plans
- Multi-operation route definition
- Engineering Change Orders (ECOs)
- Station-to-capability binding
Integration & Extensibility
- REST API with OpenAPI spec for every operation
- OPC UA, OpenProtocol, Atlas Copco ToolsNet
- Topic-filtered WebSocket event stream
- SSO via OIDC, SAML, Okta
Replace fragmented factory workflows
Most factories run on dozens of disconnected tools. Spaceframe is an MES that brings production tracking, quality management, and traceability into one system.
| Legacy MES | No-code tools | Spaceframe | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Data model | Rigid schema, vendor-managed | Flat tables, bring-your-own structure | Parts, revisions, BOMs, process plans, genealogy — modeled |
| Part genealogy | Available, heavy to configure | Not a first-class concept | Append-only, as-built, reversible |
| Process enforcement | Configurable but brittle | DIY — you build the rules | Versioned plans, enforced sequences out of the box |
| Quality records | Separate QMS module | Form inputs in a database | In-line observations, SPC, NCs, holds, CAPA |
| Standards alignment | ISA-95, ISO 9001 — at a cost | Customer assembles the mapping | ISA-95 data model alignment, ISO 9001 records from day one |
| Integration | Adapters via professional services | Webhooks and connectors | REST + WebSocket + OPC UA / OpenProtocol native |
| Time to first unit | 6–18 months | Days, but re-built at every scale point | Days, and it scales with the factory |
| Deployment | Cloud or on-prem, with effort | SaaS-only | Cloud, on-prem, or hybrid — one container |
