The governed manufacturing operating system
MERIT 2.0 unifies ERP + shop-floor + quality + maintenance + scheduling into a closed-loop execution model: Exception → Governed Work → Gate → Proof → Learning.
Dashboards tell you what happened. MERIT 2.0 makes sure the right thing happens next — with gates, accountability, proof, and learning.
Connect your systems. Then govern execution.
MERIT 2.0 sits above and between your existing systems — mirroring and normalizing critical data — then driving exceptions into enforced work with audit-ready proof.
- ERP: jobs, routings, labor, inventory, ship dates
- Shop floor: machine states, counts, downtime, reasons
- QMS: holds, inspections, defects, corrective actions
- TPM/CMMS: PMs, breakdowns, readiness, work orders
- Scheduling: constraints, dispatch, commitments
- Ownership by role, line/cell, and shift
- SLA clocks with escalation if missed
- Gates that prevent bad outcomes
- Proof required to close actions
- Audit trail of who/what/when/why
- Update standards, routings, control plans, checklists
- Convert repeat failures into governed learning work
- Drive training / certification gaps into action
- Track “did it stick?” over time — not just “closed”
What’s inside MERIT 2.0
One operating system, delivered as unified modules. Deploy what you need first — expand without replatforming.
One operational timeline across ERP, shop floor, quality, maintenance, and scheduling — contextualized by job, operation, and time.
Mirror + normalize + eventify critical data into an auditable operational hub (PostgreSQL) to power analytics, governance, and cross-system truth.
Constraint-aware plans that reflect real capacity and readiness — so schedules become commitments, not wishes.
Turns the schedule into executable dispatch and short-interval commitments, with visibility to misses and the “why” behind them.
Converts exceptions into governed work with ownership, SLA clocks, escalation, gates, and proof-of-execution — so nothing closes on “trust me.”
Real-time labor and machine truth (counts, downtime, reasons) tied directly to dispatch, standards, and governance actions.
Outcomes plants buy MERIT 2.0 for
MERIT 2.0 reduces chaos by making execution accountable, enforceable, and continuously improving.
Finite scheduling + dispatch control that turns plans into hourly commitments.
Governed learning updates standards so the same exception is less likely next time.
Proof-of-execution with complete who/what/when evidence and decision history.

In a demo we map your systems, your constraints, and your top recurring exceptions — then show how MERIT 2.0 turns them into enforced execution.
- Systems and data sources (ERP/QMS/CMMS/shop-floor)
- Top 5 recurring exceptions (late jobs, quality, downtime, readiness)
- Governance model (owners, SLAs, escalation, gates, proof)
- Scheduling + queue flow (constraints → dispatch → interval performance)
FAQs
Is MERIT 2.0 an MES?
MERIT 2.0 can complement MES, but it is fundamentally an operating system for governed execution: unifying cross-system truth, enforcing response, applying gates, capturing proof, and driving learning updates.
Do we have to replace our ERP?
No. MERIT 2.0 sits above ERP as the execution and governance layer. It mirrors data and links actions back to your existing processes.
Can it be deployed on-prem?
Yes — on-prem, private cloud, or hybrid. The Industry 4.0 Data Manager backbone is designed for controlled environments with minimal vendor lock-in.
What’s the fastest path to value?
Start with Data Manager + Governance + one queue for a constrained area. Stabilize execution, then expand scheduling and plant-wide governance.
