Sound familiar?
Monday, project review.
Three departments, three Excel lists, three different versions of the truth. The hour goes by arguing about which number is right. In the end, nobody can say for sure whether the delivery date will hold.
Delays surface too late
By the time assembly is waiting, it is usually too late to react. Then come contractual penalties and overtime.
Experts search instead of solving
Your best people spend their time pulling data from SAP, PLM and spreadsheets instead of solving problems.
Decisions based on gut feeling
There is plenty of data, but no shared picture. Each department only sees its own slice.
The real problem
Deadlines don't slip in production. They slip weeks earlier.
Whether one-off machines or series production: delays start in engineering, planning and procurement. Nobody sees them there today, because the data is spread across many systems. Production is simply where they become visible, and expensive.

And cloud AI won't fix it. A general-purpose chatbot knows neither your bills of materials nor your processes, and it costs money with every request. You need a system that brings your data together and understands your company.

Consulting task forces
We come from production.
OPAIRS was not born in an IT lab, but on the shop floor. Behind the system is a team of practitioners who have sat through exactly these Monday meetings themselves: in automotive supply, pharmaceuticals, series production and special machinery.

The solution
01 · Early detection
02 · Single Source of Truth
03 · Our own models
Three things OPAIRS does for you
Spot problems before they reach production
Not just in production, but already in development, engineering and planning, as well as in maintenance and operations. OPAIRS continuously compares plan and actuals and shows which deviation really puts a delivery date, a machine or a process at risk.
Critical path instead of gut feelingOne truth for your business processes
ERP, PLM, Excel lists, Teams and machine data flow into one shared data foundation inside your company. Shop floor, department heads and management all see the same status.
Solving problems instead of searching for dataAI that understands your company, not just connects to it
We train our own AI models and tune them to your data, terminology and workflows. Instead of a general-purpose chatbot, you get a system that knows your bills of materials, orders and processes.

From Excel plan to critical path
A special machinery builder with around €100 million in revenue runs its customer projects with OPAIRS: on-premise, without project data ever leaving the company network.
Starting point
- A project under contractual penalty, with the target to cut lead time by 10 %

- Bills of materials with more than 40,000 parts across nine levels
Solution with OPAIRS
- All sources flow automatically into a data lake on site. Nobody had to change their tools
- Plan-vs-actual per work package and the critical path at a glance
- Management report with traffic-light status and a concrete recommendation at the push of a button

Economics
And it pays off.
* Total cost over 4 years, depending on number of users and usage intensity. Basis: OPAIRS TCO analysis compared with cloud API services. For very small teams, data sovereignty and compliance are the main benefit.
Interfaces
