The challenge
Three plants, zero shared truth
Meridian ran three production plants on three different systems. Every Monday, managers stitched together exports by hand to answer basic questions: which line is down, where is the bottleneck, what ships this week? By the time the report landed, it was already stale.
Unplanned downtime was the silent budget killer — small stoppages nobody logged were adding up to whole lost shifts per month.
The approach
One dashboard, live from the floor
We spent two weeks on the factory floor with supervisors before designing anything. The resulting platform pulls machine telemetry, shift logs, and ERP data into one live view — line status, throughput, downtime causes, and shipping readiness.
Role-based views keep it simple: operators see their line, managers see their plant, executives see the company. Alerts ping supervisors the moment a line stalls.
Outcome
What changed on the floor
Meetings, shorter
The Monday reporting ritual disappeared — the numbers are simply there, live, for everyone.
Decisions, faster
Shift leads reassign crews in minutes when the dashboard flags a struggling line.
"Cloudmere didn't just build software — they learned our factory. The dashboard paid for itself within two quarters."
