Capabilities

What we can help you improve.

Steerframe works across three connected capability areas: process optimisation, digital automation and business intelligence. We improve how work, systems and data come together across operations, using what is already in place and introducing new digital tools only where there is a clear operational gap.

01

Process Optimisation

Improving how the work is done.

Improve how work flows through production and between people and systems. Remove unnecessary steps, weak handoffs, rework and manual activity before adding more technology.

Includes

  • Process & workflow redesign
  • Production flow & handoffs
  • Standard work & controls
  • Manual work & rework reduction

02

Digital Automation

Connecting work across systems and the shop floor.

Connect systems, automate appropriate work and capture information closer to where the work happens, using focused digital tools where existing systems leave an operational gap.

Includes

  • ERP / MRP / MES / WMS integration
  • Shop-floor applications & operator interfaces
  • Machine & device connectivity
  • Automated data capture
  • Workflow automation
  • APIs, integrations & lightweight software

03

Business Intelligence

Making operational performance easier to see.

Bring together production, inventory, operational and business-system data to show what is happening, why it is happening and where action is needed.

Includes

  • Production & operational dashboards
  • Downtime & performance
  • KPI reporting
  • Data integration
  • Alerts & exceptions
Connected operations

Connect the work, systems and data around production.

Where existing systems leave a gap, Steerframe can connect operators, equipment, systems and data through focused digital tools without replacing what already works.

01

Operational applications

Tools people use to perform the work.

Operator interfaces, work instructions, quality checks, production tracking and material handling tools.

02

Connected automation

Connecting actions across the operation.

Move information and actions across people, applications, machines, devices and enterprise systems, including stock movements, replenishment triggers and system updates.

03

Operational intelligence

Information generated as the work happens.

Production status, downtime, material availability, alerts and performance monitoring that help teams act sooner.

04

Connected operational data

Data each improvement can build on.

Connect ERP, MRP, MES, WMS, application, machine and device data instead of creating another isolated point solution.

Start with one problem. Build on what works.

Solve the first worthwhile operational problem with the simplest practical intervention. Where the value is proven, build from there.

Focused delivery. The right capability.

Operational understanding. Technical depth. Clean delivery.

Steerframe brings together capability across manufacturing operations, process improvement, digital systems, software, automation and data.

Each engagement is founder-led, with the right technical and operational capability matched to the problem.

Approach

How we approach the work

01

Define the outcome

Agree the problem, desired outcome, requirements, risks and success criteria.

02

Use the right level of technology

Improve the process, connect existing systems, configure a platform or build something focused where it adds clear value.

03

Build and test properly

Design for approvals, permissions, exceptions and failure points, then test before controlled launch.

04

Support adoption and ownership

Provide the training, documentation and handover needed to make the improvement practical and sustainable.

Boundary

Industrial systems and production data

Steerframe can design and deliver digital solutions that connect production workflows, shop-floor devices, material and stock movements, production data and enterprise systems. This can include operator applications, automated data capture, stock visibility, production visibility and ERP, MRP, MES or WMS integration.

Where delivery involves specialist OT networks, safety-critical controls, PLC programming, robotics or machine automation, we bring appropriately qualified engineering expertise into the project.

After handover

Managed Improvement

Build on proven value.

Where ongoing support adds value, Steerframe can maintain, extend and improve the operational solutions we deliver as processes, systems and requirements change.

Includes

  • Applications & automation
  • Data & integration health
  • Operational reporting
  • Minor improvements & extensions
  • Regular improvement reviews

Have an operational problem worth fixing?

We can help you understand what is causing it, assess the business case and determine the right next step.
