How We Connect ERP to The Plant Floor
Consult with Cumulus Automation to bridge the gap between business systems and operational technology. Our ERP integration services connect higher-level functions like enterprise resource planning, maintenance management, inventory, and analytics with plant-floor systems such as MES, SCADA and data historians.
We can rapidly build integrations that are lightweight, scalable, and tailored to your operations—enabling real-time information sharing between departments and systems, reducing manual data handling, minimising errors and supporting smarter, faster decision-making. Depending on your use case, Cumulus Automation’s team can use in-built platform connectors, direct API connections, or leverage middleware workflow tools to manage complex data exchange, parsing and routing to make sure the right data connections are built, secured and maintained.

How Does It Work?
The data in your business is your secret weapon against inefficiency, but if your data is segregated and isolated in seperate systems, you’re not using it effectively.
The most common IT/OT integration connects your MES platform into your ERP system, creating reliable data exchange between the systems that run your business and the systems that run your production. Instead of relying on spreadsheets, emails, or double data entry, we enable systems to share information automatically based on business or production events.
Point-to-Point Integrations
Send production statistics, raw material usage, finished goods into your enterprise business layer
Send Bill of Material lists, stock inventory levels, shift schedules, planned production orders to your production management system
Enterprise Wide Integrations
Synchronise your operations, maintenance, production, reporting, and finincial tools together to create real time data flow between all elements of your business. By maintaining single-source-of-truth accuracy with seamless data exchange, you can reduce manual entry, improve accuracy and help your leaders make better decisions.
ERP Integration Best Practices
You Don't Need to Share Everything — Share What’s Important
- Start with Clear Process Mapping
Understanding how your teams actually use data day to day helps ensure integration supports real workflows—not just ideal ones. - Establish Who Owns the Data
Decide early which system is the “source of truth” for each type of data (like inventory levels or production status), and which systems should just reference it. - Build in Monitoring and Visibility
Include feedback loops so that teams can see if data is flowing as expected—and know when something’s gone wrong. - Don’t Over-Engineer
Focus on the data and workflows that actually drive decisions or cause delays, and leave the rest untouched until there’s a clear need. If an intensive manual data flow is used once per year, it’s less critical to automate than a short manual data-flow thats done everyday.
