Flux MES GmbH

We are developing a modular paperless cloud native MES system that will revolutionize digital manufactoring.
We are more efficient through automated planning,
more effective through optimal use of resources,
more agile through learning material flow
and faster to deploy, through a system that fits seamlessly into existing system environments.
We are digital from the order, through production, to delivery.

We have a pilot customer in the paper industry and we have finished our MVP. We have currently 8 employees.
Our current state of development: We finished order management, planning, tracking clients, warehouse management(Lite solution), track and trace, ERP Connector and sensor connection via OPC.

The potential market is huge. In Europe companies spend in 2019 653 Billion Euros for digitalization. Additional the goverment is funding projects which are connected to digitalization.
We have around 3 -10 appointments each month for potential new customers.
Our target companies are have between 50 and 1000 employees.

Nowadays a normal manufactoring of products in a factory is organized by fixed machines, fixed ressources and a fix schedule how to produce. With this, a company looses a lot of potential ressources, which could be used more efficient. And to be more productiv, the customers need to buy big software solution which will not fit their needs , because they will need to buy modules which will never be useds and excisting software is no longer useable.

In our solution we do not focus on orders to be produced, we focus on every single article in the production chain. Every article knows excatly what requirements it needs to be produced. This leeds to a more agile and efficient way of producing, because the article will be produced on the machines which are available and which will fit the requirements, same for ressources. And the algorithmen uses all free time spaces to pre produce articles which will be needed in the future.
We combine all of this with a modern microservice based architecture with a centralized communication layer to provide the most flexible way to get started.

The biggest competitor is the MPDV (Mosbach). They are leading the market in Germany.
Beside them SAP, iTag, Bosch, Siemens are the other big players.
All of them build up on an monolithic infrastructure and some of the code is outdated and they are fighting to migrate to newer infrastructure and technology.

We provide a microservice based modular architecture, with a centralized communication layer to integrate 3rd party applications and minimize the danger of loosing data and preventing system failures. We give more intelligence to every article and provide a solution where the customer can decide what to use and what not.

We sell Licenses depending on machines, and users + service fee and we make implementation project to customize our solution to the needs of the customer.

Additional we provide implementation support for every process which needs to be implemented.

We will need to hire new employees to ensure that we are capable to develop more features.
We need to develop a more efficient sales and marketing strategy.

We offer 10% - 20% of the shares of the Flux MES GmbH.

The biggest risk is the size of the project, because an MES could lead to a lot of modules which needs to be maintained.
And security is also a big risk, because as we provide a cloud native system which is able to control the processes inside a company, we need to pay a lot of attention to this topic.

All devolpments where self financed, no Incubator or statup program.
