Run your production
on facts, not fragments.
RheoNet connects your existing production data into a reliable decision basis. Control inventory, detect bottlenecks, improve delivery performance in weeks, not months.
Does this sound familiar?
Uncontrolled WIP
Your WIP is high, but nobody can clearly say where exactly it builds up.
Unclear Delivery Delays
Delivery delays keep recurring. Root causes blur between planning, material, quality, and shopfloor.
Gut Feeling, Not Data
Operational decisions are based on Excel, experience, and individual knowledge — not on current data.
Firefighting
Your best engineers spend their time on crisis management instead of improving the process. Every day is the same fire.
Then this is not an IT topic. It's a structural decision problem. That's exactly where we start.
Who we work with
RheoNet is built for discrete manufacturing and assembly — for companies with existing ERP and MES that still have to make operational decisions based on Excel, experience, and fragmented data.
Industry
Electronics
High WIP in intermediate storage, unclear cycle times, bottleneck usually at SMT or test.

Industry
Plastics
Setup time dominance, quality drift, batch-driven production with WIP in semi-finished goods.

Industry
Mechanical Engineering & Assembly
High variant diversity, volatile delivery dates, planning and reality drift apart.

How RheoNet works
From your existing data to an operational decision basis — in three steps.
Your systems deliver the data
Existing ERP and MES landscapes remain unchanged. We tap the data that's already there — via standard connectors, CSV exports, or APIs.
- • No system change
- • No IT project
- • Fast first connection
→ Shows which systems deliver data — and where gaps hide.
You know your bottlenecks. You don't know their causes yet.
Clearly scoped pilot — we use your existing data, analyse the current state and deliver concrete facts within 2–3 weeks: top-5 bottlenecks, root causes, first quick wins. Without touching your systems. Without an IT project.
How the pilot works
-
01
Data Extraction
Export from ERP, MES or shopfloor — no read access required
-
02
Bottleneck Analysis
Value stream analysis: Where does material, capacity or information stall?
-
03
Fact Validation
Joint on-site review of results — approx. 1 hour
-
04
Action Plan
Top-5 bottlenecks, root causes and first quick wins — prioritised
Data Extraction
You export order data from your ERP or MES — no IT effort, no system access. CSV, Excel or SQL export is fully sufficient.
What does NOT happen in the pilot
- close No IT integration or software installation
- close No access to MES, ERP or live systems
- close No process changes during the pilot
- close Minimal staff time (< 8 h total)
- close No obligation for follow-on projects
~80%
of orders fell outside planned master data — in a typical pilot

Why previous approaches fall short
Dashboards alone
Most dashboards show you that there is a fire, but not why it started or how to extinguish it.
Classic Consulting
Static snapshots from a three-week observation period don't reflect the daily volatility of your floor.
Planning Systems
Rigid APS/PPS systems often fail because they assume ideal worlds and don't adapt to micro-changes.
Manual Analysis
Your best engineers spend 80% of their time cleaning data in Excel instead of improving the process.
The RheoNet Difference
RheoNet doesn't just show where the bottleneck in your material flow is — it explains why it occurred, how to resolve it, and prevents the next one — without replacing your existing IT systems.
"RheoNet combines years of research at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) with hands-on shop-floor experience to deliver a system that is both scientifically sound and practically bulletproof."
