From downtime and delays to smart, connected manufacturing
Every manufacturer knows the story. One machine goes down and the whole production line grinds to a halt. Processes are stuck on paper or spreadsheets, creating errors and delays. IT and OT systems don’t talk to each other. Meanwhile, customers expect faster delivery, lower costs, and flawless quality.
At String, we help manufacturers turn this around. As a Microsoft Solutions Partner, we deliver end-to-end services that connect your IT, operations, and factory floor. With tools like Dynamics 365, Power Platform, Microsoft Azure, Copilot, and Teams, we help you move towards Industry 4.0 – with fewer breakdowns, smarter planning, and a more resilient operation.
The challenges manufacturers face today
- Unplanned downtime that disrupts production schedules and costs thousands.
- Manual workflows in maintenance, quality, or reporting that slow down productivity.
- Disconnected systems across IT, OT, and ERP that make it hard to see the full picture.
- Increased competition from manufacturers already adopting digital transformation.
The result? Wasted time, rising costs, and a missed opportunity to build the smart factory of the future.
How String helps you modernise manufacturing
We don’t just install software. We build a solution around how your factory really works, using Microsoft’s ecosystem to unify your operations. That means:
- Dynamics 365 for Manufacturing: Manage everything from supply chain to finance and production in one connected ERP system.
- Power Platform: Automate repetitive tasks, digitise paper processes, and build custom apps without heavy development.
- Azure IoT & AI: Monitor and predict asset health with real-time data, reducing unplanned downtime.
