Proficy Plant Applications
Proficy Plant Applications Consulting
Specialized MES expertise for manufacturers and system integrators worldwide.
Austral Manufacturing Software provides specialized consulting, implementation, integration, and support services for Proficy Plant Applications, Proficy Historian, and industrial manufacturing software.
Our engineering team brings hands-on experience across Proficy Plant Applications environments in food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, automotive, and other manufacturing sectors.
Proficy Plant Applications Services
We help manufacturers and engineering organizations design, implement, maintain, and modernize Proficy Plant Applications environments.
Our experience spans both the manufacturing processes behind MES and the software architecture required to support them.
Implementation & Development
We design and develop Plant Applications solutions around real manufacturing processes and operational requirements.
- Production Management
- Efficiency Management and OEE
- Quality Management
- Genealogy and traceability
- Equipment and production-line modeling
- Production data collection and contextualization
- Operator interfaces
- Reporting and visualization
- Custom application development
- MES integrations
Our approach starts with the manufacturing process — not the software.
The objective is to build MES solutions that operators, supervisors, engineers, and business systems can rely on in day-to-day production.
Plant Applications Support & Troubleshooting
Existing MES environments often become mission-critical systems with years of configuration, integrations, and custom development behind them.
We provide specialized Proficy Plant Applications support for manufacturers and engineering teams that need additional expertise.
- Application troubleshooting
- Production issues and incident resolution
- Performance investigation
- Database and SQL troubleshooting
- Integration troubleshooting
- Application maintenance
- New functionality and enhancements
- Engineering support
- Technical assessments
We can work directly with manufacturers or complement existing IT/OT, engineering, and system integration teams.
Proficy Upgrades & Modernization
Plant Applications environments often remain in production for many years.
During that time, infrastructure changes, integrations evolve, custom applications accumulate, and legacy components can become increasingly difficult to maintain.
Austral helps organizations assess existing environments and plan modernization initiatives while minimizing production risk.
- Existing-system assessments
- Architecture reviews
- Upgrade planning
- Application migration
- Legacy component modernization
- Integration validation
- Testing and commissioning
- Post-upgrade support
Our goal is not simply to move an installation to a newer version. We help preserve the manufacturing logic, integrations, and operational workflows that make the MES valuable to the plant.
Proficy Historian Consulting & Support
Austral also provides engineering services for Proficy Historian and industrial data architectures.
We help manufacturers collect, manage, contextualize, and integrate industrial data across their manufacturing systems.
- Historian configuration and administration
- Data collectors
- Troubleshooting
- Migration and upgrades
- Proficy Plant Applications integration
- SCADA integration
- APIs and external applications
- Industrial data extraction and contextualization
- Reporting and analytics integrations
Historian is frequently part of a broader manufacturing architecture. Our experience across MES, SCADA, databases, APIs, and industrial applications allows us to approach it as part of the complete manufacturing system rather than as an isolated data repository.
MES & Industrial Systems Integration
MES does not operate in isolation.
We design integrations across the manufacturing technology stack:
These integrations enable production orders, material consumption, equipment states, production results, quality information, genealogy, and performance metrics to move reliably between plant-floor and enterprise systems.
Our engineering experience includes technologies such as:
SQL Server · REST APIs · OPC · .NET · Proficy Historian · SCADA · Industrial Databases
Manufacturing Expertise Behind the Software
Successful MES projects require more than software development.
Plant Applications sits directly between manufacturing operations, automation systems, and enterprise software.
Our engineers understand manufacturing concepts including:
- Production orders
- Equipment and production lines
- Downtime and production losses
- OEE
- Quality
- Genealogy and traceability
- Materials and consumption
- ERP–MES integration
- Plant-floor data acquisition
That combination of manufacturing knowledge and software engineering allows us to solve problems across both sides of an MES implementation.
We approach MES as a manufacturing system first and a software application second.
