Syspro Expands Digital Shopfloor Capabilities with Evocon Acquisition
Syspro, a global software provider serving the manufacturing and distribution sectors, has completed the acquisition of Evocon, a Estonia-based specialist in real-time production monitoring. The deal marks a strategic move to strengthen Syspro’s digital shopfloor capabilities and provide manufacturers with a unified view of operations, from planning to execution.
What the Acquisition Means for Syspro Customers
Evocon’s real-time production monitoring technology integrates seamlessly with Syspro’s ERP and manufacturing execution systems. By combining Evocon’s data streams with Syspro’s planning, inventory, and order management modules, manufacturers gain end-to-end visibility across the shopfloor. This enhanced visibility supports faster decision-making, reduced downtime, and more accurate performance analytics.
Improved Real-Time Insights
Real-time monitoring is a cornerstone of modern manufacturing. Evocon’s dashboards capture live data from machines, work centers, and operators, translating it into actionable insights. For Syspro users, this means operators can track cycle times, utilization, and bottlenecks as they happen, enabling quick adjustments to production schedules and resource allocation.
Digital Transformation with a Unified Platform
The acquisition aligns with a growing industry trend: converging ERP, MES, and shopfloor analytics into a single digital platform. By uniting Evocon’s monitoring capabilities with Syspro’s ERP and distribution features, manufacturers can bridge the gap between strategic planning and shopfloor execution. The result is a smoother flow of data, fewer manual handoffs, and a reduced risk of miscommunication across departments.
Technological Synergy and Customer Benefits
Evocon’s technology complements Syspro’s existing product suite, enabling features such as real-time OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) tracking, downtime analysis, and production analytics dashboards. For manufacturers, this translates into:
- Faster root-cause analysis for downtime events
- Better schedule adherence and throughput optimization
- Enhanced forecasting through live data trends
- Improved collaboration between shopfloor operators and management
What’s Next for the Combined Offering
Syspro plans to integrate Evocon’s capabilities into its product roadmap, delivering deeper analytics, more robust dashboards, and tighter data integration with enterprise systems. The goal is to provide a scalable solution that supports manufacturers from small- to mid-market segments through to larger sites, with a focus on easier adoption and quicker time-to-value.
Global Reach, Local Relevance
Evocon’s Estonia-based roots bring a strong European perspective on manufacturing digitalization, complementing Syspro’s global footprint. As production facilities around the world pursue greater efficiency and resilience, the combined entity aims to accelerate digital transformation across diverse industries, including consumer electronics, automotive components, and food & beverage.
Quotes and Leadership Perspective
Industry observers note that acquisitions like this signal a maturing market for integrated shopfloor solutions. By expanding its digital capabilities, Syspro reinforces its commitment to helping manufacturers achieve better operational control, higher quality, and improved profitability through data-driven decision making.
As the integration progresses, customers can expect continued support, with a focus on preserving existing workflows while delivering new real-time analytics features that enhance overall equipment effectiveness and manufacturing performance.
