FlashHub MES — The MES for leather goods and luxury

From the brand’s sketch to delivery, every order has a dossier that writes itself while the department works. FlashHub MES measures phases, people, machines and subcontractors in real time, plans with your company’s real constraints and produces the reports the client asks for, with no reworking. All on your own server, with a local assistant that anticipates problems and acts with the permissions of whoever asks it.

Traceability and anti-counterfeiting

Every piece has a verifiable history, from the first component to the end customer.

From the single component to the finished product, and beyond

Complete genealogy of each piece: lots of leather, linings, metal accessories and threads; the phases, operators, machines and subcontractors that worked them; then finished product, parcel and shipment. And beyond delivery: returns, repairs and after-sales service stay linked to the history of the single piece. A targeted recall can be traced in seconds, in both directions.

Built-in anti-counterfeiting

Every product gets a unique serialised identity, on QR, NFC or RFID tags, linked to its production dossier. The MES integrates with brands’ anti-counterfeiting platforms and digital certificates of authenticity, and is ready for the European Digital Product Passport. The brand verifies that a piece is genuine by tracing where, when and by whom it was made.

Local AI assistant

VENANIX, the assistant that works inside your company

It answers in chat, in Microsoft Teams and on Telegram using real data, with the user’s own permissions.

It flags issues before they happen

It watches the shop floor: forgotten sessions, stale plans, departments in overflow, late outsourced work, deliveries at risk.

It proposes, you decide

It proposes actions with preview, confirmation and undo.

No data leaves your network

It runs on your server with open models.

For groups: the control tower

Several plants, one picture. Each site keeps its own MES and its own data; the tower reads everyone’s KPIs and compares them.

Interoperability

FlashHub MES talks to the ERP, the machines and the tools you already use.

ERP

Connectors for the most widely used ERPs (ARCA, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, Oracle NetSuite, Zucchetti, TeamSystem, Sage, Odoo and others): automatic order import and write-back of movements and allocations. For less common systems, mapping packages configured with an assisted workbench, without rewriting the MES.

Machines and readers

Connectors for industrial machines: OPC UA, Modbus TCP/RTU, MQTT, Siemens S7, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, MTConnect, digital I/O for signals and counters, barcode and RFID readers, network printers. Machine status, pieces and stoppages reach the MES in real time.

Microsoft 365 and Teams

Alerts, approvals and questions to the assistant right inside Microsoft Teams; notifications in Outlook; sign-in with the company Microsoft 365 account; dossiers and documents on SharePoint and OneDrive; linked Excel. Telegram, email and internal chat are available too.

API

Documented REST APIs and a connector for compatible assistants.

Built-in reliability

The MES watches over itself and keeps itself in shape. It is part of the product, not an add-on service.

  • Continuous real-time monitoring of services, database, disk space and machine connections, with immediate alerts to whoever needs to act
  • Proactive checks and maintenance while the company is idle: full functional checks, data optimisation and automatic clean-up, without disturbing anyone at work
  • Automatic backups with verified restore and an off-site copy
  • Updates with a return point: if the new version does not respond, the system rolls back to the previous one on its own

Frequently asked questions

Who is FlashHub MES for?

For leather goods makers and luxury companies, from the workshop with a single department to the group with several plants and subcontractors. It is introduced one department at a time, without stopping production, running alongside paper until the data is better than the paper.

Do we need to stop production to roll it out?

No. You start with one department and proceed one department at a time, alongside paper, until the MES data is better than the paper.

Does it integrate with the ERP we already use?

Yes. FlashHub MES connects to the most widely used ERPs (ARCA, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, Oracle NetSuite, Zucchetti, TeamSystem, Sage, Odoo and others) with automatic order import and write-back. For less common systems, a mapping package is configured with an assisted workbench.

Does production data stay in the company?

Yes. FlashHub MES and the VENANIX assistant run on your server with open models: no data leaves the company network.

How much does it cost?

It depends on departments, workstations and modules: you start with one department and grow. After the demo we prepare a tailored quote.
