Less manual work. Faster throughput. Fewer errors.

HQ Solutions automates digital and physical workflow for businesses. Experience on both sides of the problem: manufacturing operations where the work is physical, and software development where the work is data. Most bottlenecks live where those two meet.

Custom software and internal tools

The tool your process actually needs, instead of the spreadsheet it has outgrown. Input capture, validation rules, and reports people act on rather than export and ignore.

Systems integration

ERP, MES and the machines on the floor, connected through APIs so a number is entered once and everything downstream agrees with it.

Data, dashboards and OEE

Availability, performance and quality measured from the source, so throughput conversations start from the same figures on the floor and in the office.

Prototyping and proof of concept

A working version early, on the real process with real data, so the decision to build the full system is made on evidence rather than a proposal.

03 · Approach

One engineer for the whole loop

Automation projects usually stall at a handoff: the software vendor does not know how the line runs, and the equipment vendor does not touch the data. Working both sides removes that seam.

  1. 01Walk the process and map where time, rework and judgement are actually spent.
  2. 02Name the two or three steps worth automating first, and what each is worth.
  3. 03Prove it small, on real data, before anything is committed to.
  4. 04Build, integrate and hand over documented, so your team owns it afterward.

04 · About

Manufacturing side

Manufacturing experience working vendors, and optimizing for speed, quality and cost. Failure mode analysis and process improvement analysis are the working methods: find where the process breaks, quantify what it costs, then change the step rather than the symptom.

Software side

Software development experience automating from user input, to data validation, to actionable reports for users, as well as automating tasks using AI to speed up user workflow. The result is fewer manual touches between something happening and someone being able to act on it.

Who I work with

Small and mid-size manufacturers where plant and operations leaders own the outcome, operations and IT directors at larger firms, and product teams that need embedded and software work carried by the same person.

Tell me what the bottleneck is

A short description of the process and where it slows down is enough to start. If it is not something I should take on, I will say so and point you somewhere better.
