The Smart Manufacturing Issue
In any manufacturing plant you’ll have a lot of design and production data. It’ll be in several different places, in several different formats. We need a smart decision making solution that can bring all of your data together so that it can be accessed, analysed and become actionable.
The ATS ADOS Solution
That’s where ATS ADOS comes in. ATS ADOS is the Smart Manufacturing & Industry 4.0 software suite that will allow you to collect, combine, analyse, report and act on production data.
Collect All Your Production Data
ATS ADOS starts by collecting your data… all of it. No matter whether it’s attribute, dimensional or operational, ATS ADOS has a solution that allows you to retrieve it both automatically and manually.
Data Contextualisation
To add value to the data ATS ADOS contextualises it, linking it to other relevant data. This turns that small piece of data into highly versatile intelligence that everyone will want a piece of.
Integrated Data Communication
To get your data from A to B, ATS ADOS utilises its own manufacturing services bus that will connect every level, from the servers on the factory floor right up to your management systems and everywhere in between.
A Cyber Physical System
ATS ADOS even creates a secure link between the real world and the virtual world, allowing you to compare exactly how things should be produced with how things have been produced.
A Smart Advisor
Managing so much of your data puts ATS ADOS in the perfect position to help make those important production decisions. As a Smart Advisor it can monitor production within the plant, carry out predictive analysis and offer advice when important choices need to be made.
Event Alarms
If anything does go wrong, ATS ADOS will tell the right people right away, no matter where they are in the world.
In-Depth Reporting and Analysis
And, finally, with the built-in reporting and analysis tools you can unleash the combined strength of all of your data sources allowing you to reveal hidden trends and access a whole new world of predictive analysis.

ATS Inspect
Catch defects. Improve quality. Reduce costs.
What is ATS Inspect?
ATS Inspect is Quality Inspection Software which reduces the costs in your manufacturing processes associated with scrap, rework and warranty claims in two ways:
Flexible Reporting
ATS Intelligence delivers essential OEE data via quick and clear reports, whether you need an overview of a single piece of equipment or for the whole plant. Live OEE data can be explored anywhere in the world using your internet browser.
- Collects and analyzes attribute data, such as dents and scratches, where defect information is critical to the production of quality parts.
- Collects and analyzes variable data to ensure that weights, temperatures, torques and any other critical measurements stay within specified limits.
Configurable for Any Industry
ATS Inspect can help improve quality in any manufacturing process in any industry where the collection and analysis of visual defects and variable data is required.
Quality Alerts
No matter where you are ATS Inspect can alert you if serious quality issues arise on your production line. If a quality issue occurs ATS Inspect can relay the required information to the relevant people by e-mail or using static display devices, such as message boards and overhead monitors.
Reporting and Analysis
Data collected by ATS Inspect can be viewed and analyzed using ATS ARS (Advanced Reporting Services). ATS ARS displays real-time quality data in an array of charts and tables. The web-based reports can be viewed anywhere in the world so that you can monitor performance even while on the road. You can even schedule reports to be generated and sent to the relevant people at regular intervals. Do you need that report on your desk first thing Monday morning? It’ll be there.

ATS Bus
ATS Bus is a Manufacturing Service Bus that will empower the data within your manufacturing environment so that you’re ready for the Industrial Internet of Things, Big Data, Smart Manufacturing and Industry 4.0.
Data Contextualisation
One of the key benefits of ATS Bus is the way it adds metadata to your data. By adding the context of how the data was collected in a standardized format data analytics engines are able to turn your data into information. This will allow you to attain knowledge about your plant that will lead to the wisdom required to develop predictive and intelligent agents for automated decision making.
Secure Connections
For secure environments ATS Bus can use secure connections. It can also check the “known good” against defined schemas ensuring, that from endpoint to endpoint, your data is in safe hands.
Built-in Resilience
ATS Bus also comes with built-in resilience as it “buffers” data locally and utilizes handshakes to ensure every piece of data arrives at its destination safe and sound. This will give you peace of mind that network latency issues and power outages won’t mean you lose data.
Monitor Data Exchanges
ATS Bus will allow you to remotely monitor all of your data exchanges so that you can keep track of the health of your system, monitor for processing errors, send failed messages for reprocessing and make sure that all of your specific environment’s needs are met.
Accelerate New Product Introduction
The flexibility of ATS Bus will even help you to accelerate new product introduction as it can easily distribute your centrally managed work instructions, machine instructions, recipes, and robot and CNC programs, in the shortest time possible.
Centrally Managed – Locally Decided
Some traditional IT systems and architectures can appear slow. This is generally due to servers being centrally located with the network delaying the messages going back and forth. With ATS Bus the data within the entire plant is available at every location enabling intelligent agents to make decisions locally.
This form of automated, predictive control is just one example of the many uses that ATS Bus can find for your data.
