Control Shift is a Dubai software team that builds manufacturing and field-service systems for UAE industry. From production planning and a shop-floor MES to quality, maintenance and engineer dispatch, we replace whiteboards, WhatsApp updates and end-of-month spreadsheets with live data — so downtime, scrap and job cost are visible the same shift, not the following month.
A manufacturing execution system turns the shop floor into data. We build capacity-aware planning, work orders that operators actually close on a terminal, and OEE dashboards fed by the machines themselves — so schedule adherence, scrap and true job cost stop being an argument between production and finance.
Capacity-aware schedules by line, shift and machine, with drag-and-drop rescheduling when priorities change.
Release, track and close work orders with operator, machine and material consumption captured at the source.
Multi-level bills of materials, alternates, scrap factors and process routings that reflect the real plant.
Availability, performance and quality per line, with coded downtime reasons instead of anecdotes.
Actual material, labour and overhead per batch compared to standard cost — variance visible the same day.
Rugged tablet and scanner interfaces that operators can use with gloves on, in Arabic or English.
Quality problems get expensive when nobody can trace them. We build inspection plans, non-conformance and CAPA workflows, and full batch-to-unit genealogy — connected to raw material, WIP and finished-goods stock so a recall question is answered from a screen rather than a warehouse search.
Inbound, in-process and final inspection plans with pass/fail rules, holds and non-conformance reports.
Full genealogy from raw batch to delivered unit — recall scope answered in minutes, not weeks.
ISO, HACCP and ESMA evidence captured digitally with signatures, timestamps and version control.
Corrective and preventive actions tracked to closure, with rework orders costed properly.
Raw material, WIP and finished-goods stock with bins, min/max levels and automated reorder triggers.
Requisitions, RFQs, purchase orders, landed cost and supplier scorecards feeding the same cost model.
Unplanned downtime is the most expensive line item nobody budgets for. We build preventive schedules, breakdown workflows and spare-parts control, with IoT condition monitoring where it pays — so maintenance shifts from firefighting to planned work, and every asset has a cost history you can act on.
Time, run-hour or condition-based schedules with checklists, spares and technician assignment.
Fault raised from the line, escalated by SLA and tracked to root cause with downtime cost attached.
Critical-spare levels, consumption per asset and reorder alerts that prevent a two-day wait for a bearing.
Full maintenance history, mean time between failures and cost per asset to justify replacement decisions.
Vibration, temperature and current sensors feeding predictive alerts before a failure stops the line.
Digital permits, toolbox talks, incident logs and safety inspections with a clean audit trail.
If your business installs, services or maintains equipment across the UAE, dispatch is the operation. We build scheduling that respects skills, zones and SLAs, a technician app that works without signal, and AMC contract management that bills every entitled visit — with job cost and first-time-fix rate visible per client.
Skill-, zone- and SLA-aware scheduling with a live map of every engineer and open job.
Job details, asset history, checklists, photos, parts used and customer signature — fully offline-capable.
Annual maintenance contracts, entitlements, visit schedules and renewal alerts managed automatically.
On-site quotes, approval capture and VAT invoicing raised from the completed job card.
Clients log requests, track engineer ETA, approve quotes and download service reports themselves.
First-time fix rate, SLA compliance, technician utilisation and profitability per contract.
UAE industry runs across mainland and free-zone entities, with a multilingual workforce and its own conformity paperwork. We build for that — bilingual operator screens, VAT-correct invoicing, ESMA and ISO evidence capture, and multi-plant consolidation across Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi and beyond.
5% VAT-compliant invoicing plus the quality and conformity documentation UAE manufacturers must keep.
Bilingual shop-floor terminals, technician apps and reports with proper right-to-left Arabic support.
Multi-entity, multi-plant setups across mainland and free-zone operations with consolidated reporting.
Transparent, fixed pricing — pick the tier that fits, and we lock the scope and cost in your 24-hour quote.

Your quote depends on the modules, user roles, integrations, data migration and rollout requirements. Share your workflow and priorities so we can recommend a focused first phase and provide an itemised proposal.
An ERP plans and accounts; a manufacturing execution system runs the shop floor in real time — work orders, machine and operator time, scrap, downtime and output per shift. Most UAE manufacturers keep their ERP for finance and add an MES layer so production data stops arriving a week late on a spreadsheet.
Yes. We connect PLCs, SCADA, IoT sensors, weighbridges, scales and handheld scanners so output, downtime and consumption are captured automatically instead of being typed in — with dashboards that show OEE per line as it happens.
We do. Dispatchers get scheduling and route planning; technicians get a mobile app with job history, checklists, photos, parts consumed, customer signature and offline mode — plus automatic job costing and invoicing once the visit closes.
Yes. We integrate via API or database connectors so items, BOMs, purchase orders and finished-goods postings flow both ways. Where the existing system is the constraint, we build alongside it rather than forcing a risky rip-and-replace.
A single module launches in roughly 6–10 weeks; a full MES or manufacturing ERP takes 4–6 months depending on integrations and plant complexity. You receive 100% source-code ownership and the Git repository on completion — no lock-in, ever.

Software maintenance and evolution typically account for a significant share of a product's total lifetime cost, which is why ongoing support matters as much as initial development.[1]
A practical AI scope, not a black box
Control Shift scopes AI software for production planners and quality teams. Production changes depend on materials, machine availability and quality holds. A plan that ignores a missing component or unreleased batch cannot be executed. The useful output is a reviewable result that fits the work already happening in your business.
Discuss this AI workflowScope AI MES assistance, production planning and maintenance-review queues. Visual quality inspection starts with a documented defect definition and representative images.
Connect approved work orders, machine events and quality records. Keep batch traceability and production-release permissions intact.
Illustrative project scope; not a claim of an existing customer deployment.
A language model prepares drafts from permitted context. Where document knowledge is needed, retrieval brings in approved sources with references. Restricted API tools handle only explicitly allowed actions. Validation, permissions and approval rules operate outside the model. If data is missing or a tool fails, preserve the draft and route it to a person.
AI does not override machine safety controls or certify product quality. Vision performance must be evaluated on the actual line and defect types.
Agree data minimisation, access, retention and audit logging during discovery. Hosting and provider terms are confirmed for the project before sensitive data is processed.
Map one workflow with the people who operate it. Review sample inputs, prototype the draft and approval steps, connect the required interfaces, and agree acceptance examples. Launch to a limited user group with a manual fallback. Monitor corrections, unresolved requests and operating costs before expanding.
The proposal depends on interface access, data cleanup, language coverage and approval complexity. Share your current systems and an anonymised example of the task to define an affordable first phase.
History can support pattern analysis and prioritised review. A reliable prediction scope depends on consistent failure labels, asset data and operating conditions.
Connect approved work orders, machine events and quality records. Keep batch traceability and production-release permissions intact.
Production and quality supervisors approve changes and release decisions. AI does not override machine safety controls or certify product quality. Vision performance must be evaluated on the actual line and defect types.
Both languages can be included in the project scope. Evaluate representative messages and documents with bilingual reviewers, agree terminology and provide clarification or handover when meaning is uncertain.
Data quality, available interfaces, permission rules, document or message variety and approval complexity determine the work. Start with one workflow, agree acceptance examples and expand after a reviewed pilot. A tailored proposal covers implementation and ongoing operating requirements.
Agree permitted data sources, role-based access, retention and provider terms before development. Use restricted service accounts and audit records. Hosting and residency options require project-specific confirmation; no certification or blanket compliance promise is implied.
