Epicor Connected Process Control (CPC) is a flexible no-code/low-code MES and manufacturing operations platform that helps manufacturers standardize production and assembly processes, improve quality, and increase visibility across the shop floor. Using digital work instructions with multimedia content, manufacturers can guide operators through critical tasks, enforce process control, and improve consistency across products, workstations, and production lines. CPC connects equipment and devices to collect production and quality data in real time, helping manufacturers identify issues faster, reduce waste, and support continuous improvement. CPC provides product traceability with a complete historical record of each product's build and inspection history. Manufacturers use CPC to support assembly verification, error proofing, quality inspections, operator guidance, and other connected manufacturing initiatives. For manufacturers with complex product variations, CPC can dynamically present the correct work instructions based on the product or configuration being built, helping ensure products are assembled accurately and consistently. Available on-premises or in the cloud, CPC scales from a single work cell to enterprise-wide deployments.

Pipefy is a low-code Business Orchestration and Automation Technologies (BOAT) platform designed to act as a modern middleware layer for the enterprise stack. Rather than replacing existing Systems of Record (SORs) like SAP, Oracle, or Salesforce, Pipefy wraps them in an agile orchestration layer. This architecture allows technical teams to modernize legacy operations and extend the life of core systems without the risks associated with "rip and replace" projects. Pipefy provides the infrastructure to sanitize data inputs, manage complex business logic, and orchestrate API calls between fragmented endpoints. Technical & Architectural Highlights: • Adaptive Governance Framework: Pipefy solves the "Shadow IT" problem by establishing IT-sanctioned "Safe Zones." Business users can build workflows within these guardrails, while IT retains control over critical data, integrations, and permissions via a centralized console. • Agentic AI Engine (BYOLLM): The platform features a governable AI Agent Studio. Unlike "black box" solutions, Pipefy supports a Bring Your Own LLM approach, allowing enterprises to integrate preferred models (Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock) securely to automate document analysis (OCR) and decision-making. • Robust Connectivity: Built with an API-first philosophy, Pipefy offers a GraphQL API, Webhooks, and enterprise-grade iPaaS capabilities to ensure seamless data interoperability across the stack. • Security & Compliance: Engineered for regulated industries, the platform is ISO 27001, ISO 27701, and SOC2 Type II certified, supporting compliance with GDPR and SOX standards. Pipefy empowers IT leaders to eliminate technical debt and clear development backlogs by safely delegating low-complexity builds to business units.
