Epicor Connected Process Control
Epicor Connected Process Control provides a simple-to-use software solution that allows you to configure digital work instructions and enforce process control. It also ensures that operations are error-proof. Connect IoT devices to collect 100% time studies and process data, images and images at the task level. Real-time visibility and quality control on a new level! eFlex can handle any number of product variations or thousands of parts, whether you are a component-based or model-based manufacturer. Work instructions can be linked to Bill of Materials, ensuring that products are built correctly every time, even if changes are made during the process. Work instructions that are part a system that is advanced will automatically react to model and component variations and only display the right work instructions for what's currently being built at station.

Pipefy
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.

Model Predictive Control Toolbox
The Model Predictive Control Toolbox™ offers a comprehensive suite of functions, an intuitive app, Simulink® blocks, and practical reference examples to facilitate the development of model predictive control (MPC) systems. It caters to linear challenges by enabling the creation of implicit, explicit, adaptive, and gain-scheduled MPC strategies. For more complex nonlinear scenarios, users can execute both single-stage and multi-stage nonlinear MPC. Additionally, this toolbox includes deployable optimization solvers and permits the integration of custom solvers. Users can assess the effectiveness of their controllers through closed-loop simulations in MATLAB® and Simulink environments. For applications in automated driving, the toolbox also features MISRA C®- and ISO 26262-compliant blocks and examples, allowing for a swift initiation of projects related to lane keep assist, path planning, path following, and adaptive cruise control. You have the capability to design implicit, gain-scheduled, and adaptive MPC controllers that tackle quadratic programming (QP) problems, and you can generate an explicit MPC controller derived from an implicit design. Furthermore, the toolbox supports discrete control set MPC for handling mixed-integer QP challenges, thus broadening its applicability in diverse control systems. With these extensive features, the toolbox ensures that both novice and experienced users can effectively implement advanced control strategies.
