Capture
One tap books the step.
Every order travels on a digital clipboard. Hold it to the scanner at the station, and the step is booked. That is all the capture there is.
Live on the shopfloor
Flow OS, the operating system of the factory
See your shopfloor live. Know what to do next.
Scanners, RFID and sensors capture every step on your shopfloor as it happens. Flow OS turns it into a live picture of your production flow, and Nori tells your team where to act next.Installed in one week. Effective the Monday after.

02 / flow os, live
This is Flow OS. Try it.
A digital clipboard, a scanner on the wall and a live board. That is all a step needs to be booked, seen and acted on.
Visualize
Every scan moves a card.
Each scan moves the order into its next column, live. Open any card for the full story: product, quantity, colour, material and every step it went through.
Automate
Nori builds the rule.
Tell Nori what to watch, in plain words. Nori turns the sentence into a rule, and from then on the board raises the alarm on its own.
Improve
Ask how to get better.
Ask Nori what to change. It answers from the history of every order on the board, not from a template.

It explains itself. Operators book with the hand movement they already make, from the first shift.
We’ll tell you what’s possible in your hall after a first look at one line, even when the answer is “not much.”
The question every owner asks
“Why are we only at 80 pieces today?”
Answering it takes data from the shopfloor. Most floors don’t produce any, so we bring the hardware that does.
04 / the hardware
This is how the floor produces data.
Three devices catch what happens on the floor, one shows it above the line. Every tap, every button and every reading becomes data, live. Try them.

05 / where the data comes from
Every order. Every machine.
Two sources feed Flow OS, live. People and orders are captured with one tap where the work happens. Every machine, old or new, of any make, gets a sensor that reads how it is running.
01
People and orders
LiveScanners, RFID clipboards and terminals at every station. One tap books a step, so each order shows where it is and how long it has waited.

All machines
LiveA sensor goes on any machine, from a new CNC to a 30-year-old press. It reads vibration, temperature, power and motion, so Flow OS knows when a machine runs, idles or starts to drift.
Flow OS puts both together: which order is on which machine, how long it has waited, and how that machine is running.

On-time delivery in September 2026
A brush maker with 30 employees. Measured from the first month.
We never quote a number without a baseline. This company started with Flow OS in July 2026. July was agreed as a test month, so there is a starting value.
- Management is no longer flying blind.The status of every order is visible at any time.
- Workers book their own steps at the terminal.Questions to supervisors have dropped noticeably.
- A second system is gone.The Trello board used for planning has been retired.

Hello, I am Nori.
You are never alone on the shopfloor. I am at your side with the knowledge of your whole factory. Ask me anything, out loud or with a tap, and I will show you what is happening, what matters and what to do next.
- Waiting before Assembly on Line 2, for 2 h 10 min. Pull it next.
- Line 2. Assembly is the bottleneck: 14 orders are waiting in front of it, so we are at 80 of 96 pieces.
- Eight percent more than last week. Line 3 had the best night.
- Pull A002 next, and move one person from Line 1 to Assembly on Line 2 for the afternoon.

Move one person from Line 1 to Assembly on Line 2. That clears the queue by noon.
Hello, I am Nori. With me, you are never alone on the shopfloor. I know what is happening in your factory right now, and I am always at your side. Just ask me where an order is, what matters most and what to do next. I will guide you, step by step.
You are never alone on the shopfloor.
Your factory already knows a great deal, but that knowledge sits in many heads. Nori brings it to your side the moment you need it, so nobody has to go looking for the one person who knows.
Like asking a colleague
“How did the night shift compare to last week?” No menu, no report to set up. Ask the way you would ask a person.
Ask the way you would ask a colleague. No menus, no reports.
How did the night shift compare to last week?
Eight percent more. Line 3 had the best night.
Speaks up when it matters
While everything runs, Nori stays quiet. When something needs you, Nori tells you, so nothing slips past you.
Quiet while everything runs. Speaks up when you are needed.

- Then
Expand
Connect the next flow, line, hall or site. More use of the same system, not a new IT project.
09 / who it’s for
A good fit if four things are true.
Manual or hybrid manufacturing
People create the value, not robot cells.
Many manual handovers
Several stations, work in progress and changing priorities. Headcount is only a rough guide.
Plan in the ERP, execution in the dark
Nobody knows in real time what’s happening on the floor.
No dedicated team for it
No developers, no lean team. That’s who Flow OS is built for.
Built for manufacturers across Europe, starting in Germany, not for corporations that scale it down after the fact. If you run a fully automated line or have your own development team, we’re probably not the right fit, and we’ll tell you so in the first conversation.

We calculate your offer individually, based on requirements, hardware and software usage, number of process steps and users. All prices are net, plus VAT. What’s included in each tier is agreed in the first conversation. You can add a board, a user or a feature later with one click. We’ll check together which funding programs apply to your project.
11 / questions
What managing directors ask us first.
No. Your ERP knows the plan: what should happen. We close the gap behind it: what actually happens. We pull orders and items in from the ERP.
Not on day one. We start with the simplest hardware that captures each step reliably: scanners, RFID clipboards, a button or a terminal at the station. Machines come in where they help: a sensor goes on any machine, new or old, and reads vibration, temperature, power and motion. We’ll see what makes sense for your hall on the Potential-Discovery Day.
Ten minutes per person. Capture itself needs no training, because it’s built into the motion the operator makes anyway. Nobody has to speak, either: every view can also be tapped.
Then Nori asks back instead of guessing. If Nori doesn’t know something, it says so. Nori speaks German and English. At the shopfloor wall, the rule is: let it finish, then ask again.
That’s normal among our customers. Setup, operation and further development are handled by us and our partners. What you need is someone on the floor who thinks along.
Either. Make Work Flow builds the product, the hardware and the method. Certified Lean Partners run Potential-Discovery Days and install Flow OS with the same standard building blocks, often close to you and in your language. Support comes from us either way.
A board, maybe. But building it yourself stops at the shopfloor door: scanners, the digital clipboard, the card that carries an order through the hall, the sensor on an old press, data from years of real installations. Nobody builds that on the side.
It belongs to you. Make Work Flow is a German company, and Flow OS runs on our own technology stack. We’ll go through operation and storage location in detail in the first conversation.
12 / talk to us
Show us one line. We’ll show you how it can flow.
An intro call takes 20 to 30 minutes and needs no preparation. Afterwards you’ll know whether your production is the right case, and we’ll tell you if it isn’t.
