Manufacturing software for real business needs
In manufacturing, one size rarely fits all. At Helmes, we help organisations improve efficiency and decision-making with custom platforms built around actual production and operational workflows. We connect fragmented systems and data into reliable digital ecosystems that deliver immediate value and create strong foundations for automation and AI adoption.
The next phase of manufacturing digitalisation
Manufacturing is entering a new phase of digital transformation shaped by advanced manufacturing and the Industry 5.0 vision of a more sustainable, resilient, and human-centric industry. AI has the potential to accelerate this shift, yet only 17% of manufacturing companies in the EU used AI in 2025, compared to 20% across all sectors.
