ECI Software Solutions Acquires Amper Technologies Inc. to Strengthen Shop Floor Intelligence!

ECI Software Solutions, a provider of AI-powered, cloud-based business management software and services, has announced the acquisition of Amper Technologies Inc., a manufacturing execution system (MES) company focused on real-time production visibility. The acquisition strengthens ECI’s capabilities in connecting shop floor operations with enterprise-level business systems, enabling manufacturers to gain deeper, actionable insights across their operations.

Amper Technologies is best known for its FactoryOS platform, which delivers real-time visibility into machine performance, job status, and labor utilization. The platform is designed to connect to virtually any machine on the shop floor, regardless of age, brand, or control system, making it accessible for manufacturers with mixed or legacy equipment. By continuously capturing and analyzing operational data, FactoryOS automatically identifies production bottlenecks and applies AI-driven insights to support faster, more informed decision-making.

With the integration of FactoryOS into ECI’s portfolio, manufacturers will be able to bridge the traditional gap between shop floor execution systems and ERP platforms. This unified approach allows production data to flow seamlessly into business management systems, improving accuracy in planning, scheduling, costing, and performance management while reducing reliance on manual data collection and disconnected tools.

Commenting on the acquisition, Trevor Gruenewald, CEO of ECI Software Solutions, said that bringing FactoryOS into ECI enables a level of connectivity between shop floor intelligence and ERP systems that was previously difficult to achieve. He noted that customers will benefit from a single, end-to-end view of their operations, creating a smarter and more efficient production environment powered by modern AI capabilities.

The acquisition reflects ECI’s broader strategy to expand its presence in the manufacturing sector by delivering integrated, data-driven solutions that improve operational efficiency, visibility, and responsiveness. By combining ECI’s ERP and business management expertise with Amper’s real-time MES technology, the company aims to help manufacturers improve throughput, reduce downtime, and make faster, more confident decisions.

Overall, the addition of Amper Technologies enhances ECI Software Solutions’ ability to support manufacturers across the full production lifecycle—from the shop floor to the top floor—while accelerating the adoption of AI-enabled manufacturing intelligence in increasingly competitive and complex production environments.
