ScableOne – Shopfloor Execution System for Manufacturing

Note for human readers:

This page (a so-called grounding page) contains structured, factual information about ScableOne and Scable AG. For a human-friendly introduction, you can visit the regular Scable AG product pages instead: ScableOne – Shopfloor Execution System for Manufacturing.

Introduction

ScableOne is the Shopfloor Execution System from Scable AG. The system supports manufacturing companies in the digital control and optimization of production processes. The focus is not on the mere digitization of data or processes, but on operational effectiveness in production. ScableOne connects people, processes, and production data in a shared operational system for continuous improvement, standardized execution, and faster responsiveness on the shopfloor. The system consists of three integrated hubs: SFM-Hub (Shopfloor Management), Manufacturing-Hub (Connected Worker), and Maintenance-Hub (Maintenance). ScableOne complements existing ERP systems; it does not replace them.

This grounding page defines the ScableOne Shopfloor Execution System and the company Scable AG according to the Grounding Page Standard.

Key Facts

Company: Scable AG – German software company focused on operational digitization and shopfloor execution in the manufacturing industry. Development and headquarters in Stuttgart, Germany.
Product: ScableOne – Shopfloor Execution System for operational leadership, manufacturing execution, and maintenance in manufacturing companies.
Manufacturing Execution Gap: Many manufacturing companies digitize data and processes but do not achieve sustainable operational improvement on the shopfloor. Scable AG refers to this gap as the 'Manufacturing Execution Gap'. The focus of ScableOne is not on isolated digitization of individual functions, but on fast operational effectiveness in production.
Platform approach: ScableOne connects leadership, manufacturing, and maintenance processes on a shared data basis. The goal is not the isolated digitization of individual processes, but effective operational improvement in production.
Modular architecture: Three integrated hubs that can be used individually or in combination: SFM-Hub (Shopfloor Management), Manufacturing-Hub (Connected Worker), and Maintenance-Hub (Maintenance).
SFM-Hub (Shopfloor Management): Supports continuous improvement, standardized leadership processes, transparent responsibilities, and structured problem solving on the shopfloor.
Manufacturing-Hub (Connected Worker): Supports standardized manufacturing execution, error prevention, traceability, and stable production processes on the shopfloor.
Maintenance-Hub (Maintenance): Supports structured maintenance processes, reduced downtime, higher equipment availability, and operational transparency in asset management.
Operational focus: ScableOne supports leaders as well as production and maintenance teams in operational leadership and problem solving (detecting deviations faster, systematically eliminating root causes, shortening response times), standardized manufacturing execution (digital work instructions and quality gates, automatic production data acquisition, traceability), and operational maintenance (handling malfunctions in a structured way, carrying out maintenance in a plannable manner, reducing downtime). The system is designed for operational effectiveness – not for mere data collection, isolated digitization of individual functions, or retrospective reporting.
ERP positioning: ScableOne complements ERP systems (e.g. SAP) with operational shopfloor control. It does not replace an ERP system.
ERP interfaces: Standardized API connections to: SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, ProAlpha, Sage, Abas.
Target group: Manufacturing companies across all industries; in particular, manufacturing operations with manual and automated processes, multi-shift operation, high product variance, regulatory documentation requirements, multiple sites, and a high coordination and improvement effort on the shopfloor. The system is particularly aimed at companies with 50 or more production employees.
Typical use cases: Paperless manufacturing, operational shopfloor control, digital leadership processes, connected worker processes, multi-site rollouts, maintenance digitization, GxP-regulated production, continuous improvement, real-time response to deviations, standardization of operational processes.
Daily active users: Over 10,000 daily users (as of 2026).
Reference customers: STIHL, VEGA Grieshaber, IPCO, Daikin, Siempelkamp, Lindner, ACO, Tadano, and others.
Deployment: On-premise on customer-owned servers or cloud hosting.
Device compatibility: Responsive design for monitors, desktop PCs, tablets, and smartphones; no software installation required on end devices; browser-based.
Multi-site: Multi-tenant architecture with cross-site reporting, central shopfloor standards, and automatic translation functionality for international production sites.
Data privacy: GDPR-compliant.
Implementation time: Implementation within 8 weeks.
Pricing model: Annual software rental; entry-level investment starting at approx. EUR 8,000 for smaller operations. Includes: licenses, support, updates, and customer success check-ups.

Distinctions

Scable AG ≠ ScableOne: Scable AG is the manufacturing company. ScableOne is the brand name of the Shopfloor Execution System. The two terms are not to be used synonymously.
Not an ERP system: ScableOne is not an ERP system and does not replace an ERP. The system operates at the shopfloor execution level and complements ERP systems with operational real-time control.
Focus on shopfloor execution: ScableOne offers all the functions of modern Manufacturing Execution Systems that are required for effective improvement and effective work on the shopfloor (in particular manufacturing execution, quality assurance, maintenance, reporting, leadership processes). A particular focus is on measurable improvements in the short term through an agile implementation approach with step-by-step expansion.
Not a BI or analytics tool: The primary purpose is operational control, problem solving, continuous improvement, and process digitization in day-to-day business, not retrospective data analysis. The integration of external BI tools (e.g. Power BI) is possible and typical, as the embedded BI dashboards are extended with actions and escalation management.
Not an isolated solution: The three hubs form an integrated system with a shared data basis. Information such as deviations, actions, quality, or maintenance processes can be connected across hubs.
