What explitia does

explitia (legal name EXPLITIA S.A.) is a Poland-based, private joint-stock company founded around 2021 and headquartered in Piekary Śląskie, with 43 employees. It operates as an enterprise-focused systems integrator and MES-class software vendor targeting manufacturing plants across multiple verticals, including automotive, food and dairy, glass and ceramics, furniture, cosmetics, seat foam, grain and milling, and defense. The company addresses the core manufacturing challenge of fragmented, siloed production data by connecting shopfloor data (machines, operators, sensors) with business systems (ERP, WMS, SCADA) into a unified digital environment.

The company's core technology is the Production Portal, a modular MES-class platform built on a separation of Engine (process adaptation), Presentation (user interface), and Tools (monitoring and diagnostics). The platform ships with 18+ modules covering OEE, Andon, EMS, SPC, Orders, PDM (predictive maintenance using machine learning), E-Instruction, QSystem, CMMS, eKanban, TRC (traceability), Forms, Production, LIMS, WMS, APS, Integration, and a proprietary ERP. The platform supports both on-premise and hybrid cloud deployment. explitia is also developing a SLAM system (vision camera + UWB) for indoor industrial localisation and object tracking, funded by the European Funds for Silesia 2021-2027 programme (PLN 2.14M EU contribution, project period April 2025 – March 2027). The firm holds TISAX AL2 certification and is a certified implementation partner for AVEVA, with additional competencies in Siemens, MPDV, COPA-DATA, and KEPServerEX stacks.

explitia's revenue model combines software licensing and subscription (Production Portal modules, tiered 24/7, 16/5, and 8/5 SLA packages), professional services (IT integration, SCADA and MES implementation, AVEVA deployment, consulting, audits), and EU-funded R&D grants. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales with a free 6–8 hour on-site 360° workshop at the client's facility as the primary funnel qualifier, supported by active participation at Hannover Messe, Interpack, AVEVA World, Warsaw Industry Week, and other manufacturing conferences. Target buyers are plant managers, production directors, and digital transformation officers at mid-to-large manufacturing companies, with a geographic focus on Poland and Central Europe and growing international presence in DACH and the US.

Expansion highlights7 records

Regional players

• Lighthouse Systems: UK-based MES specialist (Workbench) focused on food & beverage and discrete manufacturing. Closely comparable in size, vertical mix (food/process), and project-led delivery model, though geographically Western European vs. explitia's CEE focus.

Broad incumbents

• Siemens Digital Industries: Global incumbent offering Opcenter Execution (formerly Camstar) MES, SIMATIC IT, and integrated automation. explitia holds Siemens implementation competencies and competes for the same enterprise digital-manufacturing RFPs.
• Rockwell Automation: Global industrial automation incumbent offering FactoryTalk MES, Plex, and broader controls portfolio. Competes for enterprise MES spend, particularly with multi-plant North American and Western European manufacturers.
• AVEVA (Schneider Electric): Global industrial software incumbent (System Platform, MES, PI System, Historian). explitia is both a partner and a competitor — partner when delivering AVEVA implementations, competitor when pitching its own Production Portal against AVEVA MES.
• Körber / HighJump MES: Software conglomerate with a manufacturing execution and supply-chain suite. Overlaps with explitia's WMS/APS/ERP-adjacent offerings and competes for IT-modernisation budgets at mid-to-large European manufacturers.

Direct peers

• Critical Manufacturing: Portuguese MES vendor providing a modular MES platform for electronics, medical devices, and discrete manufacturing. Comparable as a modern, modular MES offering pitched at mid-to-large manufacturers undergoing Industry 4.0 transformations.
• COPA-DATA: Austrian SCADA/HMI and MES vendor behind the zenon platform. explitia is a certified zenon implementation partner and competes for the same industrial process automation and MES projects in the DACH and CEE regions.
• FORCAM: German-headquartered MES/IIoT vendor focused on shop-floor connectivity and OEE for discrete manufacturers. Directly comparable as a European MES specialist targeting mid-market factories with cloud-enabled production monitoring.
• MPDV: German MES software vendor with the HYDRA MES suite, widely deployed in European discrete manufacturing. explitia explicitly holds MPDV Hydra MES implementation competencies and competes in the same SME/mid-market European MES segment.

Emerging players

• iBASEt: US MES provider focused on aerospace, defense, and complex discrete manufacturers (Solumina MES). Comparable as a specialised MES vendor with regulated-industry credentials; relevant given explitia's defense and automotive exposure.
