I4Verse
The Synchronized Intelligent Enterprise
From Integrated Systems to a Living, Breathing Enterprise
In today’s manufacturing landscape, your greatest challenge isn’t a lack of data, but a surplus of silos. When your PLM, ERP, MES, and CRM operate in isolation, you face a cascade of inefficiencies: engineering changes stall in translation, production plans are based on outdated information, and customer feedback never reaches the design team. This disconnected reality creates friction, cost, and risk that strangles innovation and growth.
I4Verse is Actin’s answer to fragmentation. It’s not just another integration platform; it is a pre-architected, living ecosystem that unifies your mission-critical systems into a single, data-driven engine. By weaving a seamless digital thread from concept to customer, I4Verse transforms your enterprise from a collection of disparate tools into a synchronized, intelligent organism that anticipates, adapts, and excels.
The Power of a Cohesive Digital Core
Your competitive advantage in the digital age hinges on the fluid, real-time exchange of information across your entire value chain. I4Verse provides the foundational architecture for this new era of connected operations. It packages our deep cross-practice expertise into a single, business-ready solution that delivers a unified data model, end-to-end visibility, and a fully integrated technology stack.
With I4Verse, you achieve a state of operational harmony where:
A engineering change order in PLM automatically updates production schedules in ERP and work instructions in MES.
Real-time production performance data from the shop floor continuously optimizes inventory and procurement in SCM.
Customer usage data and feedback from CRM directly inform next-generation product innovation in PLM.
A single, trusted data entity flows seamlessly across all systems, eliminating reconciliation and ensuring integrity.
Quantifiable Outcomes from a Connected Enterprise
We move beyond theoretical benefits to deliver concrete, measurable business value. Implementing I4Verse establishes a foundation for sustained excellence and growth.
We deliver transformative outcomes that impact your bottom line:
Accelerate Time-to-Market by 25-40% by eliminating manual handoffs and ensuring all teams work from the same, real-time information.
Improve On-Time, In-Full (OTIF) Delivery by 20% through a responsive, demand-driven supply chain.
Reduce Unplanned Downtime by 20-30% with predictive insights derived from unified operational and enterprise data.
Increase Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) by 15-25% by providing a holistic view of availability, performance, and quality.
Cut Operational Costs by 10-15% by eliminating redundant data entry, reducing errors, and optimizing inventory levels.
The Architectural Pillars of I4Verse
I4Verse is built on a robust, future-proof architecture that goes beyond traditional point-to-point integration. Our approach, rooted in the ISA-95 framework and enhanced with modern IIoT and AI, creates a resilient and connected backbone for your enterprise.
A Single Source of Truth Across Your Enterprise.
The Challenge
Inconsistent, duplicate, and siloed data corrupts reporting, cripples automation, and leads to costly operational mistakes. The "part number" in engineering differs from the one in manufacturing, and the "customer" in sales doesn't match the one in service.
The I4Verse Solution
We implement a foundational Unified Data Model that acts as the single source of truth for your key business entities—Material, Customer, Vendor, and Product. This model governs data from creation to retirement, ensuring consistency, accuracy, and integrity across PLM, ERP, MES, and CRM.
Golden Record Management: Establish and maintain one authoritative record for every critical data entity.
Cross-Domain Data Harmonization: Automatically synchronize and validate data across system boundaries (e.g., eBOM to mBOM in PLM-ERP-MES flow).
Data Quality & Governance: Enforce data standards with workflow-driven creation, change, and retirement processes.

From Shop-Floor Sensor to Top-Floor Dashboard.
The Challenge
Decision-makers operate with a fragmented, delayed view of operations. Production bottlenecks are discovered too late, quality issues are traced manually, and the financial impact of shop-floor events takes weeks to understand.
The I4Verse Solution
We bridge the critical OT/IT gap, creating a real-time, bidirectional data pipeline. I4Verse connects directly to PLCs, SCADA, and IIoT sensors via our industrial gateways, feeding live data into a centralized Industrial Data Lake. This provides a live digital pulse of your operations, visualized through role-based dashboards.
Real-Time Production Monitoring: Live views of OEE, machine status, throughput, and work-in-progress (WIP).
Live KPI Dashboards: Role-based views for plant managers, quality heads, and CFOs, providing insights from process efficiency to project profitability.
Andon & Alerting Systems: Automated real-time alerts for deviations in quality, machine performance, or inventory levels.
Digital Twin Capabilities: Create virtual models of your production line to simulate, optimize, and de-risk operations before implementation.

Where Your Digital and Physical Operations Perfectly Align.
The Challenge
Disconnected systems create process friction and data dead-ends. A change in design doesn't automatically flow to production; a customer complaint doesn't trigger a quality investigation in the product record.
The I4Verse Solution
At the heart of I4Verse is our API-First Integration Hub. This is the central nervous system that orchestrates seamless, event-driven communication between your core platforms. We provide pre-built, industrial-strength connectors for leading ERP (SAP, Oracle), PLM (Windchill, Teamcenter), MES, and CRM systems, ensuring they work as one cohesive whole.
The Digital Thread in Action: Automate the flow of a Product Record from PLM to ERP (for costing and planning) to MES (for execution) and back again for as-built feedback.
Closed-Loop Quality: Connect quality non-conformances captured at inspection directly to the product record in PLM, triggering corrective actions and updating the digital history.
Customer-Driven Innovation: Feed field service data and customer feedback from CRM directly into the PLM system to inform engineering changes and new product development.
Unified Security & Compliance (DISC): Embed cybersecurity, data governance, and compliance controls across the entire integrated stack.
