Connected Manufacturing Operations Platform

AI-Powered. Execution-Focused. Outcome-Driven.

L2L’s Shop Floor Execution platform transitions shop floor intelligence into consistent, profitable execution across every shift, line, and plant.

Every shift brings variability: machines go down, schedules slip, and tribal knowledge stays locked in operators' heads. L2L eliminates this operational chaos. By capturing live data from machines and people, applying Execution AI to determine the best response, and orchestrating the right workflows, L2L empowers your frontline teams to solve problems in real time and hit their targets.

Shop Floor Execution: One Unified Platform. Powered by Execution AI.

Eliminate operational fragmentation by bringing your frontline capabilities together under a single enterprise system of action.

Maintenance

Shift from reactive firefighting to proactive reliability. L2L streamlines work requests, automates preventive maintenance, and equips technicians with real-time machine context and AI-assisted troubleshooting to reduce downtime and accelerate repairs.

Production

Track performance against shift targets in real time. L2L surfaces production losses as they happen, standardizes operator workflows, and triggers immediate escalation when output, quality, or cycle times drift off target.

Digital Work

Standardize how work gets done across every line and shift. Deliver step-by-step digital work instructions, checklists, and autonomous maintenance tasks directly to operators at the point of work.

Workforce & Skills

Ensure the right people are assigned to the right work on every shift. Track certifications, manage skills matrices, and embed training directly into daily workflows to close skill gaps on the floor.

Manufacturing Intelligence

Turn shop floor data into continuous improvement. Analyze cross-plant performance, uncover recurring root causes, and give leadership real-time visibility into OEE, downtime drivers, and operational trends.

Shop Floor Connectivity

Connect machines, sensors, PLCs, and enterprise systems (ERP, MES, CMMS, BI) into a single real-time execution layer so signals from the floor immediately trigger the right frontline action.

Turn Operational Signals Into Frontline Guidance

Move your team from looking back at reports to taking immediate, prescriptive action. Execution AI turns shop floor signals into automated guidance your frontline can trust.

Allows us to make more informed decisions

“It allows us to leverage our data and make more informed decisions. It’s forced us to reevaluate how we train technicians with AI to solve problems faster and more completely.”

- Jeremy Morrison, Transformation Analyst at Worthington

Positive impact on operational costs

“It’s changed the way we make decisions. We get information more quickly, more easily, and we’re able to make faster decisions. It gives us directions to get us exactly to the right spot.”

- Mike Kirkpatrick, Operational Excellence Specialist at Sonoco

A Modern System of Action, Not a Rigid Legacy Suite

Traditional legacy systems were built to record historical data, leaving teams to figure out how to respond after shift output is lost. L2L replaces fragmented tools with a single system of action that guides frontline teams in real time and scales rapidly across your global enterprise.

Traditional Legacy Suites / Modules
  • Siloed Point Solutions: Disconnected modules that don't share data across maintenance and production.

  • Passive Data Collection: Reports on what went wrong yesterday instead of preventing losses today.

  • Slow, Heavy IT Projects: Months or years of custom coding, costly consultants, and rigid deployments.

  • Low Frontline Adoption: Clunky interfaces built for back-office analysts, not shop floor operators.

L2L Shop Floor Execution Platform
  • Unified System of Action: All frontline workflows operating under one platform.

  • Prescriptive Execution AI: Real-time guidance telling teams what to do next.

  • Rapid Plant Rollouts: Deployed in as little as four weeks, serving as a blueprint for success across sites.

  • High Workforce Engagement: Intuitive tools designed for the frontline, driving 95%+ user adoption.

Close the Execution Gap with a Unified System of Action

Data alone doesn't eliminate downtime or drive throughput. L2L establishes a continuous operational feedback loop that turns raw shop floor signals into intelligent decisions and coordinated shift execution.

Execution AI

Open Platform Built for Your Existing Tech Stack

Whether you deploy L2L end-to-end or connect your existing MES, CMMS, or ERP solutions, our open integration layer unifies your operational data. Run L2L’s capabilities out-of-the-box or overlay Execution AI on top of legacy tools, delivering value in weeks without a costly, disruptive rip-and-replace.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about shop floor execution

How does L2L fit into our existing tech stack? Do we need to rip and replace our current systems?

No. L2L is designed to complement and enhance your existing technology investments. Our platform acts as the real-time system of action on the shop floor, seamlessly integrating with your enterprise systems of record (like SAP, Oracle, or Microsoft ERP), existing BI tools, and machine-level data sources (PLCs, SCADA, historians). L2L fills the operational execution gap between your top-floor planning systems and your physical production lines.

Is L2L an MES or a CMMS?

L2L is a unified Shop Floor Execution platform that brings together core capabilities traditionally fragmented across separate MES, CMMS, Quality, and Workforce tools. Instead of forcing your operators and technicians to toggle between disconnected point solutions, L2L provides a single platform to track production, manage reactive and preventive maintenance, execute digital standard work, and upskill workers—all in one place.

How does Execution AI actually work on the shop floor?

Unlike passive analytics tools that only generate historical charts, L2L’s Execution AI works in real time during the shift. It continuously monitors live machine and human signals to detect anomalies, diagnose root causes, and prescribe the next best action. Whether it’s automatically dispatching the right skilled technician to a line-stoppage or guiding an operator through an AI-assisted troubleshooting workflow, Execution AI turns data into immediate frontline action.

How quickly can we deploy L2L across our plants?

While traditional manufacturing software implementations can take months or years of custom coding and heavy IT consulting, L2L is built for rapid time-to-value. Our cloud-native, configurable architecture allows most plants to go live and start seeing measurable improvements in OEE, downtime, and labor productivity in just weeks—making it easy to standardize best practices and scale across your global enterprise.

Can L2L replace our MES?

In most plants, yes. It's also faster than re-implementing a legacy MES. L2L delivers the execution capabilities most teams actually use, without the bloat and IT overhead. For highly regulated environments needing full ISA-95 compliance, L2L is often deployed alongside an existing MES.

How does shop floor execution connect to maintenance and quality?

It's one platform, not three. An abnormality raised during execution can auto-trigger a maintenance work order. A quality fail can pause a line and escalate to a supervisor. One system of record, no communication gaps. L2L also covers core Connected Worker capabilities, like performance support, work instructions, and training, after the acquisition of SwipeGuide.
