The origin
Why we built POM.
POM was not designed at a desk. It exists because we had to solve a highly complex manufacturing problem ourselves – and the available tools did not meet our bar.
Powertune
A plant where hundreds of parts become one product.
Powertune Spezialkabelsysteme GmbH & Co. KG builds complex cable systems for demanding industrial applications – automotive, machine building, special vehicles, aerospace. A single harness unites wires, connectors, contacts, seals, conduits, heat-shrink, fasteners, markings and customer-specific parts – each with its own lead time, its own inspection requirement, its own drawing.

The problem
Many dependent operations, long procurement times, differing qualifications, traceability, complaints, dispatch – and tools that each knew only a slice of it: spreadsheets, islands, shouting across the floor.
-
The decision
Instead of buying another compromise, we built the operational layer ourselves: a platform between order and production that connects planning, people, machines, quality and data.
-
150+
employees work with it every day, since version 1.0
The result
POM – in daily use at a company of over 150 people. And because the logic hangs on operations, capacity and dates rather than on cables, it carries into many manufacturing industries.

Where the platform is heading
Roadmap – clearly labelled.
These topics are future architecture. None of them is available today or part of any licence – they show how POM is designed to grow.

01 Roadmap · not available
POM Mobile
iOS and Android on the same backend: orders, BDE, photos, approvals on the shop floor.
-
02 Roadmap · not available
POM Customer
A portal where your customers follow their own orders – internal steps mapped to a few clean external states. Data stays on your server.
-
03 Roadmap · not available
Machine Connectivity
The machine client at the line already exists in POM MES. Automatic machine data is in progress – orders down, feedback up, without retyping.

04 Roadmap · not available
License Gateway
One-time activation, then a signed local licence – production never depends on a permanent WEKAS connection.
Built in manufacturing. Built for manufacturing.
Every module, no contract. We set up the server together with you – and you talk to the people who write the software.
