Global HVAC manufacturer in a 4x ramp-up
In industrial equipment, one late part can stall an entire build schedule
A supplier slip, a quality hold, an engineering change: in industrial equipment manufacturing, one disruption runs through machining, assembly, and test faster than your teams can respond. Pelico surfaces the impact early and coordinates the recovery, so your build schedules hold.

Fewer shortages, on-time builds, more productive teams
Past Pelico deployments have delivered:
Part shortages
-37%
Fewer units blocked waiting on one component
On-time delivery
+15%
Builds shipped on the promised date more consistently, through earlier detection
Productivity
+30%
Planners spend their time recovering builds, not assembling reports
The execution gap
One late component can hold back a hundred finished units
In industrial equipment, the build schedule and what the floor can actually build are two different things, and the distance between them is too wide to close with weekly clear-to-build spreadsheets. That distance is the execution gap: plans are built in systems that assume stability, and executed in conditions that offer none.
Nobody sees how many units one part blocks
A slipped component or a late engineering change runs through multi-level BOMs, routings, and every order that shares the part. The full count only shows once units are already waiting in the yard.
The fix is already in the building
Purchasing, planning, production, quality, and engineering each catch the same shortage in a different system. The alternate that would unblock the line sits in someone’s inbox.
Trade-offs wait for the weekly review
Which order to resequence, which alternate to approve, which customer to warn: those calls wait for the next review. By then the build has slipped and the overtime is already booked.
How Pelico orchestrates industrial equipment manufacturing execution
Pelico is the Manufacturing Orchestration Platform that closes the execution gap. It reads what's actually happening across ERP, suppliers, and the shop floor, traces where a disruption lands, and coordinates the response while the build can still ship on time.
Every team sees which builds a part blocks
Pelico connects ERP, PLM, supplier portals, quality systems, and the shop floor into one picture. It traces a late part through multi-level BOMs and routings to every work order it holds up, so clear-to-build reflects what the floor can actually build.
The fix reaches the people who can approve it
When a part slips, the buyer, the planner, and engineering see it in the same place, with alternates and resequencing options beside it. Ownership is explicit, and specialized AI agents take the defined steps while people make the calls, so blocked units move.
Leaders know which revenue is at risk this week
Pelico rolls clear-to-build and shortage risk up by plant, line, and customer order, so leaders see which revenue is exposed, which action protects it, and what it costs. They decide early, instead of paying for the delay in overtime.
FAQ
In engineer-to-order work, the BOM keeps moving after the build starts. When an engineering change lands, Pelico traces it through the multi-level BOM to the units, parts, and delivery dates it affects, so planners can re-plan before it shows up on the floor as a shortage.
Know exactly which builds the late part holds back and which customer orders sit behind them. Pelico shows that as soon as the new date reaches the ERP, so planners can chase the supplier, move stock from another order, or change the build sequence before a ship date slips. A global HVAC manufacturer reached 93% clear-to-build within eight weeks of a steep ramp-up.
Pelico is a fit for discrete manufacturers building complex, multi-level equipment, from engineer-to-order to series production: products assembled from hundreds of parts and many suppliers, where one late component can hold back a finished unit. Examples include manufacturers of HVAC and other building systems, data center cooling, and electrical equipment.
