Azumuta vs seaspasoft – which is better?

Azumuta vs Sepasoft:
Which MES Fits Your Factory?

Azumuta empowers factories to launch digital work instructions in days

Azumuta and Sepasoft both tackle Manufacturing Execution, but they start from opposite ends of the shop floor. Azumuta unifies Digital Work Instructions, inline quality, audits, skills management and live dashboards in a single no-code SaaS that frontline teams can learn in hours and you can deploy in weeks.

Sepasoft, built on the Ignition SCADA platform, delivers powerful OEE, Track & Trace, and SPC modules—but roll-outs often rely on system integrators and months of custom scripting.

Both improve performance, yet Azumuta’s ready-made suite gives manufacturers a faster, lower-overhead path to standardising processes and data right at the line.

Previously, as an organization, we relied heavily on the discipline of the operators to fill in the necessary production reports. With Azumuta, we can send the necessary reminders to the operators if necessary. Moreover, we can monitor in real time whether they have actually filled in the production reports at the scheduled time.

What Makes Azumuta Unique

Best-in-class Digital Work Instructions

Azumuta hands engineers a drag-and-drop canvas that turns mechanical drawings, photos, GIFs and short video clips into crystal-clear work instructions any operator can follow on the first try. Version control is automatic, so no one ever builds from an outdated PDF, while granular step permissions let senior techs update single images without touching the rest of the template. QR codes link each station to the latest release; operators simply scan and start.

Built-in AI converts old Word routers or CAD BOMs into draft instructions in seconds, slashing authoring time. Multilingual translation happens with one click, and an offline cache ensures tablets keep running even if the Wi-Fi hiccups. No coding, plugins or IT tickets required—just publish and build.

Unlike Sepasoft, you don’t need Ignition scripting or a third-party editor—operators build and update instructions on the fly.

In-line Quality Assurance

Azumuta embeds interactive quality gates directly inside every instruction step, putting poka-yoke protection where errors actually occur. Operators record torque values, dimensions, or photos right on the tablet, and the system refuses to advance until data meet spec, eliminating downstream scrap.

Conditional branching automatically launches rework instructions when a measurement drifts, while instant alerts notify quality engineers on Microsoft Teams or email. All collected data streams into SPC dashboards in real time, making process drift visible before it hits reject bins.

Because quality, work instructions, and NCR workflows live in the same platform, there’s no juggling separate QMS licenses, paper check sheets, or manual data merges—auditors get a complete, tamper-proof trail with one click.

Results flow straight into Azumuta dashboards; Sepasoft users often juggle a separate SPC module or custom tags.

Skills Matrix & Training

Azumuta maintains a live, color-coded skills matrix that updates the moment an operator completes a task, passes a test or lapses a certification, providing supervisors with an at-a-glance view of shop-floor competence. When staffing a new line, planners drag workers onto process steps and instantly see whether coverage is green, yellow or red.

Gaps trigger automated training assignments built from the same multimedia instruction library, so learning content is always aligned with reality on the floor. Completion records sync to HR systems through open APIs, satisfying ISO and OSHA documentation requirements without duplicate data entry.

The result is shorter onboarding, assured compliance and a workforce that can pivot rapidly as product mix or takt time changes.

Azumuta auto-matches certified operators to jobs, a function not included in Sepasoft’s OEE stack.

Skill Matrix & Training
A digital skill matrix interface displays a list of workers and their skill levels in various tasks such as Cleaning, Assembly, Pre-Assembly, Packaging, and Testing. One skill status shows

Audits & Digital Checklists

Azumuta lets quality managers convert dense ISO 9001, IATF 16949, or AS9100 clauses into intuitive digital checklists that mirror the daily language of operators, ensuring auditors and production teams finally share a common framework.

Each checklist step supports photos, annotations, numeric limits, and mandatory signature capture, removing the ambiguity that plagues paper forms. Findings can trigger corrective-action workflows, assign owners and set due dates, all within the same interface—no more scattered emails or spreadsheet trackers.

Because audit data sits in the same database as work instructions and skills records, cross-referencing a non-conformance to a specific batch, operator, or tool takes seconds. Scheduled reminders and real-time completion dashboards keep audits on track and certification bodies impressed.

Audit findings sync instantly—no extra Sepasoft Track & Trace licence or tag mapping required.

Dashboards & Reports

Azumuta streams production, quality and training data into live dashboards the moment an operator completes a step, giving plant managers up-to-the-minute OEE, first-pass yield, scrap and cycle-time metrics without waiting for nightly ETL jobs.

Widgets are fully drag-and-drop, so leaders can build department-specific cockpits—maintenance watches MTBF, engineering tracks changeover duration, HR monitors training compliance. Drill-through links jump straight from a red KPI to the offending instruction step or machine, accelerating root-cause analysis.

Reports export to PDF, Excel or open REST APIs for enterprise BI tools, yet most teams find native visualizations sufficient. Automated threshold alerts ping smartphones the instant performance drifts, enabling rapid countermeasures and turning continuous improvement from a quarterly review to a daily habit.

You get OEE, downtime and first-pass yield out-of-the-box, without the Ignition gateway tuning Sepasoft needs.
