Carmen · Factory management software
Carmen — the management
software that is still
standing, and has been modernized.
Carmen is the long-standing management program of the iLEAN ecosystem: inventory control, production and factory administration. It has spent more than a decade in real production, in plants that depend on it. It is still active, maintained and evolving — today it integrates with the IRIS industrial AI system and the iLEAN Tracer module, without losing what already worked for the customers who have been running it for years.
Some industrial software is here to stay. Carmen is that kind.
A factory that has spent a decade on a management system that works does not want to throw it away and start from scratch. What it wants is to keep leveraging what is already proven — and at the same time enter the industrial AI era without breaking processes. That is Carmen's promise today: the continuity of what you already know, with the connection to the IRIS central brain and to iLEAN's specialized agents.
You do not have to choose between your classic system and industrial AI. Carmen is the piece that connects both worlds in plants that have been running for years.
What Carmen does today
- Inventory control — receipts, issues, stock by location, valuation.
- Production management — work orders, production reports, consumption, basic quality.
- Factory administration — customers, suppliers, delivery notes, operational invoicing.
- Integration with iLEAN Tracer — GS1 traceability flows out of Carmen automatically.
- Connection to the IRIS system — Carmen's data feeds the central brain; the agents use it to serve context.
Migrating from a classic Carmen installation
If you have had Carmen installed for years, the migration to the version integrated with iLEAN Tracer and IRIS is done in phases, without losing history or critical configurations:
- Connection to the central brain — Carmen's data starts feeding IRIS, without touching the interface your people know.
- Modernization of critical interfaces — touch screens, mobile, integration with iLEAN Writer labeling.
- Agent activation — Suppliers, Quality, Planning start serving context on top of Carmen's data.
Each phase delivers value before the next one starts. No big bang.
About Carmen
What is Carmen?
Carmen is the long-standing management program of the iLEAN ecosystem: inventory control, production and factory administration. It has spent more than a decade in real production and is still active. Today it integrates with the IRIS industrial AI system and the iLEAN Tracer module.
Is Carmen still a living product?
Yes. Carmen is still active, maintained and evolving. It has been modernized to integrate with the IRIS system — it is now part of the iLEAN Tracer traceability and management module, without losing what already worked.
Can I migrate my Carmen installation to the current version?
Yes. Classic Carmen installations can be migrated to the version integrated with iLEAN Tracer and IRIS without losing history or critical configurations. The migration is planned in phases — first connect to the central brain, then modernize interfaces, and finally activate agents.
Running Carmen and want to modernize it?
We keep what works and connect you to the IRIS system in phases.
