Mantra Labs’ workplace culture is built around the ethos of Maximising Human Potential. We actively invest in giving employees the freedom they desire — to be better at what they do and explore new areas of interest. We’re up for whatever it takes to keep the spirits up — including outings, celebrations and parties!
A Sneak-peek into Mantra Labs Workplace Culture
1. We’re a TEAM and not just a bunch of individuals!
As they say — none of us is as smart as all of us. We’re a firm believer in teamwork and its importance at the workplace.
Teamwork fosters creativity and learning. By working together, you build on the talents of your teammates. Every time you see a co-worker apply a different approach, you get a chance to adjust/improve your methods!
We also work to build strong teams. Sports, trekking, team outings are a part of understanding your teammates better and encouraging them to “support” peers whenever required. Convinced?
Do check-out the great wall — hand-painted by our creative geniuses!
And yep, we’re all for treks and sports!
2. Our workplace is FUN
Seriously!
From quirky wall arts, bean bags, foosball, table tennis court to unlimited coffee — anything to cheer you up!
Take a look, what these techies just did.
3. And we take work very SERIOUSLY
You can have all the fun, but no negligence for work. But, there’s a bonus – you can lean and be mean while working!
4. We CELEBRATE everything!
From birthdays, festivals to product launch and success, we never miss an opportunity to celebrate.
Every month’s last Friday calls for “party for no reason” where we have activities, games, food, and more importantly — recognition for the star performers of the month!

Smart Manufacturing starts with real-time visibility.
Manufacturing companies today generate data by the second through sensors, machines, ERP systems, and MES platforms. But without real-time insights, even the most advanced production lines are essentially flying blind.
Manufacturers are implementing real-time dashboards that serve as control towers for their daily operations, enabling them to shift from reactive to proactive decision-making. These tools are essential to the evolution of Smart Manufacturing, where connected systems, automation, and intelligent analytics come together to drive measurable impact.
Data is available, but what’s missing is timely action.
For many plant leaders and COOs, one challenge persists: operational data is dispersed throughout systems, delayed, or hidden in spreadsheets. And this delay turns into a liability.
Real-time dashboards help uncover critical answers:
What caused downtime during last night’s shift?
Was there a delay in maintenance response?
Did a specific inventory threshold trigger a quality issue?
By converting raw inputs into real-time manufacturing analytics, dashboards make operational intelligence accessible to operators, supervisors, and leadership alike, enabling teams to anticipate problems rather than react to them.
1. Why Static Reports Fall Short
Reports often arrive late—after downtime, delays, or defects have occurred.
Disconnected data across ERP, MES, and sensors limits cross-functional insights.
Static formats lack embedded logic for proactive decision support.
2. What Real-Time Dashboards Enable
Line performance and downtime trends Track OEE in real time and identify underperforming lines.
Predictive maintenance alerts Utilize historical and sensor data to identify potential part failures in advance.
Inventory heat maps & reorder thresholds Anticipate stockouts or overstocks based on dynamic reorder points.
Quality metrics linked to operator actions Isolate shifts or procedures correlated with spikes in defects or rework.
These insights allow production teams to drive day-to-day operations in line with Smart Manufacturing principles.
3. Dashboards That Drive Action
Role-based dashboards Dashboards can be configured for machine operators, shift supervisors, and plant managers, each with a tailored view of KPIs.
Embedded alerts and nudges Real-time prompts, like “Line 4 below efficiency threshold for 15+ minutes,” reduce response times and minimize disruptions.
Cross-functional drill-downs Teams can identify root causes more quickly because users can move from plant-wide overviews to detailed machine-level data in seconds.
4. What Powers These Dashboards
Data lakehouse integration Unified access to ERP, MES, IoT sensor, and QA systems—ensuring reliable and timely manufacturing analytics.
ETL pipelines Real-time data ingestion from high-frequency sources with minimal latency.
Visualization tools Custom builds using Power BI, or customized solutions designed for frontline usability and operational impact.
Smart Manufacturing in Action: Reducing Market Response Time from 48 Hours to 30 Minutes
Mantra Labs partnered with a North American die-casting manufacturer to unify its operational data into a real-time dashboard. Fragmented data, manual reporting, delayed pricing decisions, and inconsistent data quality hindered operational efficiency and strategic decision-making.
Tech Enablement:
Centralized Data Hub with real-time access to critical business insights.
Automated report generation with data ingestion and processing.
Accurate price modeling with real-time visibility into metal price trends, cost impacts, and customer-specific pricing scenarios.
Proactive market analysis with intuitive Power BI dashboards and reports.
Business Outcomes:
Faster response to machine alerts
Quality incidents traced to specific operator workflows
4X faster access to insights led to improved inventory optimization.
As this case shows, real-time dashboards are not just operational tools—they’re strategic enablers.
