    Now Introducing: MachineMetrics/Epicor ERP Integration!

     You asked and we delivered. MachineMetrics manufacturing analytics platform now provides a seamless integration with Epicor ERP!

    This latest capability allows users to update production schedules and part counts more quickly and more accurately while automatically keeping jobs up to date for reporting within MachineMetrics.

    As you can see in the video above, when operators start production or setup activities within the Epicor MES system, the job information is sent into the MachineMetrics platform where it is displayed within the MachineMetrics tablet interface and on dashboards. When the operator ends the activity in the MES, MachineMetrics automatically fills in the parts produced as well as counts for any scrap or non-conforming pieces. Pretty cool right?

    Here's the best part: you can use this integration to autogenerate production reports that bring actionable visibility to your data, allowing you to compare previous job runs, track downtime reasons, and identify areas of waste. With the MachineMetrics' Epicor integration, we're not only making it easy for EpicorERP users to get more accurate, data with less work, but also giving them the tools necessary to help identify production bottlenecks, measure process improvements, and drive manufacturing efficiency. But don't just take my word for it, reach out to us today to learn more!

    For manufacturers operating multiple plants, getting real-time, apples-to-apples visibility is a major challenge. Each site often runs different systems, measures performance with different KPIs, or reports data inconsistently (and usually in a manual fashion). This leaves operations leaders, VPs, and plant managers spending too much time piecing together spreadsheets, comparing outdated reports, and reacting to problems only after...

    Legacy MES systems and basic monitoring tools are often rigid and slow to adapt. While they claim to offer broad functionality, they’re rarely configured to reflect the nuances of your operations - and trying to force-fit unique workflows into generic systems only creates friction. Every manufacturer is different: machines, processes, KPIs, team structures, and tribal knowledge all vary. Your systems should support that, not fight it....

    There’s no shortage of data on the modern shop floor. The problem is getting the right information to the right people - with the right context to make a difference. Supervisors walk the floor to check on machines. Operators rely on paperwork to see what job is next. Production planners and schedulers constantly follow up to understand where jobs stand and what’s holding them up. And even with ERP systems and machine monitoring in...

    For most manufacturers, labor tracking still feels like a disconnected process. Time clocks sit in one system, job data lives in another, and payroll has to piece it all together later.

    You ran the kaizen event. You saw the improvement. But two months later… is anything actually different? It’s a challenge every CI leader faces. Gains made during Lean or Six Sigma initiatives often fade once the post-it notes are cleared and attention shifts to the next fire. And without a way to monitor what’s really happening on the floor, it’s hard to tell whether your process improvements are creating a short term performance bump...

    Manufacturing schedules look great on paper—until they meet the real world. Every day, jobs run late. Machines sit idle. Priorities shift. And despite everyone’s best efforts, it’s hard to answer one deceptively simple question: Are we on schedule? Most manufacturers don’t have a clear way to answer that. ERP systems show when work orders are supposed to start and finish—but not whether they actually did. Supervisors might track delays...

    Even the most capable ERP system can only tell you what was planned. It can’t tell you what’s actually happening on the floor, right now. For most discrete manufacturers, job tracking still relies on end-of-shift paperwork, late or missing labor tickets, and verbal updates passed between operators and supervisors. The result? Leaders make decisions based on stale data, operators work with incomplete information, and production risks...

    Executive Snapshot Tariff policy has shifted sharply in the past 18 months, squeezing margins for U.S. discrete-manufacturing plants.

Manufacturing executives have already begun taking action, flexing their supply chain muscles to identify new sources of material, bring manufacturing...

    Bridging the Gap Between Shop Floor and ERP
    Despite significant investments in ERP systems, many manufacturers still struggle to manage their operations effectively. The root of the problem? A lack of accurate, real-time data from the production floor. ERP systems are powerful tools - they help manufacturers plan resources, manage inventory, and fulfill orders. But their effectiveness hinges on the quality and timeliness of the data they receive. When that data is delayed,...
