EXECUTE

MES Software for Modern Manufacturing

EVERY JOB.
EVERY SHIFT.

Keep work orders, job tracking, and schedules synchronized with shop floor reality so your team can make the dynamic adjustments they need, when they need, to win the shift, not after it's too late.

YOUR ERP PLANS. IT DOESN’T EXECUTE.

Your ERP knows what's due, what it should cost, and how long it should take. It doesn't know the setup ran two hours long or that the cycle time it quotes has been wrong for years.

LEGACY MES WAS BUILT FOR HANDS, NOT MACHINES.

Traditional MES was designed for manual processes only: people executing steps, keying in data. One size fits nobody, and the integration project outlives the technology it was built on.

THE SNOWFLAKE MYTH IS EXPENSIVE

You've been told your operation is too unique for "standard" software, so you should build it yourself. This belief is entrenched in a legacy mindset and the capabilities of legacy technology. Not what's possible today.
AUTOMATED SCHEDULING

SAY GOODBYE TO EXCEL AND WHITEBOARDS.

A static schedule is obsolete the moment a machine goes down. MaximaOS builds the schedule on live machine data and real cycle times, then reflows it as conditions change — so priorities, capacity, and promised dates reflect the floor as it is, not as it was planned on Monday.

dispatchschedule-1280-hq

A schedule that survives contact with the floor.

Sequence work against real machine availability and demonstrated cycle times, see predicted completion against your OTD target, and get an alert while there's still time to intervene. When a machine drops, you know which jobs are exposed and where the open capacity is.

trending-up-down
DYNAMIC
Continuously reassesses and adjusts the schedule against real operational data, absorbing downtime, overruns, and rush orders instead of pretending they didn't happen.
lightbulb (3)
PREDICTIVE
Know when a job will actually finish, not when it was supposed to. Predicted completion dates update in real time, with alerts when a job starts trending late.
gauge
CAPACITY-AWARE
See which machines are oversubscribed and which are open, so shifting work is a decision you make with numbers instead of a conversation you have on the floor.
JOB TRACKING & WORK ORDER MANAGEMENT

THE JOB TRACKS ITSELF.

Two ways job data goes wrong. A person keys it in hours later, from memory, at the end of a shift. Or nobody keys it in at all and someone backflushes the whole night against elapsed time. Either way the record is a reconstruction, and every cost, standard, and capacity figure downstream inherits it.

job tracking

Auto Production Monitoring: the program says what’s running.

Work orders come in from your ERP, automated program matching reads the program off the control, matches the part number and operation against your ERP, and opens the labor ticket itself. Validated labor back to your system of record. The same way at every plant, without an operator stopping production to enter it.

list-ordered (1)
COUNT FROM THE SPINDLE
Watch part counts and job progress climb on the operator's screen as parts come off the machine. Not typed in, not estimated, not walked to and written down.

TRACK LIGHTS-OUT
Open the morning report on a pallet pool that cycled eight programs overnight and find eight separate records, each with its own cycle time, instead of one blended total to backflush.
hard-hat (3)
SUBMIT LABOR IN A TAP
Clock-in and clock-out for direct and indirect labor on the same screen the job runs on, reconciled against open tickets and written back to your ERP with actual run time.
FRONTLINE WORKER EXECUTION

ONE SCREEN INSTEAD OF SIX SYSTEMS.

Your best operator's knowledge isn't in your MES. It's in their head, in a black book, and on a sticky note on the machine. Not anymore. With MaximaOS's ShopPulse interface, everything an operator needs is on one screen: what to run next, how they're pacing, the current document, and one-tap help. When you deliver value to your operators, they deliver on time for your business.

clockin-1280-hq

Guidance, not just another transaction screen.

With ShopPulse, operators see the current job, what's coming next, and the work instructions for it — delivered from your existing document repository, not retyped into a new system. Configurable by role and machine, it's all about standardizing processes where is needed, while automating everything else in between.

GUIDED IN THE MOMENT
Log into a job and get what matters for that job: setup steps, the thing that went wrong last run, the check that gets missed. A new hire runs the job the way your best operator would.
octagon-alert
HELP WITHOUT THE WALK
An operator flags an issue and the right person — maintenance, quality, the shop foreman — is routed to that machine. No one walks the floor looking for anybody.
message-circle-question-mark
HANDOVER THAT HOLDS
Operators talk into the system instead of writing in a notebook. Notes are cleaned up, attached to the job they belong to, and waiting on the next operator's startup screen.
TOOL LIFE MANAGEMENT

TOOL CHANGES ON SIGNAL. NOT ON GUESSWORK.

Tools get changed early and thrown away with life left in them, or changed late and take a part, sometimes a spindle, with them. Most teams track consumables on a clipboard or in an operator's memory. MaximaOS reads tool life data from the control itself and provides a single place to manage this data, so your tool changes happen when the tool says so.

tool life

From the machine’s own signals, not a spreadsheet.

Remaining tool life appears alongside the current job, pulled from the data your controls already expose and standardized across the floor regardless of brand or age. Operators see which tool needs attention and on which machine, so a tool change becomes a planned stop instead of a discovery — and a tool that consistently fails mid-run becomes a number rather than a rumor.

octagon-alert
CAPTURE TOOL DATA
Actual tool life data read from the machine in real time, not a count someone maintains by hand. Standardized across every machine on the floor.
chart-spline
ANALYZE PERFORMANCE
Use live and historical data to identify tools that are being changed either too late or prematurely, so you can make adjustments to your presets on your machines.
list-ordered (1)
OPERATOR GUIDANCE
Notify your operators which tool to change next and on which machine, so the walk becomes a route instead of a search or an emergency.
QUALITY IN THE FLOW

FIND IT AT THE MACHINE. NOT AT FINAL INSPECTION.

Your ERP only knows what someone typed in when they closed the labor activity. If a thousand good parts get reported and five hundred were scrapped, the system believes the operator. Quality that lives in a separate workflow, entered after the fact, is quality you find out about too late to do anything about.

quality

Capture it where it happens, while the part is still in the machine.

Reject counts and reason codes are captured at the machine, tied to the job, program, machine, and operator that produced them. First-article inspection runs as a live workflow between the operator and quality, so production starts when the part is approved instead of when someone finally finds an inspector.

trash-2
SCRAP AT THE SOURCE
Rejects logged at the machine with predefined reason codes, in seconds, while the operator still knows why. Off-shift scrap stops being invisible.
shield-check
FIRST ARTICLE WITHOUT THE WAIT
The inspection request routes to quality, every step is visible to both sides, and the clock on a waiting machine stops being someone's guess.
list-start
TRACEABLE
Every part connected to the machine, program, operator, and time window that made it — so a quality question has an answer instead of a theory.
See It In Action

When multiple jobs run across automated machines, manual tracking falls apart. MaximaOS captures what ran, when it ran, and what it actually took without relying on an operator to keep up. TRACK PRODUCTION AT THE SPEED IT HAPPENS.
