Intelligent MES for Automated Machining: What Works and What Does Not

Most manufacturers running automated machining environments already know they have a visibility problem. Their ERP says one thing. The floor is doing another. The gap between those two realities shows up in missed schedules, inaccurate labor records, and coordination breakdowns that supervisors spend their shifts chasing.

Legacy MES systems were not built for this environment. They are people-centric, require manual input, and fall apart entirely on automated and palletized machines where tracking is not a human-scale task.

That changes now.

In this webinar, MachineMetrics CPO Rutherford Wilson and Product Manager Josh Fish break down exactly where the execution gap lives in automated machining operations and walk you through the new technology that allows you to monitor and execute production in these environments with a level of accuracy the industry has never had before. From Auto Job Match, which automatically tracks jobs on every machine configuration including palletized, to Shift Handover and First Article Inspection workflows that eliminate the coordination friction between operators and shifts, this is the most significant MES functionality MachineMetrics has shipped, and it was built specifically for the environments that every other system gets wrong.

Join us for a practical walkthrough of where automated machining operations lose time and margin every day, and what closing those gaps looks like in practice.
