THE PROBLEM

MANUFACTURING DOESN’T FAIL AT PLANNING, IT FAILS AT EXECUTION.

Reality on the shop floor disrupts production plans: Machines break down, Setups run long, Materials arrive late, Tribal knowledge overrides system logic, This disconnect is known as the execution gap, and it’s killing our productivity.

Bring Intelligence to
Every Step of Execution

Built into the MachineMetrics Platform, Max AI powers our real-time MES to unify data from your machines, ERP, and tribal knowledge. Max guides your team through daily execution - augmenting and automating production tasks so you can focus on what you do best: making stuff.

Your CI Team that Never Sleeps.

Powered by Lean/Six Sigma methodologies (Pareto, 5 Whys, SMED, SPC) to deliver actionable recommendations 24/7.

manufacturers love max

MachineMetrics has always been the flashlight, but someone had to know where to point it. With Max AI, I can ask much broader questions. Across all of our machines, how often are we meeting the cycle time standard versus falling short? No human has the bandwidth to analyze that much data.

We use Max AI to keep production numbers from shift to shift. It found which shift was having the most trouble running production. We were short-staffed, so we're training someone onto that shift.
