MaximaOS: The Manufacturing Operating System

Run Smarter.
Adapt Faster.
Execute Better.

The AI-powered operating system for discrete manufacturing. One model of your operation, built from your machines and the systems you already run — so the plan, the floor, and the record finally tell the same story.

Your ERP Plans It. 
Your Machines Execute. THE GAP BETWEEN IS COSTING YOU.

Today’s manufacturing environments run in a state of reactivity. Every plant starts the day with a plan. By mid-morning, a machine is down, a setup ran long, and the plan no longer matches reality. That distance is the execution gap: dozens of gaps, opening at every stage of production, every shift that burns machine time, margin, and delivery promises. Unfortunately, the systems sold to close them were built for a different factory, not yours.

THREE REASONS OTHER MES SYSTEMS DON'T CLOSE THEM.

cog (2)

BUILT FOR MANUAL PROCESS. NOT FOR AUTOMATION.

Legacy MES was designed around operators keying in data, not the real-time automation that actually runs your floor. It works when operators comply, and compliance is the failure mode.

IT RECORDS WHAT HAPPENED. IT DOESN'T FIX IT.

Traditional MES captures information — but for what, and when? You end up watching the highlights instead of the live broadcast, which leaves you behind the game.

EIGHTEEN MONTHS TO GO LIVE. BEHIND ON DAY ONE.

By the time it deploys, you're maintaining a system designed years earlier. And every "build required" along the way was a line item in someone's budget and a date on someone's project plan.

Close the gap

A modern operating system that unites fragmented factory data, automates manufacturing execution, and powers AI-driven workflows that identify and close execution gaps in real time. Out of the box where it should be. Configurable where it counts.
CONNECT

EVERY MACHINE.
EVERY SYSTEM.

Connect directly to machines, operators, and ERP systems, capturing what is actually happening on the floor the moment it happens. Automated production monitoring matches machine data with work orders, detects downtime, slow cycles, and quality drift without manual data entry.

MACHINES

Capture and standardize data across any make and model of equipment with plug and play machine connectivity, from modern machines to legacy assets, and manual tools.
Frame 1000005960

SYSTEMS

Prebuilt, bidirectional ERP connectors tie work orders and routings with production information, verified and updated to the system of record in minutes rather than overnight batches.
Frame 1000005961

KNOWLEDGE

Upload and store siloed SOPs, processes, instructions, and machine manuals into a single source of knowledge powered by AI.
EXECUTE

EVERY JOB.
EVERY SHIFT.

Manufacturing execution built for automated machining. Work orders, schedules, labor, tooling, and quality run on live machine data, so priorities stay synchronized with floor reality. At the machine, it's ShopPulse — the operator interface for MaximaOS, running on a tablet or shared kiosk and handling the whole shift from clock-in to handover.

DYNAMIC SCHEDULING

Live machine performance drives the schedule. When a machine goes down, the plan reflows at the moment it matters rather than at end of shift.
Frame 1000005964

WORK ORDER & JOB TRACKING

The program identifies the job, the labor ticket opens itself, and the operator confirms. Counts come from the spindle, including on pallet pools running unattended.
Frame 1000005962

SHOPPULSE

The operator interface. One screen for the whole shift, from what's next and live job pacing to automated document delivery at job start and one-tap help. All configured per work area and learned in an hour.
OPTIMIZE

EVERY SECOND.
EVERY DOLLAR.

Production analytics that turn every shift into measurable insight, identifying production bottlenecks, highlighting inefficiencies, and recommending actionable optimizations to your teams.

OEE & PRODUCTION ANALYTICS

Availability, performance, and quality derived from machine data against real schedules, traceable to the shift, job, and event behind every number.
Frame 1000005983

DOWNTIME ANALYSIS

Every stoppage captured and categorized from machine signals, then ranked by what it costs so the improvement you fund is the one with the biggest number behind it.
Frame 1000005982

ENTERPRISE VISIBILITY

Every plant measured identically, aggregated into one view and compared side by side, with drill-down from the footprint to a single machine.
BUILD

EVERY WORKFLOW.
EVERY APP.

Deliver production-grade applications and company-specific workflows that deploy in days, not the months a traditional MES customization requires. Carbide is the developer platform for MaximaOS — describe what you need, build it against manufacturing-aware components, and deploy it inside the platform. No technical debt, and no bending your operation to fit the software.

CARBIDE

The developer platform. Bring your own AI coding tool, connect through a secure remote endpoint, and build against 30+ components written for manufacturing — deployed inside MaximaOS on the same data and permissions as everything else.
Frame 1000005985

TEMPLATES

Prebuilt applications cover the workflows that recur across almost every discrete manufacturer: tool life, digital work instructions, dispatch, a supervisor inbox, and inspection capture. Deploy as is , or modify in Carbide so the template is a starting point rather than a ceiling.

APIs & MCP

A platform that holds your production data hostage isn't a foundation; it's another silo. Everything MaximaOS collects is accessible via the BI tool your finance team already lives in, the systems you've had for a decade, and the AI agents your team is starting to build.

intelligence in Every Step of Execution

Beneath MaximaOS runs MaxAI, drawing on live machine data, ERP context, and your own documented knowledge in a single model. Ask a question in plain language and get the answer with the chart already built. Get setup guidance at the machine, shift summaries nobody typed, and the anomaly flagged before it becomes scrap. Grounded in real machine signals, not generic AI.

Find the cost. 

Fix the cause.
bank the savings.

Stop searching for savings in the wrong places. Every loss on the floor has a number attached, and most of them are larger than the line items being cut. These are the ones manufacturers find first.
1 Capex Cost reduction

BUY LESS IRON

See real machine capacity before you spec the next purchase. Often the floor isn’t full, it’s just unmeasured.
2 ON-TIME DELIVERY

EXPEDITE LESS FREIGHT

At-risk jobs flag while there's still time to reschedule, so the fix is level-loading rather than an air freight bill and an apology.
3 LABOR & OVERTIME

Optimize labor costs

Overbooked weeks surface six weeks out instead of on arrival, when the response is still a scheduling decision.
4 COPQ • SCRAP

SCRAP FEWER PARTS

Scrap logged with cause codes at the machine in real time to catch problems early. AI catches tool wear before it makes rejects.
5 CONSUMABLES

CHANGE FEWER TOOLS EARLY

Tool life read from the control instead of guessed, so consumables get used to the life you already paid for.
6 OUTSOURCING & CPP

QUOTE FEWER LOSSES

Standards that drifted years ago get ranked by dollar impact and corrected, before the next job is priced off them.
7 WIP INVENTORY

CARRY LESS WIP

Live job status and synchronized priorities keep work moving through the routing instead of pooling between operations.
8 MAINTENANCE

fIX IT BEFORE FAILURE

Condition-based alerts trigger CMMS work orders ahead of breakdown. Maintenance becomes a plan, not a fire drill.

TESTIMONIALS

THEY FOUND OUT WHAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW.

Manufacturers who found out what their machines were actually doing recovered the capacity that was already there and paid for the rollout out of the first plant.

OFF BY HALF.

"You think your utilization without the data is somewhere around 60-65%, but the data indicates that it is closer to30-35%."

- Bill Berrien, Chief Executive Officer

ALMOST ANOTHER SHIFT, AT NO ADDED COST.

"After implementing MachineMetrics, we saw between a 10-15% improvement in overall uptime and, on top of that, a 15-20% efficiency gain. Since we run four shifts, that's the equivalent of almost another shift for free."

- Michael Wisnefsky, Engineering Manager

 

ONE PILOT PAID FOR ALL OF IT.

"With the ROI of a three-month pilot at one facility, we were able to pay for the deployment of MachineMetrics across the entire company."

- Matt Townsend, Director of Operational Excellence
