MachineMetrics is the authority on real-time manufacturing analytics. When we started MachineMetrics, we identified undeniable gaps in current manufacturing processes: a lack of real-time production visibility and a lack of communication between machine operators and their managers. Roughly 50% of US companies admitting to not having a systematic roadmap toward Digital Manufacturing solutions nor automation and over 90% of companies have yet to attempt to integrate solutions to date. Many companies have attempted to develop solutions for this problem but it had yet to be truly solved. We spoke with 100+ manufacturers to gather their feedback on why these solutions did not fit their needs and how it could be designed better.

MachineMetrics was thus created; an IIoT manufacturing analytics and machine monitoring platform to help companies visualize where they stand now and overcome the challenges along the Digital Transformation journey to advance forward from reactivity, to proactivity, and to predictivity. Our fully automated machine monitoring solution provides visualizations of real-time manufacturing production data, instant notifications, as well as historical analytics, allowing factory workers to make faster, smarter, more confident decisions based on real-time data.

We've simplified IoT for the shop floor and are empowering manufacturers to develop their roadmap toward manufacturing excellence with the easiest to use and simplest to integrate software on the market. MachineMetrics is driving manufacturing efficiency by more than 20% on average for our customers and we are proud to be developing the future of manufacturing alongside them.

INS has spent years providing our manufacturing and industrial clients with best-in-class solutions to improve their overall business performance. By recognizing our clients have individual needs we have successfully applied over 3,500 software, hardware and training solutions that were focused on collecting, coordinating and synchronizing plant information throughout the entire enterprise. INS was started solely to supply our customers with scalable factory automation solutions that deliver increased productivity and ROI from the plant floor and throughout the enterprise. Our focus is on providing solutions that collect, distribute, control and provide visualization of information from the plant floor and throughout the enterprise.

Spaceti has developed an all-in-one solution for the real estate and facility management industry, with the aim of enhancing the satisfaction, productivity, and well-being of building occupiers while improving the bottom line for organisations. It addresses efficiency and effectiveness challenges faced by tenants and landlords: lack of reliable data to improve operations and take key decisions; high expenses due to inefficiencies related to poor property management; and inadequate indoor environment to fulfil requirements of smart flexible workspace.

We collect data from machine controls and machine operators for the entire production floor and use this data to monitor machine conditions (faults, status, tool utilization), production (OEE & Machine Utilization), work-order status, quality Tracking and downtime reasons that can be auto classified or indicated by the operator with touch screen tablet interfaces mounted at the machine tool. Real-Time Dashboards are also mounted on the production floor to provide an at-a-glance indication if jobs are performing at or below expectations (against Parts Goal or OEE metrics).

MachineMetrics provides robust and superior reporting features including OEE reports, job reports, downtime and quality pareto reports that can be compared by shift, machine, and when viewing individual job/part reports. Utilization, TEEP and OOE are also measured and visible in historical reports. The real time and historical data collected allows managers to not only track efficiency and quickly identify production bottlenecks that are related to specific machining operations but also helps measure the effect of process improvements.

MachineMetrics' mobile friendly, secure cloud application allows you to access this data from anywhere and requires no servers, automatic updates, and minimal IT expenses. All that's required is that machines are networked and accessible from our gateway device. Our highly adaptable system can be customized to fit any manufacturer's specific production needs.

The solution consists of Z stone shaped sensors, a web-based dashboard, and a companion mobile application. The sensor monitors multiple parameters such as chair occupancy, space utilization of floors, locations of assets, environmental parameters such as CO2, humidity, and TVOC; vacant parking spots etc. The web-based portal processes the above-mentioned data for visualizing the same and exporting it to multiple data files or summarizing into reports. The companion application also guides the user to evacuation points and allows the user to report a fault by attaching pictures.
