MES for mechanical manufacturing

Machining plants and mechanical production sites operate several machines, multiple series and critical changeover times. A MES platform tracks performance machine by machine and structures downtime reasons to guide operational actions.

Challenges

Industry challenges

  • Measure machine performance continuously, machine by machine.
  • Monitor series changeovers and their impact on availability.
  • Capture downtime reasons (breakdowns, settings, tool waits) at the source.
  • Compare OEE across machines and part families.
  • Provide a consolidated production view to plant management.

Shop floor problems

What slows production execution today

  • Machine performance hard to measure without continuous data collection.
  • Series changeovers poorly tracked and underestimated in indicators.
  • Downtime reasons recorded with inconsistent labels across operators.
  • Production visibility limited to end-of-shift results.
  • No reliable comparison between similar machines.

What IBRIXIO delivers

How IBRIXIO responds

  • OEE and availability computed per machine, continuously.
  • Automatic downtime detection and standardized reason capture.
  • Series changeover tracking and impact analysis on availability.
  • Real-time production monitoring with produced quantities per machine.
  • Operational machine history without claiming a full CMMS.

Use case

On the shop floor

A machining plant compares OEE across five similar machines and identifies a recurring loss on one of them. Analysis shows changeover times are systematically longer. Operations revises the changeover procedure and closes the gap.
