Unlock the Hidden Factory

With an initial deployment typically taking just a week, and costing from £200 per month, Mestec’s Manufacturing Smart Box system starts delivering returns almost immediately.

Plug-compatible with ERP systems, and comprising easy-to-use touch-screens equipped with barcode readers, Mestec’s Manufacturing Smart Box system aims to provide unparalleled visibility into manufacturing operations.

From aerospace to electronics, and from food manufacturing to precision engineering, Mestec’s Manufacturing Smart Box technology is at work providing manufacturers just like you with crystal clear insights into the detail underpinning their factory-floor operations.

One-Click Visibility

At a click of a mouse, you can unlock the data to launch highly-targeted manufacturing improvements, thanks to penetrating insights into:

  • Downtime vs. Uptime
  • Causes of rework
  • Labour effectiveness
  • Machine utilisation
  • Material wastage
  • Actual hours vs. Standard hours
  • Inventory management
  • Planned vs. Actual setup times
  • Quality & yields
  • WIP progress /on-target delivery
  • Reject levels
  • Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)

Better still, Mestec’s ‘Stepwise’ implementation methodology delivers these improvements at a measured and affordable pace, with investments being funded by improvements already delivered and banked.

With a typical payback of two months to one year, Mestec’s Manufacturing Smart Box systems are affordably-priced, and available on either a monthly subscription, or through one-time perpetual licences.

“The efficiency improvements have increased manufacturing capacity, reduced wastage, and reduced the cash tied up in stock. Mestec's carefully‑phased implementation approach contrasted sharply with the 'big bang' resource‑intensive implementations associated with other systems.”
