The efficient use of people and production equipment is vital to manufacturing success.
With Mestec’s Manufacturing Smart Box system, manufacturers have unprecedented real-time,
minute-by-minute insight into non-value added activity, downtime, and resource utilisation.
The result? Wastes and inefficiencies can be tracked to their root causes ... and
eliminated. Powerfully, productively, and permanently. As a result, it’s possible
to achieve real increases in capacity ... by unlocking the ‘hidden factory’ that
is disguised by waste, losses, inefficiencies and under-utilisation.
With the Mestec Manufacturing Smart Box ... a touch-screen and barcode based system
that captures real-time factory floor data ... you can call-up on-screen reports
on an extensive array of efficiency-related metrics, and drill down to investigate
problems.
Plug-compatible with ERP systems and Windows networks, the Mestec Manufacturing
Smart Box system delivers reports, metrics and drill-down insights direct to your
office, on your own desktop computer. See what’s happening on the factory floor
... right now ... from the comfort of your desk.
- Downtime vs. Uptime
- Labour Effectiveness
- Non value-added activity
- Machine utilisation
- Actual hours vs. Standard hours
- Planned vs. Actual setup times
- Overall Equipment Effectiveness
(OEE)
- Productive hours vs. unproductive
hours
Better still, Mestec’s rapid low-cost deployment approach means that resource utilisation
can be boosted in days or weeks ... not months. Read about Mestec’s ‘stepwise’ rapid
deployment here.

“The identification of non-productive work and unproductive time is very important
to us, and now, we know exactly where we’re losing time ... and can tell if the root
cause is supplier failure, or issues within our own manufacturing organisation,
such as engineering changes.”
Paul Arnold, operations director, Thales Training & Simulation
