2024 Year in Review: Driving the Future of Production Monitoring

What a year it has been! In 2024 we continued to push the boundaries of what’s possible in production monitoring and operational excellence - introducing cutting-edge capabilities, celebrating remarkable customer achievements, and saying hello to the industry at IMTS 2024.

Here’s a look back at what happened this year.

Launching Revolutionary New Capabilities

2024 saw the launch of several powerful features aimed at enhancing operational efficiency and providing deeper insights for manufacturers. The industry has determined that monitoring machines alone is simply not enough. Manufacturers need a comprehensive understanding of their production and operations, and the features we unveiled this year are helping to achieve that.

Production Schedule Intelligence:

Debuting at IMTS, Production Schedule Intelligence ensures real-time alignment between the production schedule and shop floor conditions. Manufacturers can now adjust and optimize based on up-to-the-minute job completion estimates and receive alerts for schedule deviations.

ERP Integrations

Seamlessly connect shop floor data with ERP systems for a bi-directional flow of information. This integration eliminates silos and empowers data-driven decision-making across the organization. Many of our customers made the decision to integrate with ERP in 2024, with many more planned for 2025. 

Production Order Management

Simplify labor ticket submissions and track production orders and part operations effortlessly, ensuring transparency and streamlined workflows.

Production Analytics

Go beyond machine-level insights to analyze production workflows, from completed jobs to in-progress work. Dive deep into part operations for actionable insights.

Introducing Production Intelligence at IMTS

This year, IMTS served as the stage for introducing production intelligence to the world. We showcased how MachineMetrics is enabling manufacturers to drive better decision-making and action with real-time production data.
