Mestric

What Is Mestric?

Mestric is a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) and smart-factory platform designed to provide manufacturers with a system that turns production floor equipment into a connected smart factory environment. The software gives production teams real-time visibility into machine status, quality parameters, and shop-floor performance, replacing manual records with accurate operational data.

The software also tracks production Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) by shift, product, and time period and provides financial and production-cost reporting to help manufacturers spot cost inefficiencies early. Production planning capabilities within Mestric allow teams to compare actual production with planned output and better understand production capacity and limitations.

What Is Mestric Best For?

The platform is known best for its ‘Production Equipment Monitoring’, which gives manufacturers real-time visibility into the status, efficiency, and downtime of every connected machine, production line, and industrial device. This continuous monitoring helps production managers catch issues quickly and keep the shop floor operating at its full potential.

How Much Does Mestric Cost?

Mestric pricing typically falls between $500 and $2,500/production site/month, according to industry benchmarks for similar manufacturing execution and smart factory solutions.

Following are the additional estimated costs you need to consider before planning:

• MES Setup And Machine Connectivity: $2,000–$15,000 one-time - Covers machine connections and initial setup
• ERP And System Integrations: $500–$3,000/month - Covers ERP and production system integrations
• Advanced Analytics And AI: $300–$1,500/month - Covers advanced analytics and AI-based insights
• Multi-Site Deployment And Customization: $1,000–$5,000/month - Covers multiple sites and custom workflows

Disclaimer: Pricing references are based on publicly available third-party information and industry benchmarks. Actual costs may vary.

How Does Mestric Work?

Here is how you can get started with Mestric after logging into the system:

• Access the main dashboard to view real-time machine status, efficiency, and downtime across the production floor
• View quality and parameter monitoring screens to check produced items against set production standards
• Check production realization data to compare actual output against planned targets by shift or product
• Review machine stop alerts to identify equipment issues as soon as they occur
• Open the OEE dashboard to track current and historical machine efficiency data
• Track work order progress screens to see time and cost status for each production operation
• Generate management KPI reports to review quality, utilization, downtime, and cost data across the facility
• Export visualized production data to support further process planning and decision-making

Who Is Mestric For?

Mestric software is suitable for organizations in industries such as:

• Plastics manufacturing

Mestric Use Cases

Based on our analysis of Mestric's industry cases and current capabilities, we have identified key scenarios where this software is a good fit for plastics, tooling, and discrete manufacturing operations:

1. Injection Molding Facilities Replacing Manual Efficiency Tracking

Plastic injection molding operations often rely on manager estimates to gauge machine utilization, leading to inaccurate figures that can sit well below actual potential. Mestric's real-time monitoring replaces this guesswork with continuous efficiency data pulled directly from the machines. Production teams gain full insight into floor operations at scale, reducing undetected errors and helping close the gap between reported and actual performance.

2. Operations Correcting Inaccurate OEE And Downtime Reporting

Facilities that calculate Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), scrap rates, and downtime from manager reports often find these metrics unreliable for decision-making. Mestric's real-time data collection gives production teams accurate downtime and efficiency figures tied to each individual machine. Mestric's Poclain case study specifically describes this use case and reports a 4.3% OEE increase over three years following implementation.

3. Multi-Department Manufacturers Improving Work Order Visibility

Operations spanning several departments, such as cutting and finishing, often depend on verbal updates and individual memory to track work order status. Mestric's terminal and QR-code-based recording lets employees log the start, interruption, and completion of each operation as it happens. This approach suits manufacturers running several parallel work operations that need a transparent, real-time view of production status across departments.

Is Mestric Right For You?

Looking for a system that turns scattered shop-floor data into one clear source of truth? Mestric is built for plastics, automotive, and industrial manufacturers that need accurate, real-time visibility into machine performance, quality, and costs instead of relying on manager estimates and paper records.

The software connects with existing ERP, CRM, and HRM systems and supports facilities with dozens of connected machines. Trusted by manufacturers including Poclain Hydraulics, Hella, and Volkswagen, Mestric has helped production teams reduce downtime and improve OEE.
