The report said 75%. The floor said something else.
MACH is real-time production monitoring and scheduling for manufacturers. It captures machine state and downtime as they happen, connected to a schedule that updates when the floor does.
The customer called to ask where their order was. You didn't have a good answer.
With MACHYou were alerted that order was pacing behind three hours ago and split it across two lines to keep the commitment. You tell the customer they'll have it today.
The data exists. It just never makes it to you in a form you can act on.
Two-minute interruptions nobody logs.
Swapping a skid, clearing a jam. They never make it into a report. Individually they're noise. Collectively they're hours of lost production every week that no summary captures.
Machines running below rated speed, undetected.
The machine is running. The reports show full utilization. But it's producing at 72% of rated speed and nobody's dashboard can see the difference.
PLC data tells you what, not why.
The machine stopped. The log says "unplanned downtime." The operator standing next to it knows exactly why, but nobody asked.
Reporting on yesterday while today slips.
Yesterday's production report lands on your desk this morning. By then, today's version of the same problem is already three hours old.
None of these show up as a line item. All of them show up in the P&L.
The number most operations have never run.
Most operations have never run this number against their own floor. Here it is: 326 hours of unplanned downtime per year. That's more than a full day's production every month.
Add the CapEx decisions built on utilization numbers nobody could verify, and the overtime from schedules that were always wrong.
Hundreds of small losses, absorbed as normal, every week. They add up to a number nobody's tracking. $253M is the large-manufacturer benchmark. Your operation is smaller. The losses are the same ones.
A schedule that adapts to your floor. Not the other way around.
Build your production schedule on a visual timeline. Drag jobs onto machines, or let the auto-scheduler place them in one click. When a machine goes down mid-shift, the schedule shows the impact immediately. Reassign manually or let it rebalance.
See all scheduling features →Planned in the office. Executed at the machine.
Every operator sees their queue on a tablet at the work center. They start jobs, log production, record rejects, and classify downtime as it happens. Every second of the day is categorized: run time, idle time, downtime, changeover, break. By end of shift, you have the numbers across every work center, every order, every plant.
See the operator kiosk →Every machine. Every state. Right now.
Every machine on the shop floor, live. Running, down, in changeover, not in use. Supervisors see which orders are on pace and which are falling behind. When a breakdown happens, it shows up immediately with the reason the operator logged. Schedule progress updates throughout the day so everyone knows where the shift stands.
See all monitoring features →The numbers are already there. You just look.
Monitor and Schedule capture every second of the day as it happens. Define the KPIs that matter to your operation: OEE, utilization rate, tons per hour, scrap rate by alloy, changeover time by operator. Build dashboards and report on data that was never assembled by hand. The data flows in. You decide what to measure.
See analytics features →Before it was a product, it was a custom enterprise engagement.
MACH started as a custom software engagement with a $5B steel manufacturer across 100+ facilities. The numbers below came from that work. MACH is the productized version of what we learned building that custom solution.
The difference was floor visibility and analytics, not capex. (Kinetech case study, 2024)

Who is MACH for?
Any manufacturer that runs equipment on a floor. The demo videos show steel fabrication because that is where we built our first dataset, but MACH reads machine state and production data the same way across chemical, food processing, packaging, plastics, and more. Because you define your own metrics, they fit how your operation actually runs.
How long until we see value?
A 90-day proof of concept on five work centers. The MACH software is free during the proof window. You pay only for setup services and customer-owned hardware. The 90-day window is designed to be long enough to see a measurable OEE shift. See POC details →
What does it cost?
Flat per-work-center pricing. Schedule $150/wc/mo, Monitor $270/wc/mo, Complete (both) $357/wc/mo. Annual, unlimited users. Same rate whether you have 5 work centers or 100. See full pricing →
Do we need an IT project to deploy this?
No. MACH runs on Kinetech-managed Azure with Azure AD SSO. No on-prem servers, no internal DBA, no IT lift. Your team installs sensors on the floor; we handle cloud, integrations, upgrades. See how it works →
How is this different from an MES?
MES is a 12 to 18 month, $450K-average implementation that tries to replace your ERP's manufacturing module. MACH installs in days to weeks alongside what you already run. It captures floor reality and surfaces it. MACH sits alongside your MES and serves a different purpose. See the full comparison →
