We are excited to announce that Mike Bailey, Sr. Vice President of Sales of Mestek Machinery, and Max Alexander, Sales Development Manager – US of B&R Industrial Automation, will present an insightful session at the upcoming Stratus Innovate 2024. This premier event will take place on September 10, 2024, in Milwaukee, WI, and is specifically tailored for MEP contractors.
Stratus Innovate is a full-day conference dedicated to advancing the skills and knowledge of MEP contractors. The event is packed with sessions, networking opportunities, and exhibits that focus on the latest trends and innovations in the industry.
Title: Measuring Production and Performance in Duct Shops
Time: 4:00 PM
Presenters: Mike Bailey, Sr. Vice President of Sales of Mestek Machinery, and Max Alexander, Sales Development Manager – US of B&R Industrial Automation
In this session, Mike and Max will delve into MestekNet, a new true machine tool intelligence technology. They will demonstrate how contractors can use this technology to monitor performance and output in real-time on Iowa Precision duct lines, Lockformer Spiral Tubeformers, and Lockformer Vulcan Fiber Laser, plasma, and water jet cutting systems, providing valuable insights for tracking productivity.
MestekNet is an integrated ecosystem of production equipment analytics, offering many possibilities for the future of production. MestekNet is entering the market for the first time this year. For shop owners and production managers, MestekNet provides an intuitive dashboard of key performance indicators for the productivity and health of various production assets in the shop.
The data will include important utilization, production, and consumption information to track how well an asset is being utilized, the number of parts being produced, and the number jobs being executed, and how much material is consumed. This data will be stored in a closed and local database, ensuring that this important information does not leave the shop. MestekNet will provide users with the opportunity to enable a secure VPN to track shop performance from their offsite locations, or even their mobile devices.
As MestekNet matures, more features will become available to the shop, such as KPI reports, long-term trending, asset health analysis, and job time anticipation. Mestek Machinery, along with its partner B&R, will continue to work closely with users to ensure that valuable insights create opportunities for efficiency and business intelligence.
