Analytics for Advanced Manufacturing
Know your true cost. Keep machines available.
Advanced manufacturers run on precision. PowerMetrics helps you see true unit economics, machine health, and production flow in one trusted, role-based view. Connect MES, PLM, ERP, quality, and machine telemetry. Standardize definitions. Act faster with live, certified metrics your teams can agree on.
Complex operations generate more data than most teams can act on. Designs move from CAD or PLM into MES, through print farms or robotic cells, then into post-processing and inspection. Costs shift with powder reuse, scrap, energy draw, tool wear, and cycle time. Machine logs fill up while downtime gets captured after the fact. The result is late surprises, disputed numbers, and thin margins.
PowerMetrics gives you a metric-centric foundation for Advanced Manufacturing. Unify MES, ERP, quality systems, machine controllers, and supplier data without rebuilding your stack. Define yield, waste, and availability once, then reuse those definitions everywhere. Builds, batches, parts, and cells roll up cleanly to work orders, customers, and programs. You get real-time visibility, trusted unit economics, and machine health signals in views built for engineers, ops, finance, and leadership.

Real-time visibility across the digital thread
Bring production signals into a single source of truth so problems surface early and fixes stick.
Live production health: Track build success rate, WIP by stage, first-pass yield, and scrap by machine, material, and part.
Utilization you can defend: See run time, idle time, and changeovers by cell or print farm, with context from schedules and work orders.
Root-cause ready: Blend quality results with machine parameters and environment data to spot patterns before they become delays.
Refresh on your cadence: From every minute to daily, based on the signal and cost profile.
Part-level unit economics you can trust
Move quoting and pricing off estimates. Tie costs directly to the data that creates them.
Consistent cost models: Define material waste, reuse rates, post-processing, and energy once, then apply across builds and parts.
Actuals vs plan: Compare estimated vs actual cost per printed part and margin by customer, application, or program.
Exception focus: Flag builds where scrap, cycle time, or rework push margins below target.
Audit-ready detail: Drill from a margin trend to the exact batch, machine, and shift that drove the variance.
Machine health signals and downtime prevention
Use the telemetry you already collect. Turn it into early warnings and better scheduling.
Condition indicators: Track vibrations, temperatures, laser power, and pressure alongside downtime and throughput.
Failure patterns: Correlate alarms and environmental factors with quality escapes and rework.
Maintenance that fits reality: Shift from calendar to condition using alerts and goals tied to key thresholds.
AI-ready handoff: Surface model outputs from existing tools inside role-based dashboards, so action happens on time.
Don't just take our word for it
Recognized as a front runner (Software Advice), a high performer (G2), and a category leader (GetApp) in Analytics and Business Intelligence.
"PowerMetrics gives non-technical business users exactly what they need, without having to worry about the technology underpinnings. A centralized, managed inventory of metrics is an excellent complement to traditional BI tools, making them more powerful and consistent."
