Multi-plant analytics: one truth across plants, with KPIs that are truly comparable

If every plant calculates OEE differently, every comparison becomes a debate. SYMESTIC's multi-plant analytics uses the same data model in all plants. That makes KPIs comparable 1:1, and new plants are added without a consulting project.

Three plants, three Excel files, three definitions of OEE

Plant comparisons rarely fail for lack of will, but because of the data: different systems, different master data, different formulas. By the time the numbers are harmonized, the quarter is over.

Replace a legacy MES

Anyone who already has a MES that has grown plant by plant can replace it step by step: plant by plant onto the same data model, with the ERP remaining the leading system. Carcoustics replaced an existing MES this way in six months.

Frequently asked questions

Why are KPIs often not comparable between plants?

Because every plant has its own systems, master data and calculation rules. They only become comparable when all plants use the same data model.

Who connects new plants?

Your own team. SYMESTIC trains your key users; further machines, lines and plants are added without a consulting project per site.

Where is the data stored for plants in several countries?

On Microsoft Azure in the EU, German regions on request, with strict data separation per customer.
