Knowing there was a lack of visibility when collecting and using machine data for continuous improvement, MachineMetrics founders Bill Bither, CEO; Eric Fogg, COO; and Jacob Lauzier, CTO, decided to use their experience in manufacturing to develop a performance-based manufacturing execution system (MES) and analytics platform to fill the void.
“After I sold my software company, I went back to my roots of manufacturing when we co-founded this company,” Bither says. “We started off by surveying manufacturers and realized the common problem among them was there was all this data sitting on their machines with few products out there to help make sense of it in order to make better decisions."
