Headquartered in Northampton, Massachusetts, MachineMetrics developed the first AI-driven predictive analytics platform for the mechanical engineering sector. In 2018, the company won the IoT Breakthrough Award in the "Smart Manufacturing Solution" category. As out-of-the-box applications, its Industry 4.0-capable solutions can be pressed into service straight away, providing edge connectivity, real-time visibility, in-depth production analyses and AI-based predictive maintenance suggestions to help boost the productivity and efficiency of a machine park.

By exhibiting at HANNOVER MESSE 2019, the developers from MachineMetrics now aim to show how - by simplifying the Industrial IoT- they can help companies using their solution to make better decisions on the basis of digitized machine data. Having recently raised 11.3 million US dollars in Series A financing, the company is currently planning to expand its data science and product development teams. It is also working to accelerate global sales, and, as a trade fair with a global reach, HANNOVER MESSE offers the ideal springboard for exactly that. "Now is the internet moment for manufacturing," says William Bither, CEO and co-founder of MachineMetrics. "Because we're pulling data from thousands of machines, we're able to gain a unique understanding of their problems. These insights are delivered back to our customers so they can take action to gain a competitive edge."
