MAK AI is a lightweight MES built specifically for food and beverage production. Instead of a rigid platform you adapt to, it's a customizable framework we shape around your lines, your products, and your terminology — with true real-time data straight from your equipment.

In most plants, yes — MAK AI connects to common automation platforms such as Allen-Bradley and Siemens, and supports open standards like OPC UA. It reads what your equipment already measures, so there's no rip-and-replace. We confirm compatibility for your specific lines during scoping.

Weeks, not months. Every project starts with your process: we walk your lines, configure MAK AI around how your plant actually runs, and roll out in phases so production is never disrupted. You'll have a working system — and a team trained to use it — long before a traditional MES would finish discovery.

Very little. MAK AI can be hosted safely in the cloud and accessed through a browser — no database servers to license or maintain. One small on-site server connects the platform to your automation layer, and we handle that setup.

Yes. MAK AI runs safely in the cloud, fully on-premises, or in a mix of the two. If your policies require production data to stay inside your walls, it can — you get the same system either way, and we'll recommend the right setup for your plant during scoping.

Critical control checks are scheduled, completed, and tracked digitally — by line, shift, and batch — with sensor values captured straight from the PLC where available. Every record is archived and traceable, so audit preparation becomes a report, not a week of binders.

It's designed for the plant floor: dashboards and checks run on desktops, tablets, and phones, and screens are available in your team's languages. We train your operators and supervisors during implementation, and adoption is built in because the system is configured around how they already work.

Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest — whether it's stored safely in the cloud or kept entirely on-premises. Access is controlled by user roles you define, and every change is logged. We're happy to walk your IT team through the architecture in detail.

Every plant is different, so we don't publish one-size-fits-all pricing. After a demo and a short scoping conversation about your lines and goals, you'll get a clear, itemized proposal — no surprises, and no charge for the conversation.
