MachineMetrics’ Max AI is designed to unify data from machines, ERP and tribal knowledge to deliver an agentic digital workforce for discrete manufacturers.

Max AI’s continuous improvement agent pinpoints production bottlenecks, uncovers setup trends and delivers shift reports with real-time insights while automating routine tasks.

Max AI is an intelligence layer within the MachineMetrics MES platform that enables the agentic execution of key tasks for frontline employees. By combining real-time machine data with operational context, Max AI can answer complex production questions, generate visualizations and reports in seconds and trigger role-specific guidance.

• Operator assistant: Helps operators with setup, prioritization and resolving disruptions

• Planner and supervisor agents: Monitor plan versus reality and adjust operations on the fly

• Max reporter: Streamlines shift handovers with data-backed, automated summaries

• Onboarding agent: Guides new users through implementation, connecting machines and ERP systems faster.

“Manufacturing has hit an inflection point,” says Rutherford Wilson, chief product officer at MachineMetrics. “Data alone isn’t enough anymore. What matters is execution. Max AI is the first system that doesn’t just display problems — it solves them. It’s AI with a job: guiding action, enforcing standards, automating tasks and helping teams hit daily targets.”
