The TEEPTRAK approach

Before you buy an AI platform, get the data layer running.

Most shortlists stall on one question: where will the data come from? TEEPTRAK connects machines of any brand and age and delivers states, stops, cycles and OEE from the first days. The AI decision can then rest on measured losses instead of promises.

Works with or without a PLC, on new and old machines alike
Open data export, so any later AI or MES project can use the full history
Operator screens, training and support in the plant's language

Used in 450+ factories. At Hutchinson, OEE rose from 47% to 72%. Installed with a module wired into the electrical cabinet and a sensor at the edge of the line. No PLC changes. TEEPTRAK is not an MES: it measures, so you know what to fix first.
