MACH Launches With 90-Day Trial and Three Packages for Heavy-Industry Manufacturers
San Antonio, United States – July 18, 2026 / Kinetech Cloud /
SAN ANTONIO, Texas – July 13, 2026 – Kinetech Cloud LLC has announced the launch of MACH (Machine Analytics & Control Hub), a real-time production monitoring and scheduling platform designed for heavy-industry manufacturers. Learn more at machmanufacturing.io.
A persistent disconnect exists on many manufacturing floors: the numbers reported by operators rarely match what leadership sees. MACH was developed to address that gap directly. The platform tracks machine state, downtime reasons, and job progress as events occur, then connects that data to a live schedule that reflects actual floor conditions rather than a plan set at the start of the shift.
“Most manufacturers track machine uptime. Fewer connect that data to the cost of getting a part out the door. That gap is expensive, and closing it is what we built MACH to do. The data is the foundation, but the improvements come from what we do with it.” – Connor Lanman, Head of Product
The platform translates floor-level data into the figures that drive business decisions. Real-time machine state captures micro-stops and speed loss that standard utilization reports typically overlook. Capability-aware scheduling applies machine constraints automatically and groups jobs to reduce sequence-dependent changeover. Predicted job durations draw from actual production history rather than estimates. OEE and KPI formulas are configurable, allowing each operation to define the metrics that reflect its own processes.
MACH is structured as a suite of applications. MACH Schedule pulls jobs from the ERP and rebalances the plan the moment a machine goes down, giving schedulers the ability to make adjustments in real time as they move through the facility. MACH Monitor displays every machine’s current state – running, down, in changeover, or idle – along with the reason an operator logged when a stoppage occurred. MACH Hub tracks performance against custom KPIs and continuous-improvement initiatives. All three applications are accessible from the shop floor, the office, or any location with an internet connection.
The platform is machine- and hardware-agnostic, allowing manufacturers to invest in the equipment that fits their specific operation.
MACH did not originate as a packaged product. It began as a custom engagement with one of the largest steel fabricators in the United States. The team applied what it learned from that project, along with more than a decade of experience building bespoke applications, to develop a platform suited to the demands of heavy industry, where digital operations have become a practical necessity.
That background in custom software development has given Kinetech direct experience with the gap between software promises and delivered results. To address that, MACH is offered with a no-risk 90-day trial covering both the software and the implementation team. The only cost to the customer during the trial period is hardware installation. If the platform does not deliver, both parties can walk away without obligation.
MACH is available in three packages. MACH Complete includes the full suite, while MACH Schedule and MACH Monitor are also available as standalone purchases. All packages are priced per work center.
Manufacturers interested in understanding what their floor may be losing can begin with a Shop Floor Diagnostic: a one-hour discovery call, a live demo built around the specific problem described, and, where there is a fit, a shop visit and a written report outlining the value of closing the identified gap. Diagnostics can be booked at machmanufacturing.io/diagnostic.
About MACH
MACH is an operational intelligence platform for manufacturers, built by Kinetech, a San Antonio software company that has built custom software since 2014. It connects directly to shop-floor equipment, capturing machine state, operator context, and production results in real time and putting that data in front of the people who make the decisions, with no MES required. MACH spans production monitoring, scheduling, and analytics, so a plant can see its floor as it runs and act on what it finds. The platform grew out of a decade of custom work, including a steel-fabricator project that recovered about 20% more capacity and cut changeover time by 45% on equipment the shop already owned.
