INTRODUCING
Introducing MestekNet… the latest innovative solution from Mestek Machinery and B&R Controls that’s redefining HVAC sheet metal fabrication — a true machine tool intelligence technology that monitors machine performance and output in real-time and facilitates a data-driven approach to manufacturing.
MestekNet is an integrated ecosystem of production equipment analytics, offering many possibilities for the future of HVAC sheet metal fabrication and production.
For shop owners and production managers, MestekNet provides an intuitive dashboard of key performance indicators via B&R Machine Tool Intelligence for the productivity and health of shop assets. MestekNet is available on several Mestek Machinery solutions including Iowa Precision duct lines, Lockformer Spiral Tubeformers, and Lockformer Vulcan Fiber Laser, Plasma, and Waterjet cutting systems.
Data available on MestekNet includes important utilization, production, and consumption information to track how well an asset is being utilized such as the number of parts being produced, the number jobs being executed, how much material is consumed, and more. Furthermore, each of these pieces of data can be viewed and sorted across a number of dimensions. For example, you may want to look at how many pounds of material went through machine overall — or you can drill down even further to view pounds per job, per associate, per day, per hour, per gauge, and even by job type such as K-12, Pharmaceutical, Healthcare, etc.

With these insights on-demand, contractors and fabricators have the power to make better operational decisions, add nuance to productivity tracking and resource management, and add historical context to future estimating for more intelligent bidding.
For fabricators looking to enhance their understanding of production and performance measurement in duct shops, MestekNet represents a precise, real-time visualization tool that turns data analytics into tangible business and productivity insights. This valuable production data is accessible to authorized users both onsite and offsite and even on mobile devices.
As MestekNet matures, more features will become available to the shop, such as KPI reports, long-term trending, asset health analysis, job time anticipation, and even the ability to track productivity. Mestek Machinery, along with its partner B&R, will continue to work closely with users to ensure that valuable insights create opportunities for efficiency and business intelligence.
