MachineMetrics.
Cloud machine monitoring + MES, strong in CNC and heavy machinery.
Pick MachineMetricsif…
Picking MachineMetrics: you're a US-based shop running CNC or heavy equipment and want the established catalog with a mature sales motion.
Pick Xentr if…
- You want a single vendor for MES, OEE, Andon, work orders and quality — not a monitoring product with MES added.
- You want an opinionated modern UX, not a long-running cloud tool.
- You want faster time to pilot and lighter onboarding footprint.
MachineMetrics is a battle-tested cloud monitor. Xentr is the purpose-built manufacturing OS with the full MES surface baked in.
