What does every stop really cost you?

The P&L is decided on the shop floor and discovered in the office, thirty days late. Meddle puts a price on what happens on the machines: a stop in euros, a consumption on the bill, a scrap in material. Then you ask it, in plain language.

The problem

You decide in the dark, and you pay late.

The cost of a stop is a guess

You know the line stopped, not what it cost in euros.

The margin shows up in the final accounts

When the quote was signed long ago, and you do not know which job it went on.

Nobody uses the latest software

An expensive IT project that never reached the shop floor. The knowledge stays in people’s heads.

Where the number comes from

From the stop to the euro.

With your own margin and tariff values. If the parameters are yours, the number is yours.
What you can ask the factory

The answer in euros, in ten seconds.

“What did this week of stops cost us?”
The 4 stops are worth about €7,400 in lost production, energy and restart scrap.
“Which line performs better?”
Line 1 is at 78% OEE, Line 2 at 71%. The gap is worth about 1,200 parts a week.
“What is worth investing in first?”
The GP800 extruder concentrates 34% of the energy and 41% of the stops.

You measure the saving before you sign.

It starts from one line, read only, 2-4 weeks. You see the real cost of the stops and the saving on your own data. No black box, no site works, no hardware to begin. We calculate the payback before, not after.

Why trust us

Choosing a startup, without the risk.

The pilot de-risks the choice. Small scope, a few weeks, saving measured on your own data before any commitment.

Continuity in the contract. Meddle was born inside Quinck, the software house behind it. Service continuity is put in writing.

The data stays yours. History in an open, exportable format. For projects that require it, we put continued access to the software in writing.

From the field
“At the end of the month I know I have lost margin. What I need is to know it on the day of the stop, not thirty days later.”

Frequently asked questions

The rest, in short.

What does it cost to start?

You start from one line, not from the whole plant. No cost per tag, per data point or per source.

Do I have to change my machines?

No. Meddle reads the machines you have, any brand, with the protocols they already speak. No extra hardware.

Do I need a dedicated person?

No. It is built for companies without an IT department: you provide one point of contact for the first session, we handle the rest.

Does my data stay mine?

Yes. It stays in Europe and it stays yours. The platform is NIS-2 ready.

Want the number on your plants?

We connect one line and in less than 20 minutes you see what a stop costs you.
