Power BI integrations · MES system
Production burns profit quietly.
Let’s see which way it leaves.
Controllers, sensors and plant systems land in one data layer, visible in Power BI. Losses stop being a matter of instinct and become a line item with an amount. No migration, no replacing systems.
Starting point
A modern plant cannot run on instinct.
The shop-floor data usually exists already — in controllers, in SCADA, in the ERP and in the shift supervisor’s head. The trouble starts where it has to be brought together and turned into a decision.
The report arrives too late
The shift ends on Friday, the spreadsheet is ready on Tuesday. The decision concerns production that no longer exists.
Everyone counts OEE differently
Production has its 78%, the board sees 61%. The meeting turns into an argument about numbers instead of causes.
Downtime reason: “breakdown”
The most frequent stoppage code says nothing. Without a breakdown by cause there is nothing to fix.
The change in practice
What the morning stand-up looks like before and after
- Before: A spreadsheet filled in during the shift (three versions of the file in circulation). After implementation: Data straight from the machines (controllers and sensors, nothing retyped).
- Before: Numbers from the supervisor’s memory (every department counts its own way). After implementation: One definition of OEE (the same on the floor and in the boardroom).
- Before: Report ready three days later (the decision concerns the past). After implementation: Report in real time (state from a dozen seconds ago).
- Before: Downtime reason: “breakdown” (nothing there to fix). After implementation: A reason with a specific code (Pareto shows where to start).
- Shift OEE before implementation: 78% according to production, 61% according to the board. After: 74.2%, one number for everyone.
What we do
Power BI integration and an MES — one service, one product
Core service
Power BI integration
The full path of the data: from the controller signal, through the semantic model, to a report somebody genuinely opens at 6:00 in the morning.
- One definition of each metric for the whole plant
- No system replacement — we start from what already runs
- The first working report in 2–3 weeks
Implementation from 8,000 PLN net.

HyperVision MES
A manufacturing execution system billed per station. The core runs from day one; the rest you pick as modules.
From 89 PLN per station per month.
Product demo
You don’t have to take our word for it — just click it
A working slice of the HyperVision MES: you report a stoppage, you close an Andon call — and the OEE on the dashboard recalculates from your clicks.

This is an assumption, not a forecast. The improvement is earned by maintenance and production — the system supplies the data that shows where those percentage points are sitting.

Why we do this
Production burns money quietly. Our job is to show it
Losses in a plant rarely look like losses. They are three minutes of downtime nobody recorded, a changeover longer than the standard, and a batch reworked after hours.
- Goal
- To reach a state where every hour of a shift has an explanation — and the gap between plan and actual can be named as a specific cause, not as “a weaker week”.
- Mission
- To deliver a tool that sees the floor as it is and shows it without embellishment. The decision to change is made inside the plant — our part is making sure it is made on numbers rather than on instinct.
- Principle
- We do not sell a metric that will rise by itself. We join the project as part of the team: together we agree what to measure, together we check whether the numbers add up, and together we answer for somebody actually using them.
Where profit disappears most often
Micro-stops
Stoppages shorter than three minutes reach no spreadsheet. Over a month that is hours of production nobody counted.
Changeovers
The standard says one thing, the floor does another. Without measurement the gap has neither an owner nor a cause.
Scrap without a code
Material goes into the bin under the heading “quality”. Until there is a cause, there is nothing to fix.
A report after the fact
A summary ready on Tuesday describes production nobody can influence any more.
None of these can be fixed by a decision made off a slide. Every one of them can, however, be measured — and that is where the work together starts.

The questions that usually end the call
Five objections that most often end a first conversation. They are here up front so nobody has to phone in to hear them — and the full set lives on its own page.
What is the difference between an MES and a Power BI integration?+
The MES is a product that collects data on the floor at the moment events happen: orders, stoppages, scrap, reports. A Power BI integration is a service — it takes data that already exists somewhere (in the MES, ERP, SCADA or files), arranges it into one model and builds reports from it. The MES answers “what is happening on the floor right now”, Power BI answers “what did it look like over a month and a quarter”.
Do we have to replace the ERP or the systems we already run?+
No. We start from what already works — controllers, SCADA, MES, ERP, even spreadsheets. The data layer is built alongside them, not instead of them, so no existing system changes the way it works because of this implementation.
Does the subscription price cover connecting the machines?+
The amount above covers the system itself, in the subscription model. Connecting machines and company systems is a separate stage: it starts with an integration audit and is quoted separately — the scope depends on what stands on the floor and on what the ERP exposes.
Where does the data sit — in the cloud or on our servers?+
It depends on the system. Power BI runs in the Microsoft cloud, but on the plant’s own tenant — not on our infrastructure — and the data layer can be kept entirely on company servers. The HyperVision MES is always deployed on-premise, inside the plant’s closed network — with no data leaving the site and no cloud variant.
What if our data is incomplete or messy?+
That is the starting position in most plants and a normal part of the work. The kick-off workshop exists exactly to establish what can be calculated today, what is missing and what has to be measured. We come out of it with a list of metrics that can be calculated from what already exists.
