Smart factory: what a smart factory looks like in practice
By João Brighenti, founder of MesttiReviewed on
What a smart factory has
Connected machines
IoT sensors on existing machines, no PLC and no changes to the controls.
Real-time data
State, counts and stops reach the system within seconds.
One system
Production, planning, quality and OEE on one base.
AI that proposes
An AI agent reads the data and suggests actions. A person approves.
Smart factory, Industry 4.0 and MES
Industry 4.0
- The movement: deciding with connected data.
- Applies to the whole industry.
Smart factory
- The result in one specific plant.
- Measured in connected machines and decisions made.
MES and MOM
- The systems that make it happen on the shop floor.
- Production, quality, maintenance and inventory.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need new machines for a smart factory?
No. Most machines, including old ones, can be measured with an external sensor, without a PLC.
Is a smart factory only for large plants?
No. Small plants feel every lost hour more and start with one department and a few machines.
Where does AI come in?
Mestti is an AI-powered platform. Otto, the AI agent, reads production data, explains deviations and proposes actions that only happen with a person’s approval.
Do I need an IT team?
Not to get started. The system runs in the cloud, opens in the browser and the app runs on a tablet. The network needs 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi near the machines.
Start your smart factory with the machines you already have.
Leave your contact and we will schedule the demo at the best time for you.
If it doesn’t fit, we remove the sensor and you pay nothing.
