About MDEX
MDEX (Machine Data EXchange) is a machine-data platform for manufacturing that connects CNC machines, robots and sensors across manufacturers to a real-time, event-driven data layer. It helps metal-parts manufacturers and CNC machine shops monitor production using machine signals and order status. Features include real-time dashboards, CNC error and custom-trigger notifications, an Andon board, production management linking ERP-planned orders to production start, BLE-based operator presence, tool data, traceability, and PDF/Excel reports with scheduled email delivery. Analytics provide trend analysis and anomaly detection, while an AI assistant lets users ask natural-language questions about production data. A standard API and webhooks support connections with Epicor, MKG and Imnoo; the system can also be used without an ERP. MDEX is designed for manufacturers operating CNC equipment from multiple vendors.
