Questions about switching
Is OpeEye a MachineMetrics alternative?
+
Yes, for shop-floor monitoring: both show machine status, output, downtime and OEE live, with unlimited users. OpeEye publishes its price ($5 per machine a month outside India, ₹399 in India) and starts with operator tablets on any machine; MachineMetrics quotes per project and starts from machine connectivity through edge gateways.
How much does MachineMetrics cost compared with OpeEye?
+
MachineMetrics does not publish a price; its pricing page lists three tiers and asks you to contact sales. OpeEye costs $5 per machine per month outside India, so 10 machines are $50 a month with every feature. Ask MachineMetrics for a written quote for your machine count, including any gateways or sensors.
When is MachineMetrics the better choice?
+
When you want monitoring, MES functions (job routing, labour tickets, scheduling) and bi-directional ERP integration from one established North American vendor, across several sites, with a designated support contact. Those are strengths it lists on its own pricing page.
When is OpeEye the better choice?
+
When price matters, when many machines are old or manual and have no controller to connect to, when you want to be live in a day with tablets and no wiring, when operators need the screens in Hindi or Gujarati, or when you want custom screens built for your process. OpeEye also reads Fanuc, Mitsubishi, Siemens and Haas controls directly where you want hands-free counting.
Can I switch from MachineMetrics to OpeEye?
+
Yes. Start OpeEye on a few machines alongside your current system for the 15-day trial, compare what each shows for the same shifts, then move the rest machine by machine. Your machines, parts and operators are added on a call; history from the old system stays wherever you export it.
