Automatic Management of Make-to-Order Production
Automatic job progress and work times. No terminals, no barcodes, no PLC connections.
Small sensors physically follow the job sheet. Others detect when machines and stations are working. You see where every order stands, in real time.
Already chosen by 20+ industrial companies in Italy
Up and running in a single day. No terminals, no barcodes, no manual input.
Zero costly interconnections
100% Italian solution
Zero manual input
Do you recognize these situations?
Production is more and more variable. Orders follow different paths. Invisible waits pile up between one phase and the next. Today competitiveness no longer depends only on the machines, but on how well you can control the physical flow of orders, materials and WIP.
You find out about the delay when it’s already too late.
Nobody warns you that an order is stuck. You find out when the customer calls or when the delivery is already at risk.
You replan every day.
Rush jobs, changes, orders that jump the queue. Planning gets redone over and over, and every change creates three more.
Machines idle without you knowing.
You don’t know if a station is idle, overloaded or waiting for material. You only find out the real status by walking the floor.
Management acts as air traffic control.
Daily meetings, calls between departments, people dedicated only to chasing progress updates. Time burned on coordination, not on decisions.
Komete’s solution
Total control of production, in real time
Komete combines automatic tracking of orders and semi-finished goods with plug&play monitoring of machines and stations. Real progress, not declared.
Automatic order progress
- Every order advances automatically when it enters or leaves an area
- No need to declare anything at the end of the shift
- The status is updated in real time
Real waiting and processing times
You know exactly:
- how long an order is stuck
- how long it’s being processed
- where WIP builds up
Status of machines and manual stations
Plug&play sensors detect:
- machine active / idle
- cycle duration
- real usage of manual stations
Delay prevention and replanning
The system flags:
- abnormal build-ups
- bottlenecks
- orders at risk of late delivery
How Komete works, in practice
Tags on the orders automatically follow their movement across departments and production phases, while plug&play sensors detect when machines and stations are active or idle.
All the data is shown on a digital map of the factory that displays progress, waits and WIP in real time. The AI analyzes the flows, flags anomalies and helps prevent delays before they hit deliveries.
1. Physical tracking of orders
“Active” sensors are linked to:
➜ order sheets
➜ bins of semi-finished goods
➜ containers or batches
Tracking is automatic and requires no action from operators.
2. Localization in the operating areas
The sensors are detected by antennas installed at workstations, logistics areas and storage zones.
Komete detects:
➜ real position
➜ entries and exits from the areas
➜ transit and idle times
3. Real status of machines and stations
Plug&play sensors automatically detect:
➜ machine active or idle
➜ real cycle duration
➜ usage of manual stations
➜ micro-stops and downtime
Physical flow and plant utilization in the same operational view.
4. Production updated with no manual input
Every movement automatically generates:
➜ order progress
➜ position
➜ WIP per area
➜ real inventory
No more barcodes and end-of-shift declarations.
5. Digital map and operational control
On a digital map you see:
➜ where every order is
➜ whether a machine or station is working
➜ where waits build up
The AI flags critical points and at-risk orders before the delay shows up.

Reliable deliveries and fewer last-minute rushes
Start small, scale fast
One department, one line, one logistics area. You measure the value on a small perimeter, then expand.
Up and running in a week, with production active, without stopping anything.

Why Komete is different from a traditional MES
The fast way vs the classic way
Quick installation, without complex interconnections
Plug & play sensors on orders and machines.
No heavy integration, no production downtime. Up and running in a day.
Zero manual input from operators
Operators don’t have to declare anything.
Komete automatically reads order movement and the real status of machines and workstations.
Watch the flow, not just the machines
It doesn’t just measure utilization or OEE.
It monitors order progress, throughput times and delivery delay risk.
The classic way | With Komete
The classic way | With Komete | |
|---|---|---|
| Installation | Weeks or months of integration | One day, plug & play |
| Operator input | Barcodes and declarations at every stage | Zero. Nothing to declare |
| Machine connection | PLC interconnection | None. Independent sensors |
| Order progress | Manually declared or estimated | Automatic, order by order |
| Work times | Entered at end of shift | Detected automatically, in real time |
| Data | Captures the past, after the fact | Shows what is happening right now |
