Side-by-Side Machine Challenge

Prove your data. Or prove it wrong.

The Problem

Most systems give you visibility, but not confidence. If the data is late, incomplete, or hard to trust, the dashboard becomes decoration instead of control.

  • Dashboards without trust
  • Metrics that do not match reality
  • Data that informs, but does not drive action

The Challenge

We test one selected machine side-by-side against your current system and challenge the accuracy, metrics, and presentation of the results.

  • $1,000 one-time pilot
  • No further commitment required
  • One machine under real production conditions
  • Compare results side-by-side

What We Challenge

Data Accuracy
Metric Integrity
Ease of Presentation
Real-World Fit

MERLIN vs. Production Intelligence

MERLIN

  • OEE license cost: $3,750
  • ASM at 15%: $562.50 annually
  • Legacy core technology
  • Maintains visibility
  • Harder path to next-generation governance

Production Intelligence

  • $1,000 pilot with no ongoing obligation
  • $47 per machine per month challenge price after success
  • Modern, scalable architecture
  • Improved accuracy and usability
  • Creates the path to MERIT 2.0 governance

If We Do Not Win

You walk away. No forced transition. No subscription commitment. No long sales cycle.

If We Do Win

You can enroll as many machines as you like at the challenge price.

  • $47 per machine per month
  • Negligible transition cost from MERLIN
  • Expand at your own pace

Why This Matters

This is not just a lower-cost subscription. It is a low-risk way to prove whether your current machine data is accurate enough to run the business on. When the data is right, response improves. When response improves, execution improves. And when execution improves, the path opens to shop-floor governance through MERIT 2.0.

Challenge Qualification

Best fit for manufacturers who want a low-risk proof point before making any broader system decision.
