MECATHERM unveiled MyMecatherm at iba, its new digital platform. In addition, connected services Digital Care and Digital Care+ are also available. It was developed in partnership with MaMaTa, MECATHERM’s sister company specializing in IoT. The new platform “leverages data to help industrial bakers better understand, optimize, and manage their production lines with simplicity, precision, and seamless access to MECATHERM experts,” the company explains. The solution aims to structure the data gathered along the operating lines, to identify opportunities for improvements.

 “The real challenge lies in capturing the right data at the right time and turning it into actionable insights that drive better decision-making and performance. This is exactly what MECATHERM addresses with its new digital platform, MyMecatherm, and its connected services, Digital Care and Digital Care+,” MECATHERM says. 

From MyMecatherm platform, two service levels are available:

• Digital Care provides access to real-time, historical, and cumulative data for in-depth performance analysis. Users can also build custom tools to exploit this data effectively
• Digital Care+ offers automatic alerts and updates on equipment behavior deviations (such as discrepancies between setpoints and values, mechanical drifts, or defects), helping prevent breakdowns before they occur.

Key features include:

• Access to live and historical data on temperature, energy use, speed, and product parameters.
• Instant alerts for equipment anomalies with visual color coding for easy identification. These alerts are based on data that is interpreted, analysed, and processed via advanced algorithms.
• Custom dashboards tailored to each team’s needs, enabling performance reviews and root cause analysis after incidents occur.

Already implemented on several production lines, MyMecatherm is now available to all MECATHERM customers, with enhanced features for those using M-Care Ready equipment. Digital Care+ features are available for the MECATHERM FTP oven, M-TA oven, and M-UB proofers. All equipment manufactured since 2022 is compatible, and a roadmap for connecting additional machines will be shared at the show.

At iba, the company showcases the solutions in live demonstrations.
