Who it is for
Pros
- A free version covers up to 5 workstations at no cost.
- Setup is described as taking minutes with no IT department needed.
- Natural language queries make production data easier to reach.
Limitations
- Free use is capped at 5 workstations, so growth means a paid plan, and pricing can change.
- It targets workshops, so it is not a full enterprise system replacement.
- Reported gains such as lower inventory cost and higher on time delivery are case examples, not promises for your plant.
What FabAI by MikroMES is
MikroMES is a modular MES platform for workshops with an AI agent called FabAI built in. It tracks machine downtime, watches production progress in real time, manages inventory, and handles maintenance work orders, all reachable from a phone, tablet, or desktop. FabAI answers questions in natural language and pulls useful information out of production data for decision support. The vendor states it can be deployed in about 60 seconds with no complex infrastructure and no IT department. Pricing includes a free version for up to 5 workstations, a basic version for up to 25 workstations at 2 dollars per workstation per month, and a professional version for up to 50 workstations at 1.9 dollars per workstation per month.
What you can do with it
- Track machine downtime and find the causes behind lost output.
- Monitor production progress live and adjust the plan.
- Manage inventory quantities and locations in one place.
- Ask FabAI plain questions instead of building reports by hand.
Who it is for
- Workshop operators who want a simple interface rather than complex menus.
- Supervisors who need live visibility on progress, downtime, and stock.
- Managers who want a single view of production status across the floor.
What to watch out for
The free version stops at 5 workstations, so any growth means moving to a paid plan, and listed prices can change. This is a workshop tool rather than a full enterprise system, so wider business processes may still need other software. Case figures quoted by the vendor, such as a 15 percent inventory cost drop and a 30 percent improvement in on time delivery, are examples from specific customers rather than promises for your plant. Real results depend on how well the equipment and workstation setup reflects the shop floor.
