FAQs about the mPS
Everything you need to know about mlean and the mPS
Can I create my own package of apps?
Absolutely!
Our software is modular, so you can choose the modules you want and leave out the ones you don’t. You can always upgrade later!
How many languages does the mPS come in?
Currently 19, but we’re always working to add more languages to the mix.
Why don’t you offer a free trial of the mPS?
To make the most of the mPS, we need to train our clients and show them best practices for our system.
The mPS is also tailored to your needs, so we need to know what the best features to include are for your circumstances, then get our Operations team to deploy them.
Because of this level of customisation, we can’t offer free trials, as they wouldn’t be truly representative of all the capabilities our system has.
How much does the mPS cost?
Because you pick and choose the modules you need from our software, we go on a case-by-case basis.
After we know what you need, we’ll send you a tailored proposal with absolutely no strings attached!
Can I connect the MES or any existing system within the company to mlean? How?
Yes, you can connect existing systems in your company through our API.
Why iOS?
When mlean started in 2014, Wi-Fi connectivity in factories was generally limited to certain areas.
Our solution can’t rely on whether the connection is good or not, so we developed native apps that can work without an internet connection.
iOS was the chosen option versus Android because of security, privacy, and user experience on iPads.
Is the software compatible with Android devices?
Yes, the web version of the mPS is suitable for any mobile device.
Can I synchronise the mPS with my HR platform to have the factory users' database available in the mPS?
Absolutely!
We have 3 different connection mechanisms depending on whether you want to provide authentication, load lists of workers, or synchronise data frequently.
Can I customise my dashboard?
Sure! Our BI integration allows you to customise your dashboard, giving you automatic access to a copy of the database stored in the mPS.
I’ve already implemented an MES in my factory, does the mPS works the same way?
No, it doesn’t!
An MES is designed to help you monitor the status of your production lines, OEE, etc.
The mPS works alongside your MES to implement continuous improvement, lean, and quality processes across your lines to help you hit your OEE goals.
How can I implement the mPS in my factory?
Very easily!
Our Customer Success team will get in contact with you to guide you throughout the whole set-up process, and they’re always on hand for any questions you may have before, during, or after deployment, so you won’t have to figure anything out on your own.
What happens if I get stuck?
What’s the difference between on-premise and cloud implementation?
The mPS gets deployed through the cloud by default.
If a customer wants to deploy the mPS on-premises, there’s an additional fee.
How can I get aggregate data for all factories within the group?
With our mPSHub, a solution for those who want to manage and get full visibility into several factories at once.
What do we need to make an mPS integration with our MES feasible?
Each client has a different MES system, so we need to take a look first to see what we’re working with.
However, we’ve never encountered a situation we couldn’t sort out!
