It gives production teams a live view of machine states, running orders and key performance indicators such as availability, performance, quality and OEE. Downtime events are captured automatically and can be enriched with operator reason codes, helping teams understand where production time is being lost and which recurring issues have the greatest impact. Reports and analytics make it easy to compare machines, lines, shifts and time periods, while alerts help teams react quickly when production problems occur. Machine and production data can be collected through hopit Edge from PLCs, CNC controllers and other industrial equipment. Supported connectivity includes technologies such as Siemens SINUMERIK, Siemens S7, Beckhoff ADS/TwinCAT, OPC UA, Modbus, MQTT and FANUC. This allows manufacturers to connect both modern and existing equipment and create a consistent production data foundation across the shop floor. hopit Manufacturing is designed for manufacturers that want reliable production visibility without the complexity of a large MES implementation. Standardized OEE calculations, machine-recorded timestamps and structured production data support continuous improvement, reporting and further analytics or AI applications. The software is especially suited to manufacturers in industries such as machinery, plastics, electronics, food and beverage, building materials and other machine-based production environments. > > Verdict: Rated **4.0/5** by 2 users.

Besonders positiv ist auch das tolle und sehr engagierte Team, das bei Fragen oder Problemen schnell unterstützt und offen für Feedback und Verbesserungsvorschläge ist. > > **Cons**: Das HOPIT Portal befindet sich aktuell noch etwas in den Anfangsschuhen und bietet daher an einigen Stellen noch Ausbaupotenzial. Zusätzliche Funktionen, mehr Integrationsmöglichkeiten bzw. Treiber sowie erweiterte Diagnose- und Management-Funktionen würden die Plattform weiter verbessern. > > Insgesamt haben wir mit HOPIT bisher sehr gute Erfahrungen gemacht. Die Lösung ist schlank aufgebaut, übersichtlich und lässt sich schnell konfigurieren. Gerade im täglichen Betrieb finde ich es angenehm, dass vieles unkompliziert funktioniert und man nicht für jede kleine Änderung einen großen Aufwand hat. Sehr positiv ist für mich auch die Zusammenarbeit mit HEAP - das Team ist engagiert, reagiert schnell und versucht bei Problemen oder neuen Anforderungen gemeinsam eine passende Lösung zu finden. Feedback wird aufgenommen und man merkt, dass das Produkt laufend weiterentwickelt wird. Natürlich gibt es auch noch Luft nach oben... vor allem das HOPIT Portal ist aus meiner Sicht noch etwas in den Anfangsschuhen und könnte funktional weiter ausgebaut werden. Auch zusätzliche Treiber und Integrationsmöglichkeiten wären für unterschiedliche Produktionsumgebungen sehr hilfreich. ----- ### "Business Owner ADG" — 4.0/5 > **Jürgen** | *10 September 2026* | Building Materials | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: einfache Oberfläche, stabile Lösung, rascher und sehr kompetenter Support, Flexibilität bei der Entwicklung, Verwendung von neuesten Standards > > **Cons**: Weiterentwicklungen sind nur sporadisch und anlassbezogen. Wenig Entwicklung durch andere Usecases (Kunden) > > einfache stabile Lösung mit rascher kompetenter Beratung. Kleine Fehler in der Oberfläche die aber rasch behoben werden ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/689809/hopit-Manufacturing) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
