HEKA
What it is
HEKA is a modular Manufacturing Operating System with MES capabilities, delivered through a web browser. It connects standard work, production execution, performance management, and continuous improvement for manufacturers. Teams can create structured work instructions containing photos, tools, parts, specifications, and PPE. They can record work at a station, divide footage into steps, annotate it, and publish a controlled instruction. Revisions are versioned, reviewed, and approved with a signed audit trail. The same source can produce operator-station instructions or A4 sheets, supporting paper, hybrid, and fully digital operations. HEKA links approved methods and production bills of materials with work orders and operator instructions. It tracks availability, performance, and quality by process, line, and shift, connecting downtime and defects to work context. Improvement tools include 5S audits, Kaizen actions, and follow-up that can move verified improvements into updated standards. Pricing is quoted after discussing an operation and pilot rather than sold as a fixed per-seat package.
