Industry standards, right from the school workshop

The workshop, in order — without losing your whole day to it.

CMMS, Lean, KPIs, tool and material management, production orders: apprentices train on the standards they'll find on the job — not on paper. The whole workshop, in one platform.

Why MECAFLOW

Light where others are heavy

No sensors to install, no server to connect, no three-day training course. MECAFLOW fits into your workshop without disrupting it — and saves you time from day one.

100% non-invasive

We don't touch your machines, your network, or your IT systems. No wiring, no sensors, no integration to install: a QR sticker and a phone are all it takes.

Time saved, every day

No more twenty minutes spent looking for a micrometer or a drill bit. Every tool has its tray, its drawer and its current holder: better organised, found instantly, bought less often.

Up and running the same day

No IT project, no heavy training. You print the QR codes, everyone gets their PIN, and the workshop is running from day one.

Sound familiar?

The everyday headaches of running a workshop

Paper, whiteboards, binders, lost messages… MECAFLOW replaces all of it with a single gesture: a scan, a tap.

?
“Who took the micrometer?”

Every instrument has its place, its current holder and its calibration due date.

?
A machine breaks down, and no one is notified

Faults reported in 3 taps, instructor notified, history and knowledge base included.

?
Apprentices disconnected from the industry's real tools

They train on a real CMMS, real Lean tools and real KPIs — the standards they'll find on the job, with validation quizzes included.

?
An apprentice on a machine they're not certified for

Assignment automatically blocked until the certification is ticked off — safety first.

?
The drill bit stock hits zero on a Tuesday morning

Alert thresholds; below the minimum, the app prepares the request for quote to the right supplier.

?
No way to know who's doing what, where, right now

Real-time workshop map, wall-mounted TV view: the whole workshop at a glance.

MECAFLOW handles all of this — and much more, in a single app installable on mobile and PC.

Adopted in a day

Three gestures, and the workshop is up to date

No heavy training, no equipment to install. A QR code on every machine, a PIN for every person.

Scan the machine

Every machine, tray and instrument carries its own QR code. A scan opens its record, even without being logged in.

Enter your PIN, choose the action

The PIN identifies the person. Large buttons: change a status, report a fault, take out a tool.

Everything is tracked, automatically

History, alerts, logbook, reports: filled in automatically. You steer, the app records.

The whole workshop in one app

One platform, not a pile of tools

One platform where everything talks to everything else — from maintenance to production orders. The real tools of the industry, explained for apprentices.

Workshop & machines

Real-time statuses

Colour-coded workshop map, wall TV view, complete history. One scan, one tap, and it's up to date.

Maintenance & faults

Recurring preventive maintenance, faults handled in 3 steps with a knowledge base, costs tracked.

Tool trays & calibration

Every instrument has its place, its holder and its calibration due date.

Stock & requests for quote

Material and tools tracked; below the threshold, the app prepares the order to the right supplier.
