Amper (ECI)

Amper, a product from ECI, is a production monitoring and intelligence platform for manufacturers. It automates shop-floor data collection using IoT sensors that capture machine uptime, downtime, and cycle counts, and ties this data to ERP work orders, parts, and production standards. Core capabilities include OEE and downtime tracking, real-time alerts and dashboards, and custom reporting. Add-on modules cover smart scheduling, an operator touchscreen interface, issue management, and maintenance management. The vendor's site also describes AI features such as a daily performance summary, trend analysis, and a conversational query tool for shop-floor data.

The vendor's site says Amper is designed for manufacturers including job shops, OEMs, and contract manufacturers. It connects to machines through non-invasive IoT sensors, aggregators, and PLC integrations, described as working on equipment of any type, age, or vintage. Amper also has pre-built ERP and MES integrations, per the site, though the specific systems supported are not named.

The site does not list any pricing figures or plans; instead it directs visitors to talk with sales or request a demo, so pricing is unclear. Deployment details for the software platform itself (cloud versus on-premise) are not described beyond the hardware sensor setup. The named ERP and MES integrations are not specified by vendor name, leaving exactly how they connect unclear from the site.
