Critical Manufacturing, provider of Industry 4.0-focused manufacturing execution systems (MES), has partnered with Twinzo, a company in real-time 3D digital twin technology. This partnership introduces a connector that enables manufacturers to integrate Twinzo’s digital twin platform directly with Critical Manufacturing MES—providing live visualization of manufacturing operations in an intuitive and mobile 3D environment, Critical Manufacturing reports.

Twinzo’s digital twin app transforms complex factory environments into immersive 3D spaces that reflect real-time conditions across equipment, processes, and production lines, the company explains. It provides users with the ability to navigate their facilities virtually, monitor key performance indicators like Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), and access tailored insights across roles—from frontline operators to plant managers, according to the company. With configurable data flows and user defined control over which metrics are streamed, the solution delivers relevant information without added complexity, supporting faster decision-making at every level of the organization, the company adds.

“We have always believed that technology should make factory life simpler, more collaborative, and more informed,” says Michal Ukropec, CEO at Twinzo. “Partnering with Critical Manufacturing allows us to bring our technology into some of the most advanced smart factories in the world—connecting real-time visualization with one of the most capable MES solutions on the market. Together, we are turning visibility into action—and that’s where real transformation begins.”

The integration is part of Critical Manufacturing’s Industry 4.0 strategy, which positions the MES not just as a standalone solution, but as the central backbone of a broader ecosystem of manufacturing intelligence. In addition to a manufacturing data platform, Critical Manufacturing is developing a suite of plug-and-play applications that enable customers to adopt new technologies quickly and without disruption.

These apps, developed in-house and with partners like Twinzo, leverage Critical Manufacturing MES data for visibility into specific processes or machines, giving access to pre-built dashboards for quicker, more informed decision-making. By connecting with the latest and most innovative third-party technology, it increases manufacturers’ power to scale their digital capabilities over time at their own pace for their specific needs.

“Our customers are looking for more than just technology—they want the freedom to choose the tools that suit their goals and the ability to scale those tools easily,” says Teresa Carreiro, head of Subscription Business at Critical Manufacturing. “Twinzo’s app fits perfectly into this vision. It is user-friendly, impactful, and built for the future. This partnership is not just about enabling digital twins in a flexible subscription model, it’s about building a connected environment that responds to both the needs and ambitions of modern manufacturers.”

The partnership will be on display at the upcoming MES & Industry 4.0 (MESI) Summit, hosted by Critical Manufacturing in Porto, June 12-13. Twinzo will be featured in the event’s Innovation Hub—a space showcasing technologies.

As part of the innovation hub, Twinzo will present the integrated solution in action, offering a look at how digital twins are enhancing factory visibility, performance, and collaboration.
