Manufacturing Process Intelligence Platform
Metaprod Trace is a system for describing, analyzing, and optimizing manufacturing processes, resources, and operational constraints.
What problem does it solve?
Modern manufacturing lacks transparent models of production causes. Metaprod Trace defines the production genome — the ontology of actions, tools, and material conditions from which every industrial result emerges.
What you can do
- Model operations as a deterministic sequence of actions and constraints using BES-based microelements.
- Build hierarchical process trees: Product → Operation → Step → Action → Microelements.
- Track resources and traceability requirements where proof is needed.
- Calculate time standards automatically from microelement compositions.
- Reduce hidden costs by making production assumptions explicit and auditable.
Who is it for?
Industrial engineers, production managers, and manufacturing consultants who need to establish transparent, reproducible production models at the level of the holding.
Why Metaprod Trace
- When standard MTM is no longer enough — go beyond dry calculations to live process control with granularity that classical systems cannot provide.
- Design the perfect process 3x faster on Canvas — forget Excel; build production chains with drag-and-drop and instant cycle time calculation.
- Zero methodology tax: own your standards — invest in real shop-floor optimisation, not annual licences for the right to measure time.
- From modelling to profit in minutes — create, test, and deploy manufacturing routes without unnecessary costs.
- Break production down to atoms — describe motions with granularity beyond template-based methods and find hidden reserves.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Metaprod Trace?
Metaprod Trace is a manufacturing process intelligence platform that lets you model operations as hierarchical process trees using BES-based microelements, automatically calculate time standards, and optimize production workflows.
What are BES microelements?
BES (Base Element System) microelements are atomic work units — like reach, grasp, move, position — each with a pre-determined time value. By composing these into action sequences, you get precise, reproducible time standards for any manufacturing operation.
Is Metaprod Trace free to use?
Yes, Metaprod Trace offers a free tier that includes the full process tree builder, automatic time calculation, and cloud save. Paid plans are available for teams that need additional collaboration and storage features.
What languages does Metaprod Trace support?
Metaprod Trace supports 13 languages: English, Russian, German, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Hindi, Korean, Chinese, Malay, French, and Turkish.
