From family-owned workshops to multi-plant groups — factories across 11+ industries run their daily production on Meta Smart Factory.
Multi-plant industrial groups and established mid-sized manufacturers across Europe, the Middle East and North America run their production on Meta Smart Factory — several of them having chosen MSF as the single standard for the entire group rather than plant by plant.
NORMA Group, a global leader in engineered joining technology, is standardising on Meta Smart Factory across its international manufacturing network, with a rollout scoped to 17 plants. Projects are already underway at sites in the United States, the United Kingdom, Serbia, France and Germany.
What makes this programme significant is the decision behind it. Rather than letting each plant choose its own local system and reconciling the numbers in spreadsheets afterwards, NORMA Group selected one platform for the whole group. Every site — whatever its country, language or machine park — reports into the same system, against the same definitions.
The result is a genuinely managed manufacturing network rather than a collection of separately digitalised factories: group management sees production, OEE, quality and delivery performance from every plant in one place and in real time. A plant manager in Serbia and a director in Germany open the same figure, calculated the same way, updated the same minute — and MSF speaks each site's own language while doing it.
Single-point visibility across countries, time zones and ERP landscapes is precisely what Meta Smart Factory was built to deliver.

"Before MSF we planned in Excel and lived in firefighting mode. Now the schedule updates itself and our on-time delivery went from 78% to 96% in six months."
— Operations Director, automotive parts supplier, Slovenia"The PoC convinced our CFO before we spent serious money. They proved the ROI on our own data — that's why we chose Meta Smart Factory over the big names."
— Managing Director, injection moulding company, Germany"We found 18% hidden capacity on our bottleneck line in the first three months. We were about to order a new machine we didn't need."
— Plant Manager, machinery manufacturer, Turkey"Full lot traceability used to take us two days per customer audit. Now it's two clicks. Our retail customers noticed."
