ZEO Technology

What ZEO Technology does

ZEO Technology for Industry S.L. is a Spanish-headquartered (Tajonar, Navarra) private software-and-hardware vendor that builds a modular Manufacturing Execution System (MES) platform for industrial manufacturers. The platform combines proprietary IIoT hardware — ZEO Data Capture devices that connect to machines via PLC signals — with software organised around three core modules: Zero Defects (paperless quality checks, process-parameter monitoring, and full product traceability), Efficiency OEE (real-time OEE calculation with stop, micro-stop, and shift-level analysis), and On Time Delivery (dynamic production sequencing, deviation alerts, and Gantt-based compliance planning). Ten supporting modules extend the platform with BI/Data Warehouse, API connectors to ERP/MES/WMS, shop-floor Andons, documentation management, materials/recipes, and the ZEO Copilot & AI assistant for anomaly detection and operational decision support. Deployment is available in cloud or on-premise, and the platform is explicitly designed to complement rather than replace existing ERP and MES systems.

The company monetises through a recurring subscription (modular software), bundled IIoT hardware sales, and professional services for implementation and pilot deployment, with a 14-day free trial of the OEE Lite entry tier as the top-of-funnel acquisition mechanism. Pricing is quote-based and undisclosed; the firm runs a consultative enterprise field-sales motion with 30–45 minute tailored video demos and a progressive pilot methodology, supported by educational content (blog, downloadable guides, OEE ROI calculator, Power BI dashboard packs) and active participation in industry events such as Advanced Factories. Customers span automotive (KYB, SKF, Thyssenkrupp Rothe Erde), food (Productos Chef, Florette, Viscofan, Grupo IAN, ABLE, Dantza/Grupo AN), pharma (Cinfa), chemical (Huntsman, Graftech), packaging and plastics (Tasubinsa, Bacaicoa, Megaempack), metalworking (Cosmos Grupo, Garay), paper (Lecta), and logistics (Schnellecke), with a customer base present across Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Slovakia, Mexico, Chile, Japan, and the United States.

ZEO has been primarily funded by public grants — Horizon 2020 (Smart OEE, IoT 4 Industry), CDTI (INDUSTR-IA, 2023), ENISA, FEDER/ERDF, Gobierno de Navarra, and EU Next Generation — with no disclosed venture-capital or private-equity rounds, consistent with an independent, founder-led operating posture. The firm holds UNE-ISO 27001 certification (information security management) and was named a certified provider of the Polo de Innovación Digital de Navarra (IRIS) digital innovation hub in 2026. Reported operational metrics include 25,000+ connected people/machines/lines, a 6-month average payback period after pilot, +15% average OEE improvement within 6 months of pilot, and a 4.9/5 Google review rating; the company is small (11–50 employees).
