What MAINWARE does
MAINWARE s.r.o. is a Pardubice, Czech Republic-based industrial software vendor founded in 2019 that builds a modular platform for digitizing manufacturing and maintenance processes. Its technical core is a universal data-harmonization layer that connects to any machine via OPC-UA, cleans and unifies data at the PLC level, and exposes it through ERP/MES/CMMS integrations (SAP, Infor, Oracle). Around this core the company offers OEE and condition monitoring, automatic downtime categorization, cycle and parts analysis, high-speed event-triggered camera analysis, a digital maintenance module with interactive 3D documentation, and — for machine builders — a white-label digital twin, interactive guides, dashboards, remote support, and AR-assisted service capabilities.
The company serves three vertical segments: serial-production manufacturers, automation providers and system integrators, and OEM machine builders. It sells primarily through a sales-led direct enterprise motion led by a named sales contact, with engagements structured as pilot projects followed by phased integration into existing shop-floor systems. Revenue is generated through subscription access to the platform, implementation and integration services, OEM white-label licensing, and OEM-facing service packages; pricing is custom and not publicly disclosed.
MAINWARE is co-founded in collaboration with JHV Group, the largest Czech industrial-automation system integrator, whose CEO is a co-founder and technical advisor and whose projects serve as an internal reference. The company reports roughly seven reference customers spanning two continents and cites outcomes including 30 million CZK in cost savings over five years at JHV and €1.2 million in value at a CNC machine-builder customer (TOS Hostivař), where MAINWARE underpins the SMARTOS global customer-support application.

MAINWARE product offering
Product offeringCore offering
MAINWARE provides a universal data harmonization layer and modular industrial software platform that unifies and cleans machine data at the PLC level via OPC-UA, enabling real-time OEE monitoring, machine commissioning acceleration, predictive maintenance, and digital twin capabilities. The platform is sold to manufacturing companies, automation system integrators, and OEM machine builders, and can be white-labeled for OEM delivery.
Product overview
MAINWARE is a single unified industrial software platform for manufacturing companies, system integrators, and machine builders. The core MAINWARE Platform provides machine commissioning acceleration, OEE monitoring, and production-line data harmonization via OPC-UA connectivity. It is offered as a modular platform with specialized capability modules: Condition Monitoring (real-time machine health and anomaly alerts), Digital Maintenance (task management, interactive guides, spare-parts and documentation), Camera Analysis (high-speed cameras at bottlenecks paired with monitoring data), OEE Monitoring (real-time dashboards and micro-downtime detection), Downtime Manager (automatic downtime categorization per station), Cycle Analysis (bottleneck identification and cycle-time distribution), Parts Tracking (traceability of individual parts and defect root-cause analysis), Digital Machine Profile / Digital Twin (online 3D models from STEP files with security controls), Interactive Guides (3D/manual instructions attached to machine profiles), Machine Dashboard (custom drag-and-drop widgets for machine metrics), Service Management (remote monitoring and service-contract management for OEMs), Remote Support (remote technical intervention), and Augmented Reality Support (AR overlays for assisted maintenance). The platform is white-labelable for OEM branding.

Products and services
- MAINWARE Platform
- Condition Monitoring Continuously monitors machine health, categorizes downtime (HW, SW, process, external), provides interactive troubleshooting manuals linked to incidents, computes MTBF and MTTR metrics, compares shifts, and links each incident to a complete data trail and digital documentation. For manufacturing companies.
- Digital Maintenance Manages all service activities in one place including reactive and planned maintenance, with task manager, problem reporting, interactive guides, spare parts lists, and complete interactive documentation (3D models, e-PLANs, drawings) that is connected and easily updatable.
- Camera Analysis Deploys high-speed cameras at bottlenecks and critical points that trigger on defined events (NOK parts, collisions, anomalies), records pre-incident and incident footage, auto-pairs with monitoring data, and provides visual evidence for fast debugging and central monitoring.
- OEE Monitoring Provides real-time dashboards, mobile alerts, and centralized monitoring covering availability, performance, and quality. Reveals micro-downtime, cycle-time distribution per station, cycle-stability statistics, and OEE without external factors for transparent machine handover.
- Downtime Manager Automatically identifies downtime at each production station, categorizes it, and provides summaries of causes to support systematic root-cause elimination and project transparency for system integrators.
- Cycle Analysis Identifies the slowest station with the greatest impact on overall OEE, reveals micro-downtimes, and provides cycle-time distribution and stability statistics per station to accelerate line optimization for one-purpose machines.
- Parts Tracking Tracks individual parts through the production process, identifies defective pieces immediately, and determines whether defects originate from mechanics, process parameters, or a faulty Work Piece Carrier (WPC), linked with camera recordings.
- Digital Machine Profile (Digital Twin) Creates a secure online 3D digital twin from STEP files (up to 1 GB); broken down to prevent reverse engineering, encrypted, with user-access controls. Enables online 3D models for collaborative maintenance planning, change simulation, and quick issue resolution for OEM machine builders.
- Interactive Guides Creates step-by-step operating, maintenance, and service instructions for machines. Supports 3D views with annotations and animations, or import of existing manuals, attached to the machine's digital profile.
- Machine Dashboard Custom drag-and-drop dashboards for individual machines displaying real-time metrics (productivity, downtime, part quality), with configurable widgets linked to status-monitoring data via OPC UA.
- Service Management Remote machine-status monitoring for OEMs enabling new revenue streams: service packages, spare-parts delivery, preventive maintenance contracts, and extended service agreements. Supports warranty compliance tracking.
- Remote Support Enables effective remote technical support including premium consulting services and remote interventions without physical dispatch of technicians, monetizing each support interaction.
- Augmented Reality (AR) Support Augmented reality overlay on mobile device camera when pointed at equipment, enabling faster component localization, assisted maintenance, paid remote training, and service packages.
- White-label OEM Solution Branded Plug'n'play OEM offering that allows machine builders to deliver MAINWARE's capabilities under their own brand with their machines, creating new recurring digital-service revenue streams through service packages, remote support, and spare-parts delivery.
