ShopFloorConnect

What ShopFloorConnect does

ShopFloorConnect is a production tracking and asset utilization software platform sold by Wintriss Controls Group LLC to mid-to-enterprise manufacturers, headquartered at 100 Discovery Way, Acton, Massachusetts. The platform combines cloud-connected software with on-machine hardware — the wireless SFC Tracker, the SMI 2 machine interface, and the SmartPAC PRO/SmartPAC 2 modules — to automatically capture real-time shop floor data including run time, idle time, production counts, production rate, uptime efficiency, temperature, pressure, and humidity, eliminating the untimeliness, inaccuracy, and bias associated with manual data entry. Core software capabilities include OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) monitoring, the Factory Viewer for browser- and mobile-based real-time displays, a configurable production reporting interface with automated delivery, and programmable text/email alerts tied to machine conditions.

The company runs a dual go-to-market: a sales-led motion targeting enterprise manufacturers via scheduled demos and custom quotes, complemented by a direct e-commerce storefront (wintriss.store) where the SFC Tracker can be purchased online — explicitly positioned as the most economical entry point for automated data collection. Pricing for the software subscription is not publicly disclosed, requiring sales engagement, while hardware is sold per unit on a pay-as-you-go basis. Marketing is multi-channel: a website content hub (news, success stories, downloads, events), social media on LinkedIn/Facebook/YouTube, an email newsletter, and earned-media placements in industry publications including Fab Shop Magazine and Today's Medical Developments. Named customers include a premier Texas stamping company and an enterprise medical device manufacturer, with roughly 54 client logos displayed on the homepage, and a stated ROI of 3–6 months payback through production efficiency improvements.

ShopFloorConnect is a private LLC with no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no public headcount figures. Its operating geography is the United States. The product is positioned as a vertically-specialized manufacturing-execution tool rather than a horizontal analytics platform, with revenue mechanics spanning recurring software subscriptions and one-time hardware sales tied to machine count and facility size.
