Mespack, a leading international manufacturer of innovative and sustainable flexible and turnkey packaging solutions, expands its digital portfolio with the launch of MESCADA. This new software, within the Athena digital platform, is designed to provide factory‑level visibility and control of packaging lines. It integrates both Mespack turnkey solutions and third‑party equipment.
Thus far, Mespack’s Athena platform has facilitated advanced machine control, data acquisition, and machine level performance optimization. With the introduction of MESCADA, Mespack takes a decisive step forward by extending this intelligence beyond individual machines, hence allowing customers to monitor, analyze, and optimize all packaging lines across the factory from a single platform.
From Machine Control to Line and Factory Intelligence
Athena remains the core digital platform for Mespack machines, unifying control, data, and advanced analytics at machine level. Additionally, it empowers operators and supervisors to maximize equipment performance. MESCADA expands this foundation by aggregating and contextualizing data from multiple machines and lines; it is then transformed into actionable insights at line and plant levels. Designed as a modular and scalable platform, MESCADA enables real‑time monitoring of key performance indicators such as OEE, production output, downtime causes, and reject reasons. It provides a complete and unified view of overall line performance.
One Platform to Monitor, Analyze, and Optimize Packaging Lines
MESCADA has been developed to support continuous improvement initiatives by combining real‑time dashboards, customizable reporting, and preventive maintenance tools. Centralized batch and recipe management ensure full traceability and standardized process configuration, while integration capabilities allow seamless connectivity with ERP, MES, and CMMS systems. By consolidating production data across the factory, MESCADA eliminates manual analysis, reduces reaction times, and enables data‑driven decision‑making at every operational level.
Agentic AI to Support Operators and Improve Performance
A key differentiator of MESCADA is its agentic AI layer, which is designed to comprehend the production context and actively support users during their daily operations. Intelligent agents can guide operators in resolving incidents, analyze performance data to suggest efficiency improvements, and provide fast access to documentation, spare parts information or configuration parameters. This approach transforms the software from a passive monitoring tool into an active digital assistant, thus helping teams react faster, reduce downtime, and continuously improve line performance.
A Strategic Step in Mespack’s Digital Vision
According to Adrián Mora, Athena & MESCADA Product Owner at Mespack: “With MESCADA, we are extending Mespack’s digital vision from the machine to the entire factory. Athena continues to be the intelligence at machine level, while MESCADA connects all packaging lines and turns production data into actionable insights. Together, they create a unified digital ecosystem that helps our customers operate more efficiently, make better decisions, and fully leverage the value of their packaging lines.”
With the launch of MESCADA, Mespack reinforces its commitment to delivering intelligent, connected, and future‑ready packaging solutions. Visitors to Interpack are invited to discover the combined power of MESCADA and Athena live at the Mespack booth (Hall 6, Booth B73), where the digital ecosystem will be demonstrated in real operating conditions. https://mespack.com/interpack-experience-innovation/
