HEKA
What HEKA is
HEKA is a modular Manufacturing Operating System with MES capabilities, connecting work standards, production execution, performance management and continuous improvement. Manufacturers can create browser-based work instructions with photos, tools, parts, specifications and PPE. They can also record work at a station, divide footage into steps, add annotations and publish a controlled instruction. Instruction changes are versioned, reviewed and approved, with a signed audit trail. From the same source, instructions can be published for operator stations or as A4 sheets, supporting paper-based, hybrid and fully digital operations.
HEKA links approved methods and production bills of materials with work orders and operator instructions. It tracks availability, performance and quality by process, line and shift, with downtime and defects tied to their work context. Improvement tools include 5S audits, Kaizen actions and follow-up that can carry verified improvements into revised standards. The maker says it works with a small cohort of manufacturers and provides onboarding directly with its team. Pricing is scoped to the operation and pilot, with a quote after discussing the pilot rather than a fixed per-seat package. The page does not name integrations with existing systems.
