Made: manufacturing evidence / MEP Explorer

Explore an MTConnect Exchange Package

Discover what a .mep capture can tell you about execution activity, process preparation, production counts, and the evidence behind the data.

These basic summaries describe observed states. They do not establish machine uptime, operator setup time, OEE, or standards conformance. MEP remains an experimental exchange format.

Analyze your own .mep file

Your file is sent to an isolated server for this analysis. Raw files are deleted after processing; there is no saved result history. Uploaded results clear after 15 minutes or when you leave this page. Only upload data you are authorized to share for processing.

Uploads are currently disabled. You can still explore the approved examples above.

Compatibility and demo limits

MEP profile 1.0: 25 MiB uploaded, 100 MiB expanded, 2,000 archive entries, 100 devices, 10,000 data items, and 1 million observations. Metadata documents and rendered results are limited to 2 MiB, nested data to 64 levels, and text values to 16,384 characters. Provenance is limited to 256 display fields. Uploads have a 60-second deadline; processing has a 30-second deadline.

One analysis runs at a time. Anonymous requests are limited to five attempts per 15 minutes and 20 per day per IP address. Oversized or unsupported packages receive an explanation; data is not silently sampled. Model-only packages can show an inventory without time-based analytics.
