A cement plant that learns from its own data
MAC Suite is 15 connected modules from MACPROTEC Engineering that share one model of your plant. They simulate, balance, detect, explain and advise, and they run fully on site. Each module also works on its own, so you can start with one and add more.
Fifteen modules on one data foundation
Every module reads from MACDATA, so they share the same history and the same numbers. Select a module to see its details.

Engineering rules every module follows
MACDATA reads the DCS read-only and cannot write. MACTUNE, MACREL and MACLOGIC never write to a control system. MACPILOT is the only writer.
Every signal is a witness and physics is the judge. Results carry their ± uncertainty, causes come with their evidence, and every figure in the morning brief traces back to its source.
MACPILOT starts in advisory mode before making bounded setpoint moves, with a watchdog and an operator off switch. MACTUNE only recommends settings, and an engineer types them in.
MAC Suite runs fully on site, AI included. MACPIA works on a workstation in the plant with no cloud connection, and MACDATA keeps years of history on one small PC.
The complete MAC Suite
Start from the problem on your plant
Pick what your team is dealing with and we'll point you to the right part of the suite.
From your DCS to a plant that learns
The suite is delivered by the same MACPROTEC engineers who run our process simulation, commissioning and optimization work.
Connect the data
MACDATA reads the DCS over read-only OPC UA, along with LIMS, CEMS, silos, weighbridge and SAP.
Calibrate the model
MACSIM is calibrated to your plant's own history, so what-if studies behave like your equipment does.
Add the modules you need
Start where it hurts most, whether that's stock, quality, lining, hydraulics, loops or interlocks, and add more on the same data.
Advise, then act
Modules advise first. Control moves come only after they have been proven on MACSIM and your team trusts them.

Questions plants ask us
Does MAC Suite write to our DCS?
MACDATA reads the DCS read-only, and its collectors are built so they cannot write. MACTUNE, MACREL, MACLOGIC and MACTRACE are read-only too. MACPILOT is the only module that moves setpoints. It starts in advisory mode, makes only bounded moves, explains every move, and has a watchdog and an operator off switch.
Does our plant data leave site?
MACPIA, the AI assistant, runs on a workstation inside the plant with no cloud connection. MACDATA keeps years of history on one small PC on site.
Do we have to buy every module?
No. MACDATA is the foundation, and you add the modules that solve your biggest problem first. Each new module uses the same history, so the suite gets more useful as it grows.
Which modules can we use today?
All of them. Every MAC Suite module is available now. MACSIM is in service as an operator training simulator, MACTRACE version 0.1 is released, and MACLAB version 0.6 is ready for a quality study. A good first step is one read-only study on your own data: no installation and nothing written to your control system. We replay your history and show what the suite would have found.
Can you train our people too?
Yes. We deliver corporate, plant-specific, online and on-site training through CementX LMS, and MACSIM is built for operator training.
