IMTS 2026 · Chicago · Limited meeting slots

Industrial service
has tools.
It's been missing
infrastructure.

Transaction-Network is the shared infrastructure layer connecting OEMs, operators, and suppliers - around every machine.

See it live on United Machining Solutions machines - Booth #236802, North Building Level 3.

One shared layer. Every machine.

The Problem

$260K

average cost per hour of unplanned downtime

Industry benchmark

10+

separate OEM portals on a typical shop floor

Each one an island

shared systems connecting OEMs, operators and suppliers

Until now

Infrastructure changes everything

Same companies. Different infrastructure.

Before

10+ isolated portals. No shared layer.

After

TRANSACTION-NETWORK

One infrastructure. All parties connected.

A new category

Not another tool.

Transaction-Network is the layer underneath all of them.

Why now

Four forces that make this the right moment.

Workforce shortage

Experienced technicians are retiring faster than they can be replaced. Every service event needs to be documented, transferable, and machine-linked.

Zero downtime tolerance

Modern production lines run at margins that make unplanned downtime existential. Reactive service is no longer an option.

Machine complexity

A single production line may have 8 different OEM brands. No single vendor can own the service layer for all of them.

AI is operational

AI-driven maintenance is ready - but only if the underlying data is structured, connected, and shared. That requires infrastructure, not another app.

"Email gave messaging a shared infrastructure.TCP/IP gave networks a shared infrastructure.Industrial service has never had one.
Until now."

Founder story

Gerd Bart

Founder & CEO, Transaction-Network

For 8 years we built portals for OEMs. They worked well - for the OEM. But the operator still had 10 portals to manage. In 2021 we stopped building islands. We built the infrastructure underneath them. Come see it at IMTS.
On-site all 6 days. Direct conversation.
Live demo on real machine data.
30 min. You leave with a clear answer.

A Manifesto · Industrial Service

Service doesn't work today.
Built wrong, not badly worked.

Not the people. The system. One more portal won't fix it. This manifesto explains why industrial service is structurally broken - and what the shift from reacting to executing actually requires.

Machine-first

What you get

30 minutes. Three things happen.

No slides. No pitch. Just substance.

01

Live walk-through

See Transaction-Network running on real United Machining Solutions machines. Not a demo environment.

02

Service stack assessment

5 questions about your current setup. You get an honest read on where the gaps are and what connecting them would mean for your operation.

03

Clear answer

You leave knowing whether Transaction-Network fits your situation. If it doesn't fit, Gerd will tell you that too.

Gerd runs every meeting personally. That's a hard limit of ~6 slots per day across the show.

Once they're booked, they're gone. Gerd is on-site all 6 days - no delegation, no sales team.
