Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES)
What is a Manufacturing Execution System?
A Manufacturing Execution System (MES) is a comprehensive software system that monitors, tracks, and controls the manufacturing process from raw materials to finished goods. It serves as a functional layer between enterprise resource planning (ERP) and process control systems, providing decision-makers with the data needed to make the plant floor more efficient.
MES works in real-time to enable the control of multiple elements of the production process, bridging the gap between ERP/SAP systems and shop floor operations to support real-time decision-making and traceability.
Overcoming Industry Challenges
Modern manufacturing faces numerous challenges that impact efficiency and quality. Our MES solutions are designed to address these critical pain points head-on.
Lack of real-time visibility into production
Disconnected legacy systems and manual processes
Quality inconsistencies and high downtime
Difficulty in meeting regulatory compliance
Core Capabilities of MES
Production Management
Dispatching, scheduling, and tracking of production orders.
Quality Management
Ensures products meet quality standards through real-time monitoring and control.
Performance Monitoring
Analysis of OEE and downtime to identify areas for improvement.
Inventory Control
Real-time tracking of work-in-progress (WIP) and materials.
Traceability
Lot, batch, operator, and machine-level logging for complete genealogy.
Analytics & Reporting
Generation of KPIs and dashboards for informed decision-making.
Key Benefits of MES
Reduce downtime by up to 30%
Improve scrap/yield rates by 25%
Enable predictive maintenance
Ensure full traceability for audits
Faster, data-driven decision-making
Improve OEE and overall ROI
