An MES operates as a central system that integrates with Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and Edge Devices to gather, process and analyse data from a variety of sources. The integration of MES software with hardware devices, software applications and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems enhances quality, improves efficiency, increases flexibility and facilitates better decision-making based on real-time information.
By analysing machine availability, performance and quality data (including operator and shift information), an MES highlights areas for improvement.
Real-time MES monitoring tracks the status of equipment and uses predictive analytics to identify potential maintenance issues before breakdowns occur.
An MES tracks inventory levels in real time throughout the production process, triggering auto-replenishments and reducing waste through over-ordering or expiration of materials.
Materials and products are completely traceable across all phases of production.

Get in touch to schedule a discovery call with us where we can discuss the unique needs and challenges your business
Typically, manufacturers who have considered or investigated SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems, Quality/Inventory Management Systems or IoT (Internet of Things) are at a business maturity level consistent with the deployment of an MES.
The first step is to ensure that you have a detailed understanding of the flow of information from the device to the enterprise level. We are able to assist you to configure each machine and line within your site as a workstation that is compatible with an MES.
