Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) Services

Modern manufacturing operations increasingly utilise a Manufacturing Execution System (MES), to optimise, manage and control their production processes on the shop floor. An MES serves to digitise the manufacturing process by synchronising real-time data — from the intake of raw materials right through to the delivery of intermediate or finished products.

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.

A Manufacturing Execution System can significantly boost your bottom line by streamlining workflows, reducing downtime, and minimising waste. Your business can do more with less, improving your profitability and competitiveness.

Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)

By analysing machine availability, performance and quality data (including operator and shift information), an MES highlights areas for improvement.

Preventative maintenance

Real-time MES monitoring tracks the status of equipment and uses predictive analytics to identify potential maintenance issues before breakdowns occur.

Optimised inventory management

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.

Compliance and quality assurance

Materials and products are completely traceable across all phases of production.

How we work — Leading MES software vendors provide robust and scalable capabilities built on a modular architecture — manufacturers are able to pick and choose from a variety of functional modules based on their specific needs. We provide services to assist you to scope and deploy this technology.

Frequently Asked Questions

Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES)

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
