The Value of Manufacturing Execution System (MES)

Boost Efficiency OEE

We help you achieve operational excellence through precise tracking and real-time monitoring of vital metrics with OEE tracking software. These metrics include Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), downtime occurrences, waste levels, production counts, Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF), Mean Time to Repair (MTTR), and beyond. We use these metrics to uncover root issues by analyzing each operational event with its underlying causes

Visibility with Dashboards

Dashboards and Scoreboards summarize and analyze data by context, allowing users to correlate events and reasons to production parameters effectively. With our Cloud MES software, you can utilize standard and ad-hoc reports and dashboards for real-time decisions. Our MES production software offers comprehensive visibility into the production process, providing detailed tracking and tracing capabilities for materials, products, and equipment. This visibility is crucial for regulatory compliance and effective supply chain management.

Reduce Waste

Drive efficiency and reduce waste by gaining clear visibility into data quality and staying informed about recall information using our OEE software solutions. Integrate quality data seamlessly with process data to empower operators, enabling them to make informed adjustments that prevent waste events and minimize errors. Our OEE monitoring software ensures minimal rework and giveaway, optimizing your operations for maximum productivity.

Improve Quality

MES Solutions improves product quality through real-time trends, statistics, and notifications. It integrates data from manual and automated sources, providing a single, centralized location for process, inspection, and test information. It also supports 21 CFR Part 11 compliance and allows for attaching operator comments, specifications, recipes, and procedure documents.

ERP Integration

Integrating Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) enhances overall efficiency by providing real-time insights into production processes. This connectivity is one of the most invaluable information sources for manufacturing companies of all sizes. Our survivability modules help you leverage a unified namespace architecture to streamline data flow and communication with real-time interfaces and platforms such as SAP MES, Microsoft, and Oracle.

Unify Your Data

We believe in working with a data modeling structure to unify your business data. Thus, we work with the ISA-95 framework as the reference for modeling Site, Area, Line, and Cell to Edge. Once this Unified Namespace architecture is in place, it provides a powerful way to access both structured and unstructured data, coupled with the power of MES production software for efficient data management and seamless integration across your manufacturing processes.
