MES (Manufacturing Execution System)

Manufacturing Execution System

System that manages and records execution of manufacturing operations between ERP planning and shop-floor control.

Examples

  1. 01The MES shows each operator the right work instruction and records serial numbers, torque values and test results for every unit.
  2. 02Before the MES goes live, the team defines its interfaces with the ERP for orders and with the machines for counts, torque values and alarms.
  3. 03When a faulty batch of screws is found, MES data traces within minutes which 320 units were built with it and where they are now.
