MES
MES (Manufacturing Execution System) solutions gather production related data from numerous sources. These can be PLC’s (Programmable Logic Controls), sensors, employee input, hand-held devices and other software systems. Manufacturing Execution Systems are designed to manage and oversee quality parameters, supply real time information to machines and personnel needed to perform daily production activities, establish effective communication between machines and personnel within the production facility, as well as improving communication with suppliers, customers, engineers, sales and management.
Highly configurable systems are outpacing canned systems and providing a path for innovation. Advancements in browser based technology are enabling agile deployment strategies.
Manufacturing software helps manufacturers improve production performance by providing visable control and reporting across the enterprise.
The goal of an MES is to boost quality, improve consistency and increase productivity. A few benefits to having an MES are:
• Reducing manufacturing cycle times
• Improved visibility and tracking of production
• Improved traceability and genealogy of produced goods
• Improved quality and reduced defects
• Improving gross margins, cash flow
• Improved turn-around times
• Integration with ERP and existing processes
• Reduced inventory levels
• Improved inventory turnover
