MESMES software · Production management

Production progress and traceability, in real time

Every order, phase, batch and operator under control. materialSUITE® MES bridges the gap between ERP and shopfloor.

Real-time order progress
Key features

Everything happening on the shopfloor, as it happens

Operators declare WIP and finished goods from touch terminals; supervisors see completion and delays.

From raw material to finished product: every batch linked to order, phase, machine and operator.

Actual machine and labour times compared with estimates, for every order.

Checks, non-conformities and scrap recorded during processing, not at the end of the shift.

Orders, BOMs and routings come from the ERP; progress and consumption flow back.

Real-time order progress
  • Job status updated by the minute
  • Bottlenecks highlighted
  • Delivery under control
Why adopt it

Why a MES in your company

Paper and spreadsheets can't tell you what's happening now. A MES can.

01

Less scrap and downtime

Continuous parameter monitoring and prompt action on anomalies and deviations.

02

Higher OEE

Precise availability, performance and quality data to improve plant efficiency.

03

On-time delivery

Delays spotted immediately, jobs rescheduled before they become a problem.

04

Paperless shopfloor

No more manual transcription, errors and duplicated data.

MES in practice: from shopfloor to ERP

What MES software does, phase by phase

The ERP knows what to produce, the shopfloor knows what is happening: the MES connects the two. It receives orders, BOMs and routings, takes them to shopfloor terminals and collects progress, declared quantities, scrap and times in real time.

The result is an always up-to-date picture of production that doesn't depend on end-of-shift transcription or parallel spreadsheets.

Traceability and product genealogy

Every finished batch stays linked to the raw materials used, the order, phase, machine and operator. With barcodes or RFID, traceability is built while you work, not afterwards.

When a recall or audit check is needed, reconstruction takes a few clicks instead of days of searching.

Actual costs and better quotes

Actual machine and labour times are compared with estimates for every job. Deviations surface immediately and historical data becomes the basis for the next quote.

With materialBOX® machine connectivity and MTM time capture, final costing becomes automatic.

FAQ

Everything you want to know about MES

A MES (Manufacturing Execution System) manages and monitors production in real time: it tracks order progress phase by phase, records times and downtime, manages quality and scrap, and links operators and materials to jobs.
