Our digitalized production workflows reduce error rates and increase your quality and on-time delivery. Digitally guided quality checks and maintenance procedures promote immediate corrective action.
Improve Quality
Greater process reliability increases productivity
Optimize Resources
Better planning increases machine utilization
Our complete production and machine data acquisition creates transparency for efficient production planning and control. With meaningful KPIs and precise analyses, we strengthen your strategic and operational decision-making.
Reduce Complexity
Less effort thanks to paperless manufacturing
Digitalized processes replace time-consuming routine tasks and simplify existing system landscapes. At the same time, real-time digital data supports your shop-floor management and strengthens collaboration between departments.
Why a Manufacturing
Execution System (MES)?
MES – The Essential Complement to ERP
ERP systems often lack the level of detail needed for production tasks and are not user-friendly enough. They cannot adequately process events such as machine starts and stops, interruptions, and quality reports. MES systems, on the other hand, enable timely planning and control of all manufacturing processes and provide an up-to-date picture of the flow of materials and information within the supply chain.
MES – The Foundation for Connected Manufacturing
MES solutions enable a seamless flow of information between the enterprise level and the automation level. Costly interfaces between the shop floor and ERP are no longer needed. An MES forms the basis for fully connected production in line with Industry 4.0 concepts. Real-time transparency, central data management, and decentralized intelligence are key aspects that an MES offers for the smart factory of the future.
MES – A Building Block of the Value Chain
MES solutions ensure greater process efficiency, greater sustainability in the use of resources and energy, and more product innovation. Thanks to their interoperability, they are a key building block in the end-to-end value chain, from the shop floor through the enterprise level to the customers.
