MES systems

The Path to Data Collection and Processing

Definition: MES (Manufacturing Execution System) is an integrated software system that collects real-time data from production processes on the factory floor, tracks and controls these processes, and optimizes production to increase efficiency and quality. It connects the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system with factory machinery and workers, enabling full visibility and control of the entire manufacturing process—from order intake to finished product.

Role and Importance: Due to the complexity of modern manufacturing processes and the rapid changes in market demands, manufacturing companies must be able to monitor and optimize their operations in real time. They must also be able to increase efficiency and scale production using various analytical and predictive methods. In this dynamic environment, the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) has become an essential tool, serving as a bridge between the ERP system and the shop floor. MES ensures that production data is accessible to ERP systems. It is specifically designed to analyze and manage production-related data. MES solutions enable manufacturers to enhance production efficiency, improve product quality, reduce costs, and increase flexibility—while simultaneously improving communication with customers and adapting more effectively to market demands and ongoing development.
