What is an MES System?

A Manufacturing Execution System (MES) is a software solution designed to monitor, control, and optimize production processes in real time. Acting as the interface between ERP systems and the shop floor, an MES ensures a continuous flow of information by capturing, analyzing, and providing production orders, machine statuses, and operational data as a reliable basis for decision-making.

An MES system helps manufacturers stabilize processes, respond more quickly to deviations, and implement measurable improvements across their operations.

Benefits of an MES System?

Greater shop floor transparency through real-time data

Improved production planning with accurate operational data and reliable feedback

Reduced machine downtime through early detection and maintenance processes

Increased OEE through better data quality and continuous process optimization

Secure handling of sensitive production data through role-based access control

Industry 4.0 and Smart Factory readiness through the integration of people, machines, and systems

ODC

ODC refers to the collection and analysis of production information. With specialized reporting and analysis tools, tailor-made analyses can be carried out. In addition, current data and objectives can be automatically entered into existing ERP systems.

Learn more

KPI – Key Performance Indicator

KPIs include identifying and visualizing key performance indicators. They are available via large dashboards in manufacturing, directly at work, or on a tablet and smartphone on the go, so that information about ongoing production or past performance is always at hand.

Learn more

MPC

MPC is a visual production monitoring and control that supports the planning of machines, systems, workstations and other relevant units in your production. Optimization tailored to your needs ensures maximum utilization.

Learn more

TRA – Tracking & Tracing

TRA refers to the tracking and tracing of materials before and after each production step. It includes the administration and tracking of transport units, the handling of serial and batch numbers, and the automatic allocation of process and quality-relevant data.

Learn more

TM

TM, the tool management system, stands for efficient planning and optimized maintenance as well as preventive servicing of all tools and resources in production. It ensures the longevity and performance of production equipment and supports a sustainable production environment.

Learn more

QM – Quality Management

In quality management, QM is crucial for managing quality-relevant production data. It provides fundamental data from test plans and serves as an active link to meet quality requirements between personnel, machines, systems and tools.

Learn more

PDC

PDC monitors process data such as pressure, temperature, and energy consumption to ensure transparency. It enables immediate adjustments in the production process in the event of deviations or tolerances being exceeded in order to avoid waste and failures.

Learn more

Web dashboard

The web dashboard provides a clear overview of key machine and operating data through pre-summarized key figures, always up to date. Employees can access important information such as key figures, KPIs and fault reports from production via the web, regardless of time and place.

Learn more

EMG – Energy Management

EMG follows the ISO 50 001 standard, which aims to continuously improve energy efficiency in organizations. Effective planning of operating times for machines and systems helps to avoid high costs due to peak energy consumption loads.

Learn more

T&A

T&A, the platform for time recording, makes it easy to record, process and visualize employee attendance and absence times. It supports efficient personnel planning and administration through transparent time data.

Learn more

T&ODC – Time & Operational Data Collection

T&ODC simplifies the recording, processing and presentation of employee attendances and absences. This data is integrated directly into payslips and supports the calculation of process costs and service prices.

Learn more

T&ODC WebClient 3.0

T&ODC WebClient 3.0 enables the mobile recording and display of working times and orders in the browser. Users can access personal information, including flexitime, vacation statistics and absence overview, in popular browsers such as Chrome and Firefox.

MES System – How a Successful Project Works

Our experts guide you through every stage of your MES system project – from the initial process analysis to stable day-to-day operation. This ensures that the implementation of your Manufacturing Execution System remains structured, transparent, and sustainably successful.

Analysis of existing production processes and data flows

In this phase, the existing system landscape, processes and data flows are recorded in detail. The aim is to develop a clear definition of objectives and to identify initial weak points and potential.

Definition of goals, priorities, and MES system requirements

This determines which migration strategy is to be used — such as a gradual replacement or parallel operation. Risks are assessed, resources are allocated and a realistic schedule is created.

Step-by-step implementation of the required MES modules

Technical and organizational project planning is carried out on the basis of the defined strategy. Interfaces are defined, data migration is prepared and concrete implementation measures are coordinated.

Integration with existing ERP and IT systems

In this critical phase, the new MES modules are gradually being put into operation. Particular attention is paid to stability, user support and short-term responsiveness in operation.

Employee training and go-live support

After successful start-up, the system goes into stable operation. Support, monitoring and continuous development ensure the sustainable success of the migration.

Continuous optimization during operation

Nach erfolgreicher Inbetriebnahme geht das System in den stabilen Betrieb über. Support, Monitoring und kontinuierliche Weiterentwicklung sichern den nachhaltigen Erfolg der Migration.

An MES ensures:

  • Real-time production monitoring
  • Fewer machine downtimes due to predictive maintenance
  • Higher product quality through continuous process control
  • Better use of resources and lower production costs
  • Automated documentation for compliance with standards and norms
Strategic and operational project planning

Technical and organizational project planning is carried out on the basis of the defined strategy. Interfaces are defined, data migration is prepared and concrete implementation measures are coordinated.

Go-live MES modules

In this critical phase, the new MES modules are gradually being put into operation. Particular attention is paid to stability, user support and short-term responsiveness in operation.
