MES Operations
Real-time Manufacturing Execution Management

Efficiently and reliably manage and document the transformation of materials into
finished products. Increase plant productivity and secure quality through the digital
transformation of work order and job execution processes. Empower operators with the
right information anytime and anywhere, and enforce process and product specifications
and capture all manufacturing execution and material flow information for detailed
product genealogy and material traceability.

02 MES Operations
Labor Tracking and Certification Management
The software tracks operators logged into jobs and
captures time and duration on machines, which allows
accounting of labor costs attached to work order
execution by an operator or groups of operators. Jobs
can be restricted to operators with valid certificates of
necessary qualifications to run the job.

Process Modeling

an higher level of automation and team collaboration
and keeps the workforce connected with mission-critical
processes througth a digital and mobile user experience.
Preconfigured and adaptable workflows and related
user interface forms for standard MES activities are
offered to get MES solutions defined, deployed and
running faster.

The process model allows defining and linking the

the data capture requirements for each operation or
step within a process. An ‘operation’ defines a task to
produce an intermediate or finished product, including
the raw materials or intermediate products consumed,
any by-products produced, the equipment used to
complete the task, data collection, sequence of steps
and labor and machine time estimates.
