Why Does My Operation Need an MES?

Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) Make Smart Manufacturing a Reality

  • Why You Need MES
  • Get Started with MES
  • MES Versus ERP
  • MES in the IIoT

You know that workplaces are changing, and workforces are too. And we know that you need intelligent, individualized, scalable solutions to keep up – and get ahead.

An MES gives you the ability to manage workflows and generate valuable production data that can make your operations more efficient, productive and responsive. Your team can harness that power to not only resolve production issues in the short term, but also transform them into operational advantages in the long term.

Do You Hear this in Your Plant?

Be Agile

We need more responsive plants.

 

Think Big

We will operate as a global network.

Strategize

We will move volume to lower-cost locations.

 

Keep Growing

We will outsource components to co-manufacturers.

 

Cut Excess

We need to reduce excess capacity.

Be Efficient

We need to conserve capital and will produce products closer to market.

Streamline

We will consolidate like-products by area or region.

 

Re-evaluate

We will be evaluating best practices globally.

 

How MES Can Help You

Achieve operational excellenceOptimize throughput and improve asset efficiency. With it, you can more adeptly manage materials, machinery efficiency, energy and people.
 
Improve supply chain effectivenessCollect production data in context, and quickly and easily recognize deviations from performance targets to understand the root causes of operational issues.
 
Comply with regulations and trading partner reporting requirementsTake control of your vendor compliance, product safety, genealogy and traceability with better reporting and documentation.
 
Meet sustainability goalsYou can gain control of resources and drive equipment improvements with a greater understanding of the effect of production on water, air, gas, electricity and steam use.
