MES software – essential for efficient process automation.
MES SOFTWARE
Industry 4.0 revolves around the integration of machines and production data. Within this context, MES (Manufacturing Execution System) is an essential part of efficient process automation. Due to regulations and retailer requirements, the demands on food production are becoming increasingly higher.
Why MES software?
Optimal integration between business and production processes
MES software enables a production company to control and monitor production activities.
It is basically intended to make all necessary production information available on the production floor and then measure in real time what is happening during the production of that order.
The system is linked to various other systems and in this way ensures extensive integration between business processes and production processes.
MES software is therefore the IT platform in the factory from which Production execution, Tracking & Tracing, quality management and continuous improvement can be implemented.

Optimal integration between business and production processes
Due to regulations and retailer requirements, , the demands on food production are becoming increasingly higher.
Of course, your organization will meet them. But at what cost? There is always a solution: extra forms, yet another new spreadsheet or perhaps a stand-alone control or registration system. But does it remain manageable?
How do you prevent yourself from getting stuck with the next new requirement, how do you ensure that the information can be found quickly, that your organization remains “lean” and that costs will remain low?
There comes a point at which it is necessary to look at integrated IT solutions. An IT solution that has been used increasingly successfully in recent years is the Manufacturing Execution System.
The functionalities of a
Manufacturing Execution System.
A MES application consists of various functional modules that are configured based on the needs. These needs (or requirements) should ideally be defined before the MES is implemented and stem from the Production IT strategy.
