Introduction to MES
MES (Manufacturing Execution System) production control system
MES (Manufacturing Execution System) is a software solution that allows you to digitally integrate, implement and monitor production processes in real time.
This software digitizes these production processes and makes it possible to plan, manage and execute these processes with an intuitive graphical interface.
All data (time, resources, materials) from the production processes are combined for an integrated view of the manufacturing processes.
It allows to plan all the activities required to manufacture each part, with integration of resources (operational departments, CNC machines, warehouse management).
It allows a very accurate view of all costs and all schedules, detailed for each part produced depending on the resource (department, CNC machines).
From ERP to digital production!!

MES enables:
Real-time management of all resources (operators, machines, software, raw materials, tools, etc.) used to produce the products
Definition of parts and processes
Plan orders and create appropriate schedules for all order-related activities
Increased production efficiency and traceability of parts and processes
Shortening of production times with a consistent reduction in production costs
Real-time monitoring with PCamMonitor
MES manages, monitors and controls the execution of all workflows (processes) for processing all parts of the complete mold.
MES realizes the complete and consistent digitalization of the company’s production process. (Industry 4.0).
This is done by integrating all workstations into the network.
All resources necessary for production are connected:
Human resources via connected devices (PC in the network)
CNC, PLC machines, and workstations
Software CAD, CAM, ERP, PPS
Materials required to make the product
Consumables (tools) required by production machines
Production flow based on the different steps required for production
Before: Existing tools and data, but scattered across different PCs and workstations. Various formats (Excel, Word, Outlook, Dynamics)
Then: Access the tools and resources you need to manage production on any device, from any location. Switch from Excel spreadsheets and Word text documents to true digitization. A few hours to set it up, just a few days to start seeing results.
Real-time overview and detailed visualization of production workflows and processes
Access to data from all resources
Complete real-time management of all company resources

MES advantages and benefits
Significantly increase delivery time compliance through fast and reliable order creation by eliminating workflow interruptions
Significant time savings by eliminating unnecessary and time-consuming searches for materials, parts and tools thanks to digital warehouse management
Significant increase in machine availability through optimized work processes
Increased cost efficiency and adherence to deadlines, as machine crashes due to incorrect data entry are almost completely eliminated from the system
Noticeable improvement in order planning
Noticeable improvement in offerings through simplified cost calculation
Increase machine runtimes with true digital twin tool management based on tool life
Increased productivity through targeted and safe interventions in CNC programs through the system (automated processing, pallet zero point conversion, etc…)
Optimization of order processing through the integration of simulation systems
Increased process reliability through precise assignment of NC programs to work steps and reading out tool data
Reduce setup times by previewing tools you’ll need soon
More efficiency through optimized use of resources thanks to maximum data transparency for each individual resource
Improved costing by assigning the cost of each resource used for contract manufacturing
Improved quality management through enormous data transparency
Noticeable increase in efficiency and employee satisfaction through clear process structures and task distribution, even with short-term planning changes
Increased employee efficiency as one employee can operate multiple machines at the same time
