A Manufacturing Execution System (MES) is a computerized system that acts as an interface between the shop floor and enterprise systems. It provides visibility into every aspect of production, from raw materials sourcing to delivery of finished products. MES enables real-time decision making by gathering data on production processes and analyzing it. This helps streamline operations and optimize workflow, resulting in increased efficiency, improved quality and higher productivity. With MES, manufacturers can identify potential problems, simulate different scenarios and run better operations with greater control.
