What is MES?
MES or Manufacturing Execution Systems is an integrated set of software that couples the planning systems in the office with the direct industrial controls at the process itself. The fully integrated MES Integrated Enterprise model consists of three levels:
- Planning: the front office/accounting/financial systems.
- Execution: the factory level coordinating /trending/tracking systems.
- Control: the factory floor/process control systems.
The key functions provided by MES are:
- Scheduling Resource Allocation
|
|
- Dispatching Maintenance Management
|
- Product Tracking & History
|
- Product Traceability & Geneology
|
|
- Data Acquisition Operations Analysis
|
- Quality Management Process Management
|
