The manufacturing information system, as a system, supports the purchasing, receiving, quality
control, inventory management, material requirements planning, capacity planning, production
scheduling, and plant design functions of manufacturing.
The main objective of an MES is to ensure the effective execution of manufacturing
operations and to improve production performance. It supports companies in achieving this
goal. This is achieved by collecting and processing accurate real-time data throughout the entire
production life cycle.
For example, the MES collects machine, operational, and process data
throughout the entire manufacturing process and informs the user as soon as
problems occur. This data, in turn, enables decision-makers to understand
current processes better and to optimize the production process sustainably.
Companies that want to control and optimize their production efficiently cannot
do without an MES. As a bridge between the operational corporate management
and the process control level, companies can directly compare data from the
ERP with real-time data from the production. This provides unprecedented
transparency in production. Added to this is the real-time insight into machines
and systems, which allows immediate intervention in problem situations or the
event of malfunctions.
In addition to these core functions, and MES helps companies meet the
enormous challenges of meeting the regulations and guidelines of various
industries such as the pharmaceutical industry or the aerospace industry, for
example, by tracking products.
