Level 3 (MES)

The Manufacturing Execution System - or MES - is the IT system used to manage the entire manufacturing operations across your factory.

The MES integrates data from Level 1 and Level 2 systems to build a comprehensive real-time view of the factory that can be used to control and monitor operations. Implementing a CTI System MES results significant gains, including:

• Cost control: lower setup times and minimal downtime thanks to the identification of weak points
• Quality assurance: access to production data to detect and correct errors, identify improvement opportunities, and reduce the number of defective products
• Productivity: real-time supervision of operations to monitor production speed, spot bottlenecks and sub-optimal use of machinery, and identity areas for improvement
• Customer satisfaction: more opportunities to fine-tune production to customer requirements

What can you expect from our MES?
