Make actual production visible.
See work in progress, time and material consumption linked to your orders and operations.
Connect each record to the right work
MES connects planned work with records from the factory floor. Time, consumption and completion are linked to the relevant operation, order or series.
This makes execution easier to follow and individual orders easier to investigate. Recording methods are scoped around your workflows and equipment.
See where work needs attention
See what has started, finished or needs attention. MES brings work in progress, machine status and fault reports into the same overview.
Production managers can investigate delays and deviations in context. Access to machine data is aligned with the integrations established for your specific equipment.
Capture time and consumption during execution
Understand where labour time and materials are spent. MES brings time records per employee and operation together with actual material consumption and available machine data.
These records give you a concrete starting point for investigating differences between planned and completed work. Explanations draw on the events and causes recorded along the way.
Trace records back to planned work.
- Time
Employee and operation.
- Consumption
Materials used in production.
- Status and faults
Work progress and exceptions.
- Completion
The work that has been completed.
A basis for actual costing and follow-up.
Include faults and completion in the record
Give the next production stage a clear picture of work status. MES history distinguishes fault reports from completion records, keeping follow-up grounded in what actually happened.
Time records can also support piecework calculations. Agreed data is passed to your finance or payroll system, where payroll processing takes place.
Give actual costing a factual basis
MES records execution. Actual costing compares it with the estimate. Connecting orders, operations and records makes variances open to investigation by order or batch.
The result is useful to both production and management: where is the estimate accurate, and where do the assumptions or process deserve closer examination?
