MES
Manufacturing Execution System
Manufacturing Execution Systems, commonly referred to as MES are structures designed to track the manufacturing process from raw material to finished goods.
In manufacturing, profit is reliant on how efficiently the shop-floor or plant floor is performing
Squeezing everything from your resources without compromising on quality is a challenge often faced by manufacturers.
Increasingly, manufacturers of all sizes and complexity are implementing a Manufacturing Execution System, also known as an MES system, as a reliable and affordable way of improving their productivity and profitability whilst delivering first rate products on time to their customers’ system.
You can improve your productivity
Our MES software as a service (SaaS) offering makes streamlining your processes simple and even more affordable compared to a more traditional MES system.
MES is key to successful implementation of manufacturing operations and improved production efficiency
The Intouch MES Software gives users accurate, real-time data that allows for the right questions to be asked at the right time.
This enables well-informed and timely continuous improvement manufacturing operational decisions to be made which result in significant improvements in OEE and profitability. The visibility it provides also motivates production staff to keep machines operational.
Our MES system is made up of multiple modules, including production monitoring, production planning, and scheduling, production reporting and analytics, and the shop floor control system.
Connect and monitors machines and work centres on your factory floor
Running a factory is complex – full of machines of varying ages, many processes, materials, labour, factory conditions, last minute orders and unexpected downtime.
Knowing what is going on in your factory and how you can make operations run more efficiently and more profitably has historically been difficult as managers relied on inaccurate and time-consuming manually compiled paper records to make decisions – often well after the chance of being able to make any effective changes or rectify any problems.
With the Intouch system, knowing what is happening and looking at existing processes and finding ways of making these more efficient and cost-effective is easy and ultimately leads to a more profitable business.
The mechanism that collects accurate data and standardises current systems allows for proactive continuous improvement decisions to be made before they become costly and problematic.
The Intouch real-time scheduling, monitoring and reporting system gives manufacturers the visibility and control to easily make continuous improvement decisions; allowing you to improve OEE and increase productivity, reduce errors and improve quality whilst reducing lead times, energy and labour.
