Overview

Manufacturing Execution System Software for Connected Production

Manufacturing becomes difficult to control when production plans, material movements, machine updates, quality records and finished-goods information are maintained in different spreadsheets or disconnected systems. Production managers may know what needs to be manufactured but still struggle to answer basic operational questions.

Which production orders are currently running?
How much quantity has been completed?
Where is each job in the production process?
Which materials have already been consumed?
What quantity is still work in progress?
Are production targets being achieved?
Which batch of raw material went into a product?
What is today's output, rejection or downtime?

ERPLax provides a customizable MES system that brings these activities into a connected digital workflow. Production information can move from planning to execution, quality, inventory and reporting without repeatedly entering the same information into multiple systems.

What is it

What Is Manufacturing Execution System Software?

A Manufacturing Execution System (MES) is software used to manage, monitor and record manufacturing activities taking place on the shop floor. ERP typically manages broader business processes such as sales orders, purchase, inventory, accounts and production planning, while MES focuses more closely on the actual execution of production.

For example, your ERP may determine that 5,000 units need to be manufactured. The MES can then help manage how that production order moves through machines, work centres, operators, materials, production stages, quality checks and final completion. A manufacturing execution system creates better visibility between the production plan and what is actually happening on the factory floor. With ERPLax, MES functionality can also be connected with manufacturing ERP, inventory, purchasing, sales, warehouse and reporting modules according to your requirements.

ERP + MES

Manufacturing ERP and MES Integration

Manufacturing ERP and MES perform different but closely connected roles. ERP handles the broader business cycle — sales, purchase, inventory, finance, customer management, supplier management, planning, billing and business reporting. MES focuses on executing and monitoring what happens during manufacturing. Connecting both systems creates a continuous workflow.

Customer Order

Initial demand captured.

Production Requirement

Requirement determined.

Material Planning

Materials identified.

Production Order

Order generated.

Work Orders

Broken into operations.

Material Issue

Materials released.

Shop-Floor Production

Execution recorded.

Quality Inspection

Checks performed.

Finished-Goods Receipt

Output confirmed.

Inventory Update

Stock updated.

Dispatch

Goods shipped.

Management Reporting

Performance reviewed.

ERPLax can build MES functionality as part of a connected manufacturing ERP environment or integrate with other required applications through APIs depending on the project scope.

Integrations

Deployment

Cloud-Based or On-Premise MES Software

Different manufacturing companies have different infrastructure, security and operational requirements. ERPLax can provide deployment based on the project requirement.

Cloud MES Software

Convenient access for authorized teams across locations and centralized management of manufacturing information.

On-Premise MES

Companies with specific internal infrastructure or deployment requirements can discuss an on-premise implementation.

Hybrid & Integration Requirements

Where manufacturing equipment or local plant systems must interact with centralized business applications, ERPLax can assess the required integration architecture as part of solution planning.

Custom Fit

Custom MES Software Based on Your Manufacturing Workflow

Manufacturing processes differ significantly between factories. A fabrication company does not execute production in the same way as an electronics assembler, food manufacturer or batch-processing business. ERPLax starts by understanding the actual process before configuring the manufacturing execution software around it.
