This manufacturing process management software system was developed by Com-Forth. It provides continuous, real time manufacturing process management to facilitate well-founded decisions. It provides continuous feedback about machine and product status as follows:

• Planned and unexpected downtimes and malfunctions
• Defects
• Machine utilization, OEE
• Operators
• Material requirements, order status
• Norms, planned vs. actual production

A considerable advantage of the use of the MES system is that it can collect data from the individual (island like), parallel systems (for example ERP, logistics, production planning, HR) to one, common system. As a result of integration, MES provides transparent data that can in turn be used to make the operation of the plant transparent. Robust scalability and customization features ensure that all the users and user groups see only those data they need where and when necessary, using the display method of their choice (computer, tablet, smartphone, Andon table, etc.).
