MES Smart Manufacturing Execution System

MES (Manufacturing Execution System) is a solution that helps businesses monitor, manage, and control the entire production process from input to output, creating a Smart Factory that operates accurately, efficiently, and transparently.

IIQ’s MES solution is designed to be flexible and easy to deploy, enabling businesses to automate workflows, reduce errors, lower costs, and increase production line efficiency.

MES for Manufacturing Plants

✅ Connects and records production data in real-time.

✅ Monitors quality, production progress, and machine status.

✅ Synchronizes information between production planning (ERP/SCM) and actual shop floor operations.

✅ Controls standards, processes, and personnel across the production line.

✅ Serves as the foundation for building a digital, smart manufacturing facility.

Suitable Businesses for MES

• Factories operating in the manufacturing sector.

• Plants with multiple stages or production lines requiring strict quality and progress control.

• Companies pursuing digital transformation in manufacturing and aiming for a Smart Factory.

Benefits of MES for Businesses

✅ Increased production efficiency: Automatic data recording reduces waiting time, minimizes manual operations, and optimizes the production line.

✅ Reduced errors & Improved product quality: Real-time quality control monitoring alerts deviations immediately.

✅ Traceability: All production data is recorded and traceable by batch and process stage.

✅ Enhanced transparency & Control: Management can monitor plant status anytime via visual dashboards.

✅ Optimized production costs: Reduces material waste, minimizes defective products, and increases machine efficiency.

✅ Foundation for digital factory transformation: MES bridges ERP systems and IoT devices on the production line.

Key Features of the MES System

• Scheduling & Dispatching: Allocate work per shift/plan, assign tasks to production lines and process stages.

• Real-time Monitoring: Track production output, machine status, and material usage minute by minute.

• Quality Management: Inspect quality at each process stage, alert errors, manage standards, and generate QC reports.

• Work Instruction Management: Provide SOP-based step-by-step instructions for production to minimize errors.

• Material Tracking: Monitor materials by batch, track consumption across stages.

• Traceability: Trace the complete journey of products from raw materials to finished goods.

• Machine Integration & OEE: Connect machines (IoT), automatically measure OEE, and analyze equipment performance.

• BI & Analytics: Automated reports on production output, defects, shift performance, WIP inventory, and downtime.
