MES Solutions

Manufacturing Execution Systems That Connect the Shop Floor to the Top Floor

Every part serialized, every station accounted for, every shift reported — automatically. We build MES for high-volume discrete assembly where traceability and performance visibility are non-negotiable.

Capabilities

The Four Pillars of Our MES Delivery

Production tracking & traceability

Know exactly which components went into every serialized unit — across stations and across lines.

Serialized part tracking from load to unload
Component genealogy — the digital history card for every unit
Cross-line component linkage (sub-assembly to final assembly)
SAP key component booking integration

Genealogy record

UNIT : GBX-24A-081847
ST-20 : BRG-LH 7719-A ✓
ST-20 : BRG-RH 7719-B ✓
ST-30 : TORQUE 48.2 Nm ✓
ST-50 : LEAK PASS 0.8 Pa
SAP : BOOKED 261 mvt

Shift & performance management

Shift boundaries handled automatically, performance metrics computed continuously — no manual spreadsheets.

Shift window management with automated shift reset and boundary handling
OEE and OLE calculation from live station data
TAKT time monitoring against plan
SPR (station performance rate) tracking to find the true bottleneck

Shift metrics

SHIFT A : 06:00–14:00
PLAN   : 480  ACT: 461
OEE    : 84.7%
TAKT   : 58s (plan 60s)
BOTTLENECK: ST-30 (SPR 91%)

Production reporting

The right report, in the right inbox, at the right time — without anyone compiling it.

Automated per-shift production reports
SSRS reports for traceability, rejects, and downtime analysis
Scheduled HTML email reports with data tables and charts
Management dashboards for daily and monthly review

Delivered automatically

Shift-end email
Daily summary
SSRS drill-down
Downtime Pareto
Reject analysis

Reports render as clean HTML email — readable on a phone during the morning review meeting.

Quality & validation

The system enforces the process — wrong part, wrong sequence, or missed checkpoint stops the line before a defect moves on.

IPQC checkpoint tracking with enforced completion
Production order validation before station start
Product genealogy validation at every station
Poka-yoke station interlocks — e.g., pressing operations with LHS/RHS component validation
Alerting via messaging webhooks (Google Chat) and email

Interlock example

ST-20 PRESS · CYCLE START
SCAN : BRG-7719-B
EXPECT: RHS BEARING
CHECK : MATCH — PRESS ENABLED
// mismatch → press inhibited,
// Andon CALL + chat alert

Regulated Industries

Compliance-Grade MES and Material Management

For pharmaceutical, biotech, and other regulated production, the system itself must enforce and evidence compliance — not a binder of SOPs.

21 CFR Part 11 compliance

Tamper-evident audit trails on critical records and operations
Electronic signatures with user authentication and role-based access control
Data integrity aligned to ALCOA+ expectations
Validation documentation support (IQ/OQ) for audit readiness

Warehouse Management System capabilities

Inventory tracking integrated with production consumption
Barcode-driven material movement — receipt, put-away, issue to line
Location and batch/lot visibility for traceability
Stock reconciliation reports tied to the same SQL Server backbone

Engagement models

Packaged for Speed, Custom for Fit

MES Starter Package

Fast deployment, proven scope

A pre-architected MES core deployed and commissioned in weeks, not quarters.

Serialized production tracking
Andon board and line dashboards
Shift management with automated reporting
OEE/TAKT metrics out of the box
Standard SQL Server data model

Best for: a first MES on one or two lines, or replacing manual production logs.

Fully Custom MES

Tailored to your process

Designed around your product structure, station logic, and enterprise systems.

Tailored data model and genealogy structure
ERP/SAP integration (key component booking, order sync)
Bespoke workflows — rework loops, quality gates, cross-line linkage
Custom poka-yoke and interlock logic per station
Custom reporting suite (SSRS, email, dashboards)

Best for: multi-line plants with traceability audits, ERP integration, and complex assembly logic.
