Real-time production orchestration from order to finished goods - integrated with ERP above and PLCs below.
Software we deliver
Objective powered by Aptean
We implement MES on Objective by Aptean - a proven, modular platform for manufacturing operations.
Where MES sits
MES owns Level 3 production operations
In ISA-95, MES sits alongside the WMS on Level 3 and connects upward to ERP and downward to WES/WCS, SCADA and PLCs.
Business planning, finance, S&OP.
Operations management - MES owns production execution.
Supervisory control of lines and cells.
Field devices on the machine.
Our gate-to-gate solution
MES owns the production heart of the flow
One end-to-end picture - from goods receipt to customer. MES orchestrates the production zone, working hand in hand with the WMS for raw and finished goods.
Gate-to-Gate
Production at the centre of the flow
Picking & re-locate run continuously between warehouse and production.
Highlighted zones show where MES owns the flow - greyed steps belong to the other system.
