MES scope & selection support
Map production requirements and system responsibilities before configuring or selecting execution software.
Close the information gap between ERP plans and factory execution. MetaDynamic designs MES integration around production orders, material movement, quality checks and reliable shop-floor reporting.
A manufacturing execution system supports the monitoring and recording of production between business planning and machine-level control. Integration makes the flow useful: the right order reaches the line, the right material is consumed and the result returns with traceable context.
We help define system responsibilities, operator interactions and exception handling before building interfaces. The aim is a dependable production record that supports both daily execution and investigation.
Map production requirements and system responsibilities before configuring or selecting execution software.
Define dispatch, change and cancellation flows between ERP, MES and shop-floor systems.
Design practical screens for counts, downtime, scrap, work instructions and exceptions.
Link lots, serials, consumption and production events to the level of traceability the process requires.
Connect inspection requirements, results, holds and release decisions to authorised roles.
Build validation, duplicate prevention, retries and reconciliation into the integration design.
Normal transactions are one part of the design. We also define what happens when data is late, a message repeats or production changes.
Identify which system owns the change and how the line receives it.
Define permitted local operation, queued events and reconciliation.
Make failures visible with a correction owner and controlled replay.
We define the systems, equipment and delivery responsibilities in scope before implementation. The engagement plan identifies what will be tested, who accepts the result and how the solution will be supported.
ERP typically manages wider business planning and transactions. MES focuses on production execution and the records generated on the shop floor. Their boundaries depend on the chosen products and process design.
Yes, subject to supported interfaces, licensing and access. We first document the current system, required transactions and the responsibilities of each application.
Not every use case. Operator capture and business-system integration can provide value first. Machine data can be added where the signal quality and production requirement justify it.
The design can include unique transaction identifiers, validation, controlled retries and reconciliation. These behaviours are tested with the selected ERP and MES interfaces.
Share your ERP, MES and shop-floor challenges so we can define the integration boundaries.
