A practical starting point

Give every production event a business context.

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.

What we deliver

MES & Shop-Floor Integration services

01

MES scope & selection support

Map production requirements and system responsibilities before configuring or selecting execution software.

02

Production-order integration

Define dispatch, change and cancellation flows between ERP, MES and shop-floor systems.

03

Operator data capture

Design practical screens for counts, downtime, scrap, work instructions and exceptions.

04

Material genealogy

Link lots, serials, consumption and production events to the level of traceability the process requires.

05

Quality workflows

Connect inspection requirements, results, holds and release decisions to authorised roles.

06

Reconciliation & support

Build validation, duplicate prevention, retries and reconciliation into the integration design.

Engineering the outcome

An interface is only complete when exceptions are handled.

Normal transactions are one part of the design. We also define what happens when data is late, a message repeats or production changes.

01

Order changes

Identify which system owns the change and how the line receives it.

02

Network interruption

Define permitted local operation, queued events and reconciliation.

03

Rejected transactions

Make failures visible with a correction owner and controlled replay.

Our delivery approach

Build evidence at every stage.

  1. 01Map execution flows
  2. 02Define ownership
  3. 03Build interfaces
  4. 04Test normal & exception paths
  5. 05Pilot & hand over
A project your teams can own

Clear scope.
Testable acceptance.
Practical handover.

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.

MES & Shop-Floor Integration FAQs

How is MES different from ERP?

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.

Can we integrate an existing MES?

Yes, subject to supported interfaces, licensing and access. We first document the current system, required transactions and the responsibilities of each application.

Does MES integration require machine connectivity?

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.

How do you prevent missing or duplicate postings?

The design can include unique transaction identifiers, validation, controlled retries and reconciliation. These behaviours are tested with the selected ERP and MES interfaces.
