MES Development
MES (Manufacturing Execution System) development that connects the production plan with what actually happens on the shop floor - order by order, machine by machine.
Challenges
Problems We Solve
The ERP knows what should be produced; the shop floor knows what was actually produced. A Manufacturing Execution System (MES) sits between the two. It releases work orders to the line, records execution and machine performance as they happen, enforces quality checks, and sends confirmed results back to planning and finance.
- The ERP plan and shop-floor reality are reconciled by hand.
- Work orders are printed, and progress is invisible until the paper comes back.
- There is no traceability from finished goods back to materials and machines.
- OEE is calculated in spreadsheets - if it is calculated at all.
What's Included
- 01
Work order dispatch
Releasing orders from planning to lines and operator terminals.
- 02
Execution tracking
Start, stop, output and scrap recorded per order and per operation.
- 03
OEE & downtime
Machine performance with categorised downtime reasons.
- 04
Quality checkpoints
Inspections tied to each operation, complete with hold and release.
- 05
Traceability
Materials, batches, machines and operators linked to every output.
- 06
ERP feedback
Confirmed production results and material consumption sent back to the ERP.
Our Approach
How We Deliver It
Building digital systems that help businesses manage complex processes, operations, assets, data and resources.
- Defining the data flow between ERP, MES and machines before building screens.
- Starting with order execution and downtime - the fastest route to visibility.
- Adding quality, traceability and machine connectivity module by module.
- Deploying on-premise or at the edge to stay reliable on the shop floor.
Technology
The stack is chosen for the product, its scale and how it is deployed - not the other way round.
- React
- PWA
- Go
- REST API
- PostgreSQL
- Redis
- Edge gateway
- IoT
- ERP

FAQ
What people often ask about this service.
Do we need an MES if we already have an ERP?
An ERP plans production and records it for accounting; it rarely captures what happens minute by minute on the line. An MES fills that gap and sends accurate results back to the ERP.
Is the MES a packaged product or custom-built?
Custom-built. We build on our experience developing FactoryVision and fit the modules to your processes, products and machines, rather than forcing a fixed package.
How is an MES rolled out without stopping production?
Line by line. A pilot line validates the operator workflow first, and other lines follow once it has proven itself in daily use.
