Manufacturing MES Development

Overview

A Manufacturing Execution System (MES) tracks production activities on the shop floor — work orders, work-in-progress, quality checks and equipment status. It bridges the gap between ERP (planning) and actual production execution. Custom MES development is appropriate when standard products do not match your production flow.

Core MES Functions

• Work order management — Receive production orders from ERP and dispatch to lines or stations.
• Production tracking — Record output quantities, scrap rates and cycle times in real time.
• Quality inspection — Log inspection results at defined checkpoints.
• Material consumption — Track raw material usage against BOM requirements.
• Equipment status — Monitor machine availability and downtime reasons.
• Production reporting — Shift summaries, OEE metrics and yield analysis.

MES and ERP Integration

MES typically receives production orders from ERP and feeds back completion data, material consumption and quality results. GLIT Electronic Technology builds MES modules as part of broader manufacturing or ERP projects — integrated rather than standalone when possible.

FAQ

What does a Manufacturing Execution System do?
MES tracks production orders, work-in-progress, quality checks and equipment status on the shop floor, connecting planning systems to actual manufacturing execution.

How does MES integrate with ERP?
ERP sends production orders and BOM data to MES; MES returns completion quantities, material usage and quality metrics to ERP for inventory and planning updates.
