Materials & WIP
Material consumption and work in progress visible between operations.
Work instructions

Integration

Where MES fits
The bridge between machines and business
In the ISA-95 model, MES sits at Level 3, manufacturing operations. It turns plans from the business layer into executed production, and turns raw signals from the control layer into production facts the business can trust.
- Up: to ERPReceives orders and returns confirmed production, consumption and quality results.
- Alongside: inShiftShift plans, handovers and Permit to Work for the people running production.
- Down: to control systemsReads machine and process data from Inplux SCADA, PLCs and other control systems.
