Introduction to MES
WHAT DOES A MANUFACTURING EXECUTION SYSTEM (MES) DO?
BY FACILITATING THE INTEGRATION OF MANUFACTURING FLOOR SYSTEMS WITH ENGINEERING
AND BUSINESS SYSTEMS, AN MES STREAMLINES PROCESSES THAT SPAN ACROSS THE
ORGANIZATION.
An MES gives enterprises real-time control for monitoring and managing all
work-in-process (WIP) on the shop floor. It tracks and documents the
transformation of raw materials through finished goods.
In digital enterprises, MES solutions connect shop-floor automation systems to
the overall enterprise software network. The best solutions can tightly
integrate with every other enterprise system, creating a digital ecosystem that
coordinates quality management, planning, scheduling, dispatching, and
production execution.
Features

smoothly by updating process plans with product updates in real time.
PRODUCT TRACKING & GENEALOGY
In complex manufactured products with many parts and subassemblies, it is
critical to ensure that the right parts are in place at the right time. Solumina
MES software tracks all materials, parts, and components as they move from one
work center to the next and transmits WIP inventory levels back to the ERP
system. Solumina also maintains a complete product history, from ideation, into
the customer’s hands, through to its disposal.
PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS
Solumina MES makes data accessible and contextualized so you can easily analyze
and optimize business performance. Data is consolidated on dashboards with

Integration
WHY SHOULD YOU INTEGRATE YOUR MES AND ERP?
ELIMINATE REPEAT DATA ENTRY WHILE TURNING ERP DATA INTO ACTIONABLE INFORMATION.
ERP is a system of record, while MES is a system of production, and they must
work together to achieve optimal resource utilization. The MES-ERP
integration orchestrates work orders with resource needs so that every business
process is synchronized. The collaboration of business systems also means that
data entry only needs to be done one time, which streamlines production by
removing repetitive processes.
By tracking planned and current production progress, the MES ensures ERP
information matches the real-time situation on the shop floor. Without an MES,
ERP data can be unreliable due to manual errors or unaccounted losses. An MES
brings in the information of the individual manufacturing process and design,
turning ERP data into actionable information. This automates a process that is
often done manually, improving both time and accuracy.
WHY SHOULD YOU INTEGRATE YOUR MES AND PLM?
PROVIDE DESIGN ENGINEERS WITH REAL-TIME INFORMATION FROM THE SHOP FLOOR TO
ACHIEVE CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT IN THE DESIGN PROCESS.
PLM contains all the design information for the product and process. When PLM is
integrated with MES, manufacturers can act on real-time product and process
information. This creates a closed feedback loop between PLM requirements and
variables from the shop floor during production, reducing the production of
defective components.
When shop floor issues occur, PLM-MES integration allows faster isolation of the
root cause, including issues in the extended supplier network. MES extends this
integration out to suppliers for enhanced data exchange and communication.
Words From the Wise
“PLM-MES INTEGRATION SHOULD BE HIGH ON EVERY MANUFACTURER’S TO-DO LIST, BECAUSE
IT LEADS TO MUCH BIGGER THINGS – DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION.”
Director of Product Management, iBase-t
Model-Based Enterprise
WHY INTEGRATING MES AND PLM SHOULD BE AT THE TOP OF YOUR TO-DO LIST
PLM-MES integration is one of the fundamental steps on the path to smart
factories, digital threads, and the Model-based Enterprise. Once MES and PLM are
tightly linked, big things can happen.

PLM-MES INTEGRATION FOR NPI
PLM-MES integration accelerates new product introduction (NPI) by evaluating
process efficiency and optimizing the product process and design. It makes sense
of the data created during the initial design phase, which manufacturers can
then use to reduce cycle time, increase capacity, and standardize best
practices. Additionally, the monitoring system helps to avoid unnecessary
operations and rework to keep production processes sustainable.
Accelerating NPI is an increasing focus for many manufacturers looking to gain a
competitive edge. For example, if the Pentagon is seeking contracts for
production of a new aircraft, they are going to seek the best quality at the
lowest price. That requires manufacturers to focus on product and process
optimization. Improving NPI time-to-market helps manufacturers succeed in a
competitive market.
SOLUMINA MES HELPS ACHIEVE QUALITY GAINS
RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES ARE TRANSFORMING THE PRODUCTION OF GOODS AND
SERVICES ACROSS THE GLOBAL ECONOMY.
As Industry 4.0 takes shape, complex manufacturers must keep their operations
competitive and achieve quality gains. Solumina MES helps manufacturers break
down information silos between departments, allowing closed-loop quality
management by bringing quality data into one central location. Manufacturers can
use this data for process optimization and proactive issue prevention. A central
system accessible to all is key to closing the loop.
Solumina also ensures quality by enforcing proper procedures during production,
including:
* Complex process routing sequences
* Engineering changes affecting WIP
* Collection of manual data entry, verifications, and signatures
* Personnel qualifications requirements
* Equipment and tooling calibration requirements
* Documentation requirements for a complete history of every unit
* Traceability of components/assemblies installed and materials used
SOLUMINA MES PROVIDES THE FOUNDATION FOR IMPLEMENTING A DIGITAL THREAD AND
DIGITAL TWIN
A digital twin is the virtual, real-time digital counterpart of a manufactured
product or manufacturing process. It is used to achieve continuous improvement
in model-based design and engineering processes.
THE DIGITAL THREAD IS THE FOUNDATION FOR DIGITAL TWIN
It is a digital representation of a manufactured product’s design and
specifications. It is used to view the status of connected devices, which
updates data to the digital twin in real time. With this method, the digital
twin is an accurate virtual copy of the device’s current status. Complex
manufacturers can achieve better preventive maintenance and enhanced quality
control capabilities with digital thread and digital twin.
MES FOR COMPLEX DISCRETE MANUFACTURING
THE ECONOMY’S MOST CRITICAL SECTORS— AEROSPACE AND DEFENSE, NUCLEAR, MEDICAL
DEVICES, ROBOTICS, AND INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT— LEVERAGE COMPLEX DISCRETE
MANUFACTURING.
These industries typically deal with strict regulatory and compliance
requirements, making MES an essential technology for manufacturers seeking
greater control, compliance, time-to-market, and visibility. Solumina MES
manages product lifecycle execution with accurate instructions, real-time data,
and manufacturing intelligence.
Solumina MES enables flexible routing optimized for order quantities and
integrates non-conformance and deviation processes. It also provides serial
tracking at suppliers and factories. It reduces paperwork by delivering greater
accuracy, precision, and quality of online work instructions, while scaling
processes across all production centers at any time, in any location.
MES HELPS COMPLEX DISCRETE MANUFACTURERS
SOLVE THESE PROBLEMS:
* Difficulty innovating to meet market demands
* Coping with the pace of change
* Latency of information: receiving data too late for useful analysis
* Issues with material traceability
* Poor visibility into WIP
* Missed production schedules
* Lack of production throughput
* Excessive errors due to paper-based or manual processes
* Too Many Systems on the Shop Floor: lack of a unified vision
SELECTING THE RIGHT MES
Not all manufacturing software is equal. Each product and vendor will create a
different experience with varying levels of functionality and scalability. A
given system may be more or less than is needed for the individual manufacturer.
Modular architecture addresses this issue by allowing enterprises to pick and
choose their MES functionality as needed, almost as simply as adding apps to an
iPhone. This ensures that companies get the most out of their MES by giving the
right functionality and integration for each circumstance.
SHOULD YOU CHOOSE CUSTOM OR COTS?
An MES can be custom built or commercial off-the-shelf (COTS). In making the
decision, there are five important risk factors to consider:
BUDGET RISK
Unexpected work required in implementation services
OPERATIONAL RISK
Insufficient hardware, lack of training, or flawed implementation
CHANGE MANAGEMENT
The rate of user adoption and productivity within the organization
TECHNICAL RISK
Configuration problems and technical debt sending a ripple effect through the
implementation process
EXTERNAL RISK
External factors, such as company consolidations and new strategy
COTS IS LESS EXPENSIVE AND TIME-CONSUMING COMPARED TO A CUSTOM SOLUTION
Many COTS users cite refined compliance in ready-made systems and lower
maintenance costs as key advantages. While each option carries its own risk, the
COTS approach is more predictable and involves fewer surprises. Custom solutions
can seem like the best choice today for meeting exact needs but can become
cumbersome and difficult to manage as the enterprise changes and evolves.
There are many factors to consider when choosing an MES implementation strategy.
The strategy chosen will dictate the success of the transformation for years
afterward. For manufacturers seeking to unify the vision of their enterprise and
forge a path into the future of Industry 4.0, choosing the right MES and
implementation partner is critical. See our white paper, Don’t Be Fooled by the
Wrong MES, to learn more!
