The step towards production support software can be challenging, especially if you (quite rightly) expect it to offer the same level of flexibility as that offered by your production environment. A Manufacturing Execution System (MES) is a software solution designed to optimise the efficiency and transparency of a manufacturing process. Typical features include: scheduling, tracking & tracing, production reporting, electronic work instructions, knowledge management, materials and tasks registration, automatic data collection, etc. Current modular, scalable and flexible production software modules make it easier than ever for companies to meet the requirements of Industry 4.0. This presentation will delve into the state-of-the art, best practices and guidelines to help you bridge the digital divide between administration and production, drawing on the experiences and insights of the Industry 4.0 living lab MES4SME.
