Features of the Manufacturing Execution System (MES)
- Visual Production Planning and Scheduling
- Shop Floor Control
- Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRP) for Materials and Labor
- Demand Planning and Forecasting
- Manufacturing Dashboards
- Quality Control and Compliance Tracking
There are also various connectors to:
- Real-time manufacturing PLC’s/IIoT
- Automatic labeling systems
- Warehouse control systems (WCS)
- Pick-to-light systems, carousel systems
The picking of components for manufacturing consumption is just as mission critical as it is for finished goods, and the directed workflow for lot and serial numbers along with FIFO/FEFO controls (pharmaceutical grade) are all required for Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP).
