Manufacturing Execution System (MES)
See what's happening on your shop floor as it happens, not after the shift ends.
In most plants, production data exists, but it is scattered: a logbook here, a spreadsheet there, a supervisor’s memory filling in the gaps. By the time a quality issue or a downtime event gets reported, the moment to act on it has already passed. A Manufacturing Execution System closes that gap by connecting shop-floor activity, machine data, and quality checks into one real-time system that operations, quality, and leadership can all see and trust.
As part of INGSOL’s DigitalX vertical, MES implementation is not treated as a standalone software rollout. We integrate MES with your existing PLCs, SCADA, and ERP systems, and where needed, begin with a Digital Transformation Maturity Assessment to confirm your data foundation can actually support it. The result is an MES that reflects how your plant really runs, not a generic template forced onto your floor.
What Our MES Solutions Deliver
Real-Time Production Tracking
Live visibility into output, cycle times, and line status across extrusion, printing, lamination, and slitting operations, replacing end-of-shift reporting with real-time data.
Downtime & OEE Tracking
Automated capture of downtime events and Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) metrics, replacing manual logs with accurate, consistent data.
Dashboards & Reporting
Role-specific dashboards for operators, supervisors, and plant leadership, so each team sees the data relevant to their decisions, in a format they can act on.
Quality Management & Traceability
In-process quality checks, defect logging, and full batch and lot traceability, so quality issues can be traced back to their source quickly.
ERP & SCADA Integration
Two-way data flow between your MES and existing ERP and SCADA systems, so production data feeds business decisions and vice versa, without manual re-entry.
Why It Matters
Without real-time tracking, downtime and quality issues are discovered after the shift, when the chance to intervene has already passed.
Manual logs and spreadsheets introduce errors and make root-cause analysis slower and less reliable.
Without automated traceability, tracing a quality issue back to its source can take days instead of minutes.
An MES connected to ERP and SCADA gives every team the same numbers, removing disputes over whose data is correct.
How We Deliver
1. Assess
Where needed, we begin with a Digital Transformation Maturity Assessment to confirm your systems and data are ready for MES integration.
2. Design & Architect
We design an MES configuration and integration plan suited to your existing PLCs, SCADA, and ERP systems.
3. Integrate
Connectivity between machines, sensors, and the MES platform is established and validated for data accuracy.
4. Deploy
MES capabilities are rolled out in phases, prioritized by the areas with the greatest operational impact.
5. Train & Optimize
Operators and supervisors are trained on the system, and dashboards are refined as adoption grows.
Why Manufacturers Choose INGSOL for MES
- Engineering-Led, Not Software-Led. Our engineers understand extrusion, printing, and lamination processes directly, so MES configuration reflects how your line actually operates.
- Built to Integrate, Not Bolt On. MES is implemented as part of a broader OT-IT architecture through DigitalX, not as an isolated software project that never fully integrates.
- No Overengineering, No Upselling. We configure the MES capabilities your plant actually needs. No unnecessary modules, no inflated scope.
- Connected to the Rest of INGSOL. Reliable MES data becomes the foundation for predictive maintenance and analytics work through INGSOL Labs.
