AI POWERED MES SOFTWARE
Manufacturing Execution System Software
Soft Designers MES brings production execution, machine monitoring, OEE, quality, traceability, Digital Work Instructions, materials, and manufacturing analytics together in one connected platform.
MES Overview
Connect Production Planning with Real-Time Shop-Floor Execution
A Manufacturing Execution System (MES) connects production planning with what actually happens on the shop floor.
It provides real-time visibility into production, machines, operators, materials, quality, downtime, and process performance.
Production Planning to Shop-Floor Execution
MES connects business-level production planning with the actual execution of manufacturing operations.
Real-Time Production Visibility
MES provides visibility into production status, machine conditions, output, downtime, and process performance.
Machine & Shop-Floor Connectivity
MES connects with machines, PLCs, SCADA systems, sensors, operators, and industrial IoT devices.
Production & OEE Monitoring
MES helps monitor production quantities, target versus actual production, machine status, and current OEE.
Quality & Traceability
MES connects quality inspections with materials, operators, batches, serial numbers, and finished products.
Connected Manufacturing Operations
MES brings production monitoring, Andon, Digital Work Instructions, machine monitoring, quality, OEE, traceability, and manufacturing analytics into one system.
Manufacturing Challenges
From Disconnected Manufacturing Challenges to One Connected MES
Manufacturing organizations often use ERP, machines, PLCs, SCADA, spreadsheets, quality applications, and maintenance software across their operations. Soft Designers MES connects these systems and shop-floor activities through a common manufacturing data layer for connected execution and real-time visibility.

HOW IT WORKS
From Production Order to Real Time Manufacturing Intelligence
An MES system operates as a digital connection between enterprise planning and physical manufacturing operations. It connects production planning, shop-floor execution, machine data, quality, OEE, traceability, and analytics into a structured manufacturing workflow.
-
1
Production Order
A production order is received from ERP or created within the MES.
-
2
Production Planning
MES determines the required product, quantity, process, work center, machine, operator, materials, and schedule.
-
3
Work Order Release
The production order is converted into executable shop-floor operations.
-
4
Operator Execution
Operators receive the required job information and Digital Work Instructions.
-
5
Machine & Data Collection
MES collects information from machines, PLCs, sensors, barcode scanners, RFID devices, and operator inputs.
-
6
Production Monitoring
The system compares actual production against targets to identify variance and support action.
-
7
Quality Inspection
Quality checkpoints are performed during production and linked with production, batch, machine, operator, or serial number.
-
8
OEE & Performance Analysis
Production and machine data are used to calculate OEE, downtime, productivity, and quality performance indicators.
-
9
Traceability
MES maintains the manufacturing history throughout the production process.
-
10
Analytics & Reporting
Managers access dashboards and reports to identify trends, losses, bottlenecks, and improvement opportunities.
