A next-generation MES for discrete and process manufacturing: from order release, APS scheduling, work-order dispatch and shop-floor reporting to SPC inspection, equipment IoT, energy tracking and product traceability — connecting ERP to the production line and building an Industry 4.0 smart factory.
10 nodes connect the planning, execution and equipment layers, with every step trackable and every data point traceable
Organized into 5 business domains: planning & scheduling, execution control, quality management, equipment IoT and data analytics
Convert sales orders / MTS stock orders to work orders in one click, with order merge/split/insert and emergency orders
Multi-version BOM, engineering BOM, substitute materials and wastage-factor management; auto-explode multi-level BOM for material calculation
Multi-process routes, parallel processes and outsourced processes, with auto-tracked process parameters / standard time / yield
Finite-capacity scheduling using rule-based and heuristic algorithms, auto-scheduling under equipment/staff/material/tooling constraints
The Master Production Schedule (MPS) drives MRP net-requirement calculation, auto-generating purchase and production suggestion orders
Dispatch by equipment / team / worker, scan to claim work orders, with a live-refreshing process-flow kanban
Report from PDA / tablet / PC, supporting process, summary and piece-rate reporting, linked to payroll
Digitized three-inspection flow — production can't start until the first article passes, the line auto-stops on failed in-process checks, and results bind to processes
Real-time computation of Xbar-R/Xbar-S/P/C control charts, automatic CPK/PPK reports, and out-of-spec alerts
Defect logging, root-cause analysis, rework/scrap workflows, with a defect-code library + auto-generated Pareto charts
Connect PLCs, CNCs and injection machines via OPC-UA / Modbus / MQTT; auto-collect OEE (availability/performance/quality)
Equipment utilization, overall OEE and downtime cause analysis, with multi-dimensional drill-down by shift/line/equipment
Daily checks / TPM maintenance plans, repair work orders, spare-parts inventory; predictive maintenance via vibration/temperature sensors
Sub-metered collection of electricity/water/gas/steam, energy cost allocated by work order/product/process, with carbon-emission tracking
Forward traceability (batch → finished goods) + backward traceability (finished goods → raw materials), with SN serial numbers binding all process records
Work-order material picking, returns and delivery tasks, PDA scan inbound/outbound, auto-linked with the central warehouse
Shift management, clock in/out, labor-hour stats and piece-rate wages; seamlessly connected with OA attendance
Call for supervisor/material/quality/maintenance, with response-time stats; multi-channel alerts via shop-floor big screen + WeChat push
Real-time mapping of 3D shop-floor layout, color-coded equipment status, order progress animation, one-click projection to industrial big screens
Reports across 6 dimensions — output / yield / labor / cost / equipment / energy — exportable to Excel / PDF / BI
An APS engine based on constraint programming + heuristic algorithms simultaneously considers equipment capacity, staff skills, material readiness, tooling/fixtures, process priority and delivery commitments, generating executable finite-capacity schedules in seconds.
Supports 20+ industrial protocols including OPC-UA / Modbus / MQTT / Profinet / S7 / FINS, collecting equipment data every second, auto-calculating OEE and utilization, and auto-classifying downtime causes.
Each SN serial number binds all data — raw-material batch, process parameters, operator, equipment, inspection results and packing/shipping. When a customer complains, you pinpoint the affected scope in minutes and cut recall costs by 80%.
Built on Three.js + WebGL to render a 3D shop-floor replica, equipment status, order progress, staff distribution and material flow are mapped in real time with animation — control factory tours, dispatching and diagnosis on a single screen.
X-R chart / Cpk auto-calculated, with key quality metrics monitored in real time. UCL / LCL auto-detect anomalies, and 7-point one-sided runs, out-of-spec points and abnormal trends trigger immediate alerts — preventing quality problems instead of firefighting them.
A 5+ level deep bill of materials that expands/collapses freely. One-click readiness analysis shows which materials are ready, how short the others are and when they'll arrive, with shortage risks red-flagged at a glance — no more shop-floor arguments before kickoff.
A kanban view intuitively shows work-order flow: To Start → In Production → Paused → Completed. Each card includes a progress bar, equipment assignment, owner and due date, so supervisors grasp the whole shop floor in 30 seconds.
Each work order links to a complete process route (cutting → SMT → reflow → assembly → test → packing), with every process bound to equipment, standard time and inspection requirements. Completion time is accurate to the minute.
From customer order to production execution to finished-goods delivery, data flows end to end
Customer orders trigger work orders, order due dates and schedules sync both ways, and customers can check order progress anytime
BOM triggers MRP net-requirement calculation and auto-generates purchase orders; production inbound / picking / returns auto-link with stock
Trade-order due dates are back-verified by APS, with export scheduling / customs / container-loading data fully connected
Line stops/anomalies escalate via OA approval, process changes and quality anomalies follow approval flows, and labor hours connect with attendance
Equipment asset records, maintenance plans, repair costs and depreciation share a unified view with MES equipment utilization
Andon calls push to WeCom/DingTalk/WeChat, with the AI assistant helping diagnose anomalies and recommend SOPs
Multi-process, strong traceability and IATF 16949 — ideal for stamping/injection/assembly/wiring/electronics auto-parts plants
SMT placement, PCBA assembly and unit assembly, for multi-model small-batch, frequent-changeover scenarios
Non-standard custom, engineer-to-order/make-to-order (ETO/MTO) modes with strong process routing and project-based scheduling
Multi-SKU multi-color/size, assembly-line work and piece-rate wages, seamlessly connected with mini-program work-order claiming
Process manufacturing, batch traceability, temperature/humidity collection and GMP/HACCP compliance requirements
Full-process electronic signatures and audit trails for ISO 13485 / FDA 21 CFR Part 11
It supports 20+ industrial protocols including OPC-UA / Modbus / MQTT / Profinet / Siemens S7 / Mitsubishi MC / Omron FINS.
An APS engine based on Constraint Satisfaction (CSP) plus heuristic algorithms, simultaneously considering equipment capacity, staff skills, material readiness, tooling/fixtures, process priority and delivery commitments.
Yes. Each SN serial number binds all data — raw-material batch, process parameters, operator, equipment, inspection results and packing/shipping — meeting automotive IATF 16949 and medical ISO 13485 traceability requirements.
