Supporting the departments
The MES software acts as a true bridge between the different departments of the factory by centralizing real-time production data. For production teams, it enables tracking of work order progress, quick response to disruptions, and visualization of key performance indicators such as OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness). On the maintenance side, it facilitates anomaly reporting, triggers interventions, and monitors equipment to better anticipate breakdowns. The quality department benefits from complete traceability of operations, inspections, and non-conformities, ensuring compliance with both internal and customer requirements. Finally, managers gain a comprehensive and reliable view of operations: consolidated KPIs, alerts, historical data, and decision-support tools that allow for more precise control of performance, priorities, and resource allocation. Thus, the MES becomes a cross-functional tool for coordination, responsiveness, and continuous improvement.
Monitor production in real time
MES enables real-time monitoring of the production line by automatically capturing data from machines, sensors, and operators throughout the production process. With this instant visibility, teams can immediately detect stoppages, slowdowns, defects, or performance deviations and take prompt action to minimize losses. Key indicators such as OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness), quality rate, and equipment availability are continuously updated, allowing for on-the-spot decision-making, better prioritization of maintenance actions, and real-time schedule adjustments. MES thus transforms each production line into a living system, driven by concrete, reliable, and actionable data, enhancing responsiveness and promoting continuous performance improvement.
Ensure production quality
MES directly contributes to production quality by ensuring complete, real-time traceability of every step in the manufacturing process. It automatically records production data, manufacturing parameters, quality checks performed, and detected non-conformities, which ensures compliance with specifications and regulatory requirements. By integrating tolerance thresholds, alerts in case of deviations, and standardized operator instructions, MES reduces the risks of human error and variability. It also facilitates rapid root cause identification in the event of a defect by cross-referencing machine data, raw materials, batches, and interventions. Thanks to this digital control of the process, MES becomes a powerful tool to strengthen product quality, support audit readiness, and foster a culture of continuous improvement.

Compare solutions
Solution | IoT | OPC UA |
|---|---|---|
Ease of installation | ✅ Very easy to deploy (plug & play) | ❌ More complex (requires machine access and network configuration) |
Machine compatibility | ❌ Sometimes requires adding physical sensors | ✅ Integrated into PLCs (Siemens, Schneider…) |
Data types | ❌ Limited (only what the sensors measure) | ✅ Comprehensive: statuses, counters, alarms, recipes… |
Data Accuracy | ⚠️ Good but depends on sensor quality | ✅ High precision (native process data) |
Latency / Responsiveness | ⚠️ Depends on the protocol (LoRa > slow, MQTT > fast) | ✅ Responsive locally |
Security | ⚠️ Varies depending on the sensors | ✅ Encryption, certificates, OPC UA authentication |
Standard interoperability | ❌ Depends on the vendor | ✅ International standard, supported by many vendors |
Maintenance / scalability | ✅ Easy to replace or add | ❌ More rigid, depends on PLC configurations |
Initial Investment | ✅ Cost-effective (sensors around ~€100) | ❌ Higher (licenses, gateways, engineering) |
Data Richness for KPIs | ❌ Limited to physical measurements | ✅ OEE, alarms, recipes, cycles, users |
