Manufacturing Execution Systems - system components, requirements definition and vendor selection

Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) have been an essential component of modern IT architectures in production for years. They connect management and store floor levels and continue to gain in importance - despite new technologies such as IIoT, service-oriented architectures and low-code platforms. MES providers are integrating these trends in different ways in order to secure their market position - which makes the choice for manufacturing companies increasingly complex.

Over 150 MES providers in Europe alone make it difficult to maintain an overview. Which systems cover which functions? Which solution really fits the requirements of your own production? What is the right approach to selection, team set-up and preparation?

At the same time, an MES introduction means far-reaching changes: manual workarounds and established processes are replaced by clearly defined, digital workflows. This not only affects IT, but in particular the day-to-day work in production - because an MES is a long-term, strategic investment.

Our white paper offers orientation:
Together with MES provider Industrie Informatik, we at NEONEX have pooled our experience in a practical guide. It offers manufacturing companies a structured approach to selecting and implementing an MES - from defining specific requirements, gap analyses and action planning to the final system decision based on functional, organizational and commercial criteria.
