MESERPprogramvare

MESERPprogramvare refers to software solutions that combine aspects of Manufacturing Execution System (MES) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) to manage both shop floor operations and enterprise-wide resources. MES focuses on the manufacturing floor, coordinating production, monitoring equipment, collecting real-time data, and ensuring workflow adherence. ERP covers broader business processes such as financials, procurement, inventory, order management, and human resources. Integrating MES and ERP aims to create a unified information fabric where shop floor data and business planning data can flow seamlessly.

Core components typically found in MESERPsoftware include production scheduling and dispatching, work order management, quality management and traceability, equipment and downtime tracking, labor and skill management, and batch or lot genealogy. On the ERP side, core modules include financial accounting, procurement and supplier management, inventory control, sales and distribution, and supply chain planning. The integration enables real-time data exchange, such as shop floor status, completed production, and quality results feeding into ERP, while ERP plans and material requirements feed back to MES for execution.

Standards and approaches often employed include ISA-95 for the integration model between MES and ERP, middleware or APIs for data exchange, and event-driven architectures. Deployment options range from on-premises to cloud-based or hybrid models.

Benefits of MESERPsoftware include improved production visibility, real-time decision making, better quality and traceability, reduced lead times, and more accurate capacity planning. Challenges can include integration complexity, data governance, change management, and total cost of ownership. It is widely used in discrete and process manufacturing sectors such as automotive, electronics, pharmaceuticals, and consumer goods.
