Production Execution (MES)

Gain real-time visibility and control across your factory floor.

The Challenges
Manufacturers Face

Manufacturing performance depends on five interconnected shop-floor factors. When these factors are managed through disconnected systems, spreadsheets, or paper-based processes, productivity, quality, and delivery performance suffer.

Man

Manufacturers often experience:

  • Low productivity caused by skills gaps
  • Limited visibility into operator performance and capabilities
  • Loss of institutional knowledge when experienced employees leave

Material

Material management issues can lead to:

  • Wrong-material usage and production errors
  • Work stoppages caused by material shortages
  • Inventory discrepancies between physical stock and system records

Method

Production methods become difficult to control when manufacturers face:

  • Non-standardised operating procedures
  • Paper-based instructions and production records
  • Frequent changes to production processes and customer orders
  • Slow system adjustments that require extensive IT support

Machine

Equipment-related challenges include:

  • Low equipment utilisation and Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)
  • Inconsistent preventive maintenance schedules
  • Unrecorded repairs and maintenance histories
  • Poorly coordinated spare parts, mould, jig, and tooling management

Measurement and Quality

Quality management is often affected by:

  • Manual, paper-based inspection records
  • Inconsistent inspection criteria and quality standards
  • Delayed identification of production defects
  • Time-consuming retrieval of historical quality records

Intelligent Control Across the Entire Shop Floor

Digiwin MES acts as the intelligent hub of production operations, coordinating materials, people, equipment, processes, and quality data in real time.

Material Flow and Traceability

Ensure the correct materials are available at the right time and place.

Digiwin MES manages material readiness, movement, consumption, and returns throughout production. Real-time material tracking helps eliminate waiting time, and reduce discrepancies between physical inventory and system records.

Workforce and Skills Management

Assign the right operator to the right task.

Digiwin MES records operator skill levels, qualifications, and certifications to support accurate task dispatching. Managers gain greater visibility into workforce capabilities, productivity, and performance.

Equipment and Tooling Management

Improve equipment availability and minimise unplanned downtime.

Digiwin MES monitors machine status, operating parameters, production load, and maintenance schedules. It also manages moulds and jigs to ensure they are available, maintained, and correctly assigned.

Digital Process and Workflow Management

Standardise production while remaining flexible enough to respond to change.

Electronic standard operating procedures, or E-SOPs, guide operators through each production step. Low-code configuration allows workflows and processes to be adjusted quickly for engineering changes, and changing production requirements.

Real-Time Quality Management

Detect quality issues earlier and create a closed-loop improvement process.

Digiwin MES captures inspection and production-quality data directly from the shop floor. Real-time alerts, defect traceability, and integration with Digiwin sQMS enable manufacturers to analyse quality trends, and continuously improve production performance.

Why Digiwin MES?

Flexible Low-Code Configuration

Adapt production processes without lengthy IT projects.

Low-code configuration enables manufacturers to modify or replace production workflows quickly. This flexibility supports diverse products.

Seamless ERP Integration

Connect business planning with production execution.

Digiwin MES integrates seamlessly with Digiwin ERP as well as SAP, Oracle, and other enterprise systems. This creates transparent information flow from the front office to the shop floor.

Mobile-Ready Operations

Manage production directly from the factory floor.

Mobile access enables supervisors and authorised employees to review information, record activities, respond to issues, and manage operations at the point of action.

IT and OT Convergence

Turn machine data into actionable production intelligence.

Digiwin MES acts as a gateway between operational technology and enterprise IT systems. It consolidates, cleans, and contextualises machine data before combining it with business information for analysis, monitoring, and decision-making.

End-to-End Production Visibility

See what is happening across the factory in real time.

A digital representation of the shop floor provides visibility into production progress, operators, equipment, materials, tasks, and quality conditions. Complete traceability makes it possible to follow each product from raw material to finished goods.

Customer
Success Stories

Digiwin MES is trusted across a wide range of manufacturing environments, including electronics, serving manufacturers such as HannStar Board and CSun as well as the plastics, metals, and mechanical components industries.

Wieson Automotive

Wieson Automotive implemented Digiwin MES to reduce production costs and eliminate waste.

The system improved productivity, product quality, and traceability accuracy through serial-number-based material identification and scan-verified process transfers.

Mankason Industry

Mankason Industry used Digiwin MES to guide and monitor its entire production process.

By collecting shop-floor data digitally, the company transformed production activities into measurable performance indicators, enabling management to evaluate operations and make more scientific, data-driven decisions.

Giving Industrial

Giving Industrial partnered with Digiwin to shorten delivery lead times and improve capacity utilisation.

The implementation strengthened four critical manufacturing capabilities: production and sales planning, material preparation, production scheduling, and on-site execution and control.
