Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES)

Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES): Shop floor control software and systems, such as process control computers and programmed logic controllers. They acquire performance data from the past, create reports, provide graphics, sound warnings, and compile data for quality control. In order to develop cause-and-effect links between process conditions and quality data, MES frequently interfaces with laboratory information management systems. This influences control parameters to satisfy product standards.
