MATE-MES(Manufacturing Execution System)

Evaluate your readiness for MES adoption using a self-diagnosis checklist:

• Inadequate knowledge-based information systems for shop floor management

• Lack of integrated functionality for production activities

• Insufficient information sharing across factories, departments, processes, and workflows

• Difficulty monitoring production progress at various stages

• Discrepancies between raw material input and physical inventory

• Limited ability to provide or collect critical on-site operational data

• Inability to respond flexibly to sudden changes in production conditions

• Challenges in gaining transparent visibility and making prompt decisions

• Need for a comprehensive system to oversee shop floor operations and support decision-making

• Difficulty addressing discrepancies between ERP production requirements and actual results

• Managers spending 25–35% of their time verifying and correcting on-site data

• 
  MES is an integrated production management system.

  MATE-MES integrates seamlessly with existing systems, such as ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), to streamline material receipt and issuance using barcodes or other methods. It ensures clear traceability and enables quality control by handling each step—production planning, work orders, process management,
  and performance recording—at the appropriate management unit.

  In terms of product receipt and shipment management, the system uses wireless and wired scanners or PDAs to automate tasks, collect and analyze on-site information, and ensure accurate data processing.
  This facilitates rapid decision-making for both operators and managers.

  MES enables Quality Control and Informed Decision-Making

  MES is a system that oversees the entire production cycle, from initiation based on product orders to the quality inspection of finished products. It serves as an integrated information system for the production site, collecting various data in real time—such as production performance, worker activities, equipment status, and product quality information—and performing aggregation, analysis, monitoring, and control of the production process. This enables the establishment of a high-quality, profit-oriented production system.

  In other words, MES is designed to improve productivity and meet the increasing customer demands for enhanced product quality. It allows companies to accurately monitor and manage real-time production status on-site, reflecting the characteristics of the company’s industry and production site while considering necessary management aspects.

MATE-MES can optimally manage the production activities of the 4Ms that exist on the production floor—Man (workers), Method (production methods), Material (materials),
and Machine (production equipment)—by collecting real-time data through the information system.
