Pick the industry, then see how it is done there 10 industry segments

The same MES carries different weight in automotive and consumer electronics: the first has to prove batch genealogy on demand, the second has to change over fast. Enter by industry to see what to deploy first and what acceptance looks at.

Architecture

Three layers, one dataset: shop-floor capture, execution control, decision dashboards

The shop floor produces data directly from equipment and racks; the execution layer closes it against work orders and routings; the decision layer turns the same data into dashboards and reports. Part numbers, batches and SNs use one coding scheme across all three layers, with no second entry.

02

Planning layer

Scheduling by line capacity and due date; planned progress and actual output on one screen, with rush orders reflected as they happen.

Production scheduling system APS
01

Decision layer

Output, attainment, defect distribution and temperature/humidity go straight to dashboards and reports, with no second round of data entry.

03

Execution layer

Work orders, station routing, error-proof material loading, traceability and quality disposition all converge here; this is where most implementation effort goes.

Shop-floor layer

Data comes from equipment and operator actions directly, not from supervisors filling it in afterwards.

The tiers matter because of data flow: the shop-floor layer produces records from equipment and terminals, the execution layer closes on work orders, and the decision layer consumes the same data directly. No batch imports in between, no secondary Excel roll-ups.

Six systems

Six systems, each solving one class of problem

Systems are split by responsibility, not by how they are sold. A deployment can start with a few of them; master data stays shared across systems, so part numbers never diverge.

01

Manufacturing execution system

MES

Work-order release, station routing, error-proof loading and full traceability — the base of shop-floor execution.

Rollout order

Four steps, each with its own acceptance

The sequence below is the common one in practice, not mandatory. Each step ends with something that can be accepted; move on once it is stable. Production never stops, and the order runs from closing gaps to raising efficiency.

  1. Step 1

    Step 1: Model the factory

    Create workshops, lines, stations and routings. Until this exists, no other module has anywhere to put its data.

    • Factory modeling

  2. Step 2

    Step 2: Close wrong-material and traceability gaps

    Error-proof material loading, end-to-end traceability and shop-floor dashboards go live together. Rework and customer complaints mostly come from these two gaps.

    • SMT process control
    • Traceability
    • Monitoring dashboards

  3. Step 3

    Step 3: Connect warehouse and planning

    Warehouse in/out, barcode rules, work-order release and scheduling are connected; kitting and issuing no longer rely on manual reconciliation.

    • Warehouse management
    • Barcode management
    • Order maintenance
    • Production scheduling

  4. Step 4

    Step 4: Add quality, equipment and back-end

    Quality loop, stencil and solder-paste records, equipment checks, plus DIP, assembly, packaging and reporting.
