Getting Started

The Manufacturing Execution System (MES) Client application provides a user interface to configure and monitor your plant model and production processes.

The MES Client application gives you the ability to configure items, operations, processes, specifications, labor, certifications, work orders, and jobs. You can configure the collection of data related to the plant floor equipment performance information for determining the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and its components—Availability, Performance, and Quality. You can also configure sample frequencies, characteristics, and test plans to collect quality-related data.

The information configured in the MES Client application is used to collect your plant process information from operators and production equipment on the plant floor. The information collected and stored from your production processes gives you the information needed to control and improve the overall operation management and performance of the plant.
