Get started with MES Operator

Manufacturing Execution System (MES) Operator is the application that is typically used on the shop floor. It is the production employee’s interface to the MES system. Operator is used to execute a process. Production employees use Operator to claim quantities produced and report consumption. They also use the application to enter data into the system using steps, specifications, and Data Logger. Operator is used to capture machine utilization and labor data. Operator supports a number of login scenarios, including multiple users logged in to one or multiple machines and a single user logged into multiple machines.

The system can be set up to require a significant amount of interaction between the production employees and the application or minimal interaction. Many of the production employee transactions with Operator can be automated by directly linking MES with shop floor PLCs.
