Flexible manufacturing control that works with ERP

direct MES offers a complete solution that enables seamless communication between manufacturing and ERP systems. The system is designed to be independent and adaptable, allowing for easy integration with existing systems without being tied to a single ecosystem.

Purchase orders are transferred to the manufacturing system, where goods receipt is registered and confirmed back with updated inventory and traceability. At the same time, the requirement calculation can generate new purchase proposals with the supplier, including quantity and required date, which are then sent back to the ERP.

Example: When a sales order is created in the ERP, it is combined with stock levels and planned manufacturing in direct MES to generate production orders. Scheduled manufacturing dates are sent back, giving the administrative team up-to-date delivery information.

Improved inventory control and real-time status

With direct MES, inventory movements and consumption are continuously updated in the ERP, ensuring that financial and logistics systems have accurate stock values and traceability. Product structures and operations can be managed directly in the MES or synchronised from the ERP, depending on your company’s setup.

Manufacturing progress, material consumption and finished goods are reported continuously back to the ERP. Sales and planning teams gain real-time visibility, while the shop floor receives all required orders without manual processes.

This flexibility allows you to build on existing investments while modernising your manufacturing environment with a solution tailored to your needs.

The integration between ERP and direct MES ensures that planning, inventory and manufacturing operations work smarter together.
