What is MES?

The Manufacturing Execution System (MES) is software that manages production processes, controlling and monitoring production activities in real-time.

MES acts as a bridge between Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems and control and monitoring systems within the factory. MES helps optimize production processes, improve product quality, and enhance the efficiency of factory operations.

What is SkyMES?

An integrated production operating system with Odoo ERP. The original Odoo software (up to version 17.0) does not include MES functionality, stopping at the level of Manufacturing Resources Planning (MRP), which focuses on material planning. The MRP function in Odoo allows for material deduction, inventory management, and effective automation of supply chain planning. However, Odoo MRP does not meet the requirements for planning and real-time monitoring of production activities.

With extensive experience in deploying customized MES solutions for various factories across different industries, we have standardized and developed a powerful and flexible MES solution that addresses the complex and diverse needs of various factory types. MES functionality can be used alongside MRP functionality in Odoo without any conflict; however, once MES is implemented, MRP is not necessary because MES is the next step in MRP development and includes MRP functionalities in more detailed and specific ways.

Key Benefits of Using SkyMES MES System

The SkyMES Production Management System brings several practical benefits, such as:

Risk Control

Proactively and flexibly plan production based on available resources. Create detailed machine-specific plans and estimated production schedules, calculating completion times right from the planning stage.



Optimize Production Capacity

ERP production management software helps increase factory operational efficiency by easily identifying and optimizing bottlenecks in the production process.

Real-Time Visual Reports

Update production data and view real-time production reports and analyses as each step is accompanied by execution instructions and real-time production data updates.

Theoretical Production Cost

Immediately upon creating a Bill of Materials (BOM) and production process, the system can calculate the theoretical production cost, allowing comparison with the actual production cost after executing the production order.

Reduce Defective Goods

Allows for detailed classification of defects, detailed statistics for each type of defect, each stage, each machine, each operator, over time, corresponding to each machine operation parameter. This enables operators to identify the causes, propose preventive measures, and track improvement results over time.

Inventory Management at Every Stage

Manage raw materials, semi-finished goods, and finished products at every stage, manage material flow between stages, and manage defective goods at each stage.

Optimize the Supply Chain

Automatically suggest material procurement based on current inventory and future production/sales plans.

Actual Production Cost

Track the runtime of each machine in real-time, monitor material consumption and actual material costs, and calculate piece-rate wages per output, accurately tracking the actual production cost.

The production planner can simultaneously optimize multiple production plans based on priority or adjust them using intuitive drag-and-drop operations.

Automatic Production Resource Calculation and Forecasting


(Automatically calculate production resources)

Based on the production capacity of each machine, each stage for each product, and existing work orders, the MES software automatically calculates and optimizes the work order for each machine.

Receive delays warnings during planning before production begins.

SkyERP MES has three optimization mechanisms:

  • Equal distribution of quantity
  • Optimize finish time
  • Optimize the number of running machines

Work Schedule for Each Machine

 

(The work order is automatically calculated for each machine, accurate to the minute, including rest times)

The production management software’s machine management feature allows the automatic creation of work schedules for each machine and synchronizes them with the schedules of other machines.

Machine managers can see work orders assigned to their machine organized by status in an intuitive manner.

Operation Instructions for Each Stage

(Operation instructions at each stage)

The OneMRP production management system supports the use of display screens for monitoring at each stage. Users can:

  • View operation instructions for the stage
  • Record activities such as receiving materials, recording production progress, updating machine parameters, and transferring materials to the next stage
  • View all information related to the work order

Production Progress Updates


(The system automatically updates production progress)

The MES production operating system (SkyMES) allows direct production progress updates at each machine through touch screens:

  • Update the quantity produced
  • Update the number of defective goods by defect type
  • Update semi-finished goods and finished goods transferred to the next stage
  • Update material consumption
