MES BASICS

The safest approach is to define a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) as Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) that can be extended to include additional functionality to support the controlling, tracking, and documenting of the transformation of raw materials into finished goods in real-time.

BATCH PROCEDURE

The Batch Procedure Module adds batch processing, continuous processing, and general procedure control, based on the ISA-88 Standard, to the Ignition® Platform.

OEE DOWNTIME TRACKING

Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is used to monitor manufacturing effectiveness. The resulting OEE percentage is generic and allows comparisons across differing industries and processes.

Track & Trace

Tracking and tracing are the processes by which manufacturers obtain and record highly important information about where and how products are made. Our Track & Trace Module automates this process and has become a modern necessity for manufacturers as their industry faces increasing economic and regulatory challenges.

Statistical Process Control

Ensure that statistical process control (SPC) data is accurately collected on time, every time by using the powerful features of the Sepasoft® SPC Module for Ignition®. SPC will help you reduce or eliminate late or missing sample collection, inaccurate sample data, or other issues leading to quality problems.

Settings & Changeover

(formerly “Recipe & Changeover”)

Extend your system with the Sepasoft® Settings & Changeover Module to expertly build, manage, and monitor recipes. This powerful module is ideal for quickly and accurately changing machine, process, or system recipes.

Sepasoft Business Connector

The Sepasoft® Business Connector Suite builds upon decades of industry best practices to enable seamless integration between your enterprise systems and your Ignition®-powered manufacturing floor.

Web Services

The Sepasoft® Web Services Module gives your Ignition® Server the ability to communicate with modern and legacy web services. Web Services will enable you to consume data from and send data to remote and local Web Services, via both REST and SOAP protocols.

Document Management

The MES Document Management module allows users to create, edit, and display interactive HTML documents for use in the manufacturing environment.

Instrument Interface

The Sepasoft® Instrument Interface Module will let you capture raw textual data from instrument type devices via serial, text files, OPC devices and more, and enable you to parse out the meaningful values that can be saved to databases or passed along to other systems.
