ORBIS Manufacturing Execution System (ORBIS MES)
What are Manufacturing Execution Systems?
Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) are used in manufacturing to track and document the transformation of raw materials to finished goods on the shop floor. They eliminate human error and paper-based systems through manufacturing process automation and thus, provide real-time data collection in your ERP system. In short, Manufacturing Execution Systems are designed to optimize shop floor production processes and give you complete control over your manufacturing operations in real-time.
Fully integrated SAP ERP solution for digitalizing production
ORBIS has developed its own Manufacturing Execution System: the ORBIS MES Solution. It is designed based on the ORBIS Multi-Process Suite (ORBIS MPS) and SAP Business Suite. In fact, it is 100% integrated into SAP ERP and is therefore the central building block for efficient integrating and synchronization of data from the shop floor with SAP processes and for the establishment of a digitally networked value chain.
Machines, devices, sensors, and actuators can communicate with SAP ERP and its processes, using ORBIS MES. ORBIS Manufacturing Execution System enhances the SAP ERP by providing a virtual representation of shop floor events in real-time and facilitates end-to-end planning and controlling of the digital factory in the SAP system. ORBIS MES is compatible with both SAP ECC and S/4 HANA.
