The difference and connection between MES system and ERP system

Introduction to MES

MES, also known as Manufacturing Execution System, aims to enhance the execution function of MRP planning by linking MRP planning with on-site control of workshop operations through the execution system. The on-site control here includes PLC programmers, data collectors, barcodes, various measuring and testing instruments, etc.

ntroduction to ERP

ERP system is an enterprise resource planning system that is built on the basis of information technology, integrates information technology and advanced management ideas, and provides a management platform with systematic management ideas to provide decision-making tools for enterprise employees and decision-makers.

What is the relationship between MES system and ERP

ERP is a company wide approach that manages information related to technology, procurement, inventory, production, and other aspects of the entire company. It covers a wide range of areas but is not detailed or specific. MES is specifically designed for on-site workshop management, such as determining which process the production of each component has progressed to and how much has been completed; Is the lathe and other equipment in the workshop in good working condition, have there been any malfunctions, how many are broken, where are they broken, and when will they be repaired; In addition, the on-site quality inspection of components, including the number of qualified parts, the number of unqualified parts, and the areas where they are unqualified, is more targeted.

ERP knows' why ', MES knows' how'

The former is used for strategy formulation, while the latter is something at the operational level. People who know how to do things give things to people who know why, and people who know why need people who know how to do things to realize their ideas. This is a very important interdependent relationship.

The role of MES system

The MES system can achieve strict quality management in a timely and maximum manner through real-time collection of on-site product information; On the other hand, using MES system can achieve strict control of production planning, thereby maximizing the timely delivery of products. Provide assurance in both quality control and production progress.

What effects will be achieved after using MES system?

MES (Manufacturing Execution System) is an integrated system that includes work orders, production, equipment management, maintenance, quality control, as well as inbound and outbound operations. It can be said to be the core of a manufacturing factory, which can achieve orderly and refined management, improve enterprise management level, and significantly enhance production efficiency.

How to integrate MES system with the company's existing systems?

Integrate with other systems and achieve data sharing through methods such as integrating the backend database.
