What benefits and returns can an MES execution system bring to enterprises? With the deepening of smart manufacturing and Industry 4.0. concepts, more and more customers have accepted the concept of the MES execution system and recognized the necessity of implementing it. So what specific benefits and returns can an MES execution system bring to enterprises?

An MES execution system can help enterprises reduce costs and increase efficiency:

1. Improve the efficiency of information communication
The direct efficiency improvement brought by all IT systems is the improvement of information communication. This is one of the basic functions of any IT system.
In previous production management, information communication relied on face-to-face communication, phone calls, or emails, and communication was neither timely nor real-time. Through an MES system, managers can grasp almost any information and data in production in near real time, process data promptly, reduce efficiency waste caused by poor information communication, and improve efficiency.
2. Improve the work efficiency brought by standardized processes
Without MES system support for production business processes, a dedicated department is needed to manage production workflows, which incurs certain management costs. If management is poor, production business processes become uncontrollable, production may fall into chaos, and various forms of waste may arise.

With MES system support, production processes and specific operations can only be carried out in fixed or limited ways within the system. They cannot be changed arbitrarily, and it becomes difficult to cut corners. This reduces the cost of process management and the production waste caused by the absence of fixed processes, thereby improving manufacturing efficiency.

3. Improve the efficiency of data collection

Data can also be collected manually, and manual collection can be very flexible. However, the efficiency and accuracy of manual data collection are much poorer, and it can no longer meet today's manufacturing management requirements.
When paired with certain data collection hardware and technologies, an MES system can automate data collection and greatly improve the efficiency of manual collection. It can even capture data that cannot be collected manually, improving the comprehensiveness and accuracy of data collection.
Further use of this collected manufacturing data can significantly improve the efficiency of production control.
4. Improve the efficiency of production performance analysis and the accuracy of production decisions
Based on extensive manufacturing data collection, the MES system can process, analyze, and mine production data and carry out performance analysis for production management.
Compared with manual data collection and performance analysis, the MES system can greatly improve the efficiency of performance analysis and achieve comprehensive and precise results.
Real-time production data, plus in-depth mining and analysis of that data, provides support for production decisions and can greatly improve the accuracy of production managers' decisions.
Therefore, the core issue solved by the MES system is cost reduction and efficiency improvement. In this respect, the MES system improves production management efficiency by improving information communication, standardizing processes, enhancing data collection, and strengthening performance analysis.

An MES execution system brings enterprises the following benefits:

I. Execution capability increased by more than 80%
1. Strictly follow the FIFO principle;
2. Prevent errors in inbound and outbound warehousing;
3. Prevent skipping production processes;
4. Production dashboards;
5. Operation prompts.
II. Full-process visualization - production costs reduced by more than 10%
1. Visualization of raw material inventory management
Reduce inventory, prevent raw materials from expiring, and save manufacturing costs.
2. Visualization of the manufacturing process
View production progress instantly, prevent production accidents, avoid line stoppages, and identify employees with higher error rates.
3. Visual management of finished goods
Trace the history of finished products. When a product quality problem occurs, the system can quickly identify the cause, reducing both cost and time.
III. Enterprise labor costs reduced by more than 30%
1. The number of warehouse management staff can be cut by half;

2. Procurement, finance, statistics, management, and other personnel can all be improved through this system, increasing efficiency and reducing staffing.

IV. Customer satisfaction increased by more than 200%
1. Show customers how the enterprise ensures quality control;
2. Transparently display the manufacturing progress of customer orders to customers;

3. When a quality issue occurs, inform customers of the cause at the earliest possible moment.

However, for production management, the greater efficiency improvement comes not only from the MES execution system tool itself, but also from the production consulting and production improvement carried out around MES system implementation.
