  • Production Tracking & Scheduling. Monitor work orders, track production progress in real time, and manage dynamic shop floor scheduling.
  • Quality Management & SPC. Implement in-process quality checks, statistical process control (SPC), and non-conformance management.
  • Inventory & Material Tracking (WIP). Manage work-in-progress (WIP) inventory, track material consumption, and ensure traceability of components.
  • Performance Analysis & OEE Reporting. Calculate and analyze Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and other key performance indicators (KPIs).
  • Machine Integration & Data Acquisition (IIoT). Connect with shop floor machinery and sensors (IIoT) for automated data collection and real-time monitoring.

Our Approach - Digitizing Your Manufacturing Operations

We help you leverage MES to gain granular control over your plant floor and drive operational excellence.

  • Assessment of Current Production Processes. We start by analyzing your existing shop floor operations, data collection methods, and pain points.
  • MES Selection & Customization Strategy. Help you select the right MES platform (e.g., SAP ME, Siemens Opcenter, Plex) or design a custom solution.
  • Phased Implementation & ERP Integration. Implement MES modules चरणबद्ध तरीके से and ensure seamless integration with your ERP system for data consistency.
  • User Training & Go-Live Support. Provide comprehensive training for operators and supervisors, along with dedicated support during and after go-live.

Key Benefits - Key Benefits of Implementing MES

Transform your shop floor with real-time data and intelligent automation for a competitive advantage.

  • Improved Production Efficiency & Throughput. Optimize resource utilization, reduce bottlenecks, and increase overall production output.
  • Enhanced Product Quality & Reduced Defects. Proactively monitor quality parameters and identify issues early to minimize rework and scrap.
  • Real-Time Visibility & Control. Gain a clear view of shop floor activities, enabling faster response to disruptions and better decision-making.
  • Paperless Operations & Reduced Errors. Replace manual paperwork with digital workflows, reducing data entry errors and improving accuracy.
  • Full Traceability & Genealogy. Track products and components throughout the manufacturing process for compliance and quality assurance.
  • Data-Driven Performance Improvement. Leverage MES data to identify areas for continuous improvement in processes, quality, and efficiency.

Hotfix implemented an MES solution that has given us incredible insight and control over our manufacturing floor. OEE has improved significantly, and we've reduced waste by nearly 20%. Their team understood our complex processes and delivered a tailored solution.
