ORELSIS
Solution

Manufacturing execution (MES)

A manufacturing execution system (MES) is software that schedules work orders, monitors shop-floor production in real time and records the history of every product. ORELSIS combines OREL MRP, OREL TTS, OREL QMS and OREL IMS into one production bundle for planning, OEE, quality and traceability. This closes the gap between ERP and the machine.

Challenge

ERP knows what should be produced, but not what is happening on the shop floor right now. Downtime, scrap and delays are reported by hand at the end of the shift. Tracing a product's history after a customer complaint takes hours.

Capabilities

Run production in real time, from planning to traceability

01

Production planning

Schedules work orders across machines and shifts based on capacity and material availability.

02

OEE tracking

Measures availability, performance and quality per machine in real time.

03

Downtime management

Records downtime with reasons and reports the causes behind the largest losses.

04

Traceability

Keeps product genealogy by lot and serial number from raw material to shipment.

05

In-line quality

Presents control plans to operators, records measurements and raises non-conformances.

06

Material and WIP tracking

Tracks line supply, work-in-progress and material consumption in real time.

Our approach

How we deliver it

  1. 01

    Map the shop floor

    We map lines, machines, operations and existing data sources, and design the target flow.

  2. 02

    Connect the machines

    We collect machine and PLC data automatically and set up operator terminals where needed.

  3. 03

    Roll out the bundle

    We roll out planning, OEE, quality and traceability modules in phases, starting with a pilot line.

  4. 04

    Close the loop with ERP

    We receive work orders from ERP and write actual production and consumption back to it.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

ERP manages enterprise processes such as orders, finance and purchasing. MES manages what is happening on the shop floor right now: which machine is producing what, how much downtime there is, which lot went where. The two systems complement each other.

No. The bundle is modular. Most companies start with OEE and traceability, then add planning and quality.

Yes. On machines without a PLC we use additional sensors or I/O modules. Where needed, data can also be entered at an operator terminal.
