The MES for SAP provides you with all production data in real time, combines machine and order information and thus ensures consistent, perfectly coordinated production processes.
A lot of data is generated in modern production: Machine statuses, process data, order progress or quality information. In order to create a controllable and efficient process, a system is needed that connects the world of machines and workers (the store floor) with the ERP system: a Manufacturing Execution System (MES). It records data from machines, systems and workstations, informs and guides production and assembly personnel, and combines all information with orders, materials and master data from the ERP.
As an MES solution in SAP, top MES extends SAP ERP and SAP S/4HANA with all the functions required for modern production control. It is fully embedded in SAP and works directly on the existing SAP structure without an additional platform, interfaces or duplicate data storage. This is a significant advantage over external MES solutions or cloud extensions.
All data from production, such as status messages, deviations or faults, are recorded and evaluated in real time in the SAP system. This creates a continuous flow of information and all key figures are immediately available where they are needed. This increases transparency, responsiveness, quality and efficiency in production.
Manufacturing Execution Systems such as top MES link the commercial level with the store floor and are therefore a central building block for efficient production. Shorter planning, throughput and changeover times as well as real-time data across the entire manufacturing process are just some of the benefits.
In our webinar, you will learn all about the functions, benefits and optimization potential of top MES for your production. Put an end to interface, Excel or paper-based processes and make your company fit for the future.
Test our solution without obligation
Would you like to know whether top MES is suitable for your production?
Then test it without obligation and with little effort as part of a test installation in your SAP system with your own data and processes.
An MES (Manufacturing Execution System) is the operational control center in production. It enables the control of production orders and the traceability of machine and process data in real time. It also enables quality management, product traceability and the management of material flows.
The standard SAP system lacks important functions for operational production control, such as special worker dialogs with all the information and functions required on the store floor, the monitoring of production data and machine statuses or the traceability of products. As digital production requires close integration with other areas such as purchasing, logistics, quality management, maintenance, etc., it makes sense to use an MES system that has no interfaces and communicates in real time with these disciplines in the SAP system.
top MES digitizes all key aspects of manufacturing, production or assembly. Operators, machines or production systems are mapped directly in the SAP system. Relevant information such as process data or error messages are generated directly on the store floor, allowing KPIs to be generated and analyzed. Product traceability, material flow control and quality management are also integrated.
Production and error data is available in real time, which sustainably improves product quality. By connecting commercial areas, precise information is available, which ensures transparency. Through the precise determination of key figures and process information, throughput times are reduced and costs saved.
The exact costs depend on the individual functional scope of the solution and customer-specific requirements, but digital production processes are undoubtedly a productivity booster. Replacing legacy and third-party systems with our MEs for SAP usually pays for itself in a very short time.
Take your business processes to a new level: with our solutions, you can modernize your SAP system landscape, optimize processes across all areas and create a stable foundation for future growth. From production and purchasing to service and personnel – top flow supports you in making your processes transparent, efficient and sustainable.
