Materialise Manufacturing Execution System (MES)
Gain total control over your downstream processes for consistent output at scale
Optimize your downstream additive manufacturing (AM) processes to streamline production and scale your operations with confidence. MES provides user-based access to real-time information about what’s happening on the production floor, helping you make sound, data-based decisions.
Benefits
Generate actionable insights
Gain a complete overview of every aspect of your downstream processes, from order status and bill of materials, to checklists, worker tasks, and more.
Configure manufacturing travelers
Easily add production, process, quality, and yield data to manufacturing travelers or work plans to record crucial quality data per process.
Achieve repeatability at scale
Track the genealogy of components, sub-assemblies, and final assemblies to measure output at each manufacturing stage and improve overall quality.
Maximize production capacity and throughput
Optimize build capacity and schedule your production more efficiently using a central planning tool.
