The future of food: How to ensure your MES implementation delivers on its objectives

Planning and partnership are everything

Implementing a food processing MES solution can have tremendous benefits for your organization, but careful planning is needed to ensure that it provides the results you want.

What is an MES and how can it benefit food producers?

A manufacturing execution system (MES) is used to measure, manage, and control critical plant floor and production activities in real-time, serving as a bridge between the plant floor and the rest of the organization. 

A successful food processing MES solution enables food producers to manage and respond swiftly and appropriately to changing conditions, with tangible benefits including:

●    Full real-time visibility of the whole operation and supply chain
●    Improved throughput without major investment in equipment
●    Improved overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) and uptime
●    Improved yield and margins
●    Improved quality assurance and food safety
●    Reduction in rejects, waste, and giveaway
●    Effective management of inventory, WIP, and final goods
●    Full end-to-end traceability
