The MES is commonly considered as the workshop's ERP.
The ERP is the order giver to the MES which will begin where the ERP stops.
ERP and MES therefore ensure digital continuity right into the workshop.
The ERP is indispensable to the company's strategy whilst the MES is essential for production execution and control.
The ERP operates by the hour whilst the MES operates by the minute.
The MES will also feed back information (time, machine time, labour time, stock movements...) to the ERP so that it consolidates this at the level of financial data.
ERP and MES are therefore fully complementary and essential to the company's performance.
