About 

A Manufacturing Execution System (MES) is a fundamental component of a smart factory and often massively simplifies its implementation. It lowers the system complexity, brings order to the mostly historically grown data overgrowth and is easier to administrate than a collection of individual software or even Excel tables with macros. However, the specification of the requirements for an MES and the selection of providers are often a major challenge, since it is usually located in the "No man's land" between IT, operations and industrial engineering and the relevance for the company's results is unclear.

​

In the MES week, we would like to bring clarity to the MES jungle: specialist lectures on functionalities and implementation strategies, a seminar and a trade fair hall with the leading MES providers will help you get started on the topic.
