Frequently Asked Questions
Is Production Execution an MES (Manufacturing Execution System)
If it fits what you need in an MES, yes. Though there is a theoretical definition of Manufacturing Execution Systems, every manufacturer knows that their operations are deeply personal. Needs can vary from one site to the next within a division, and even between production lines in the same plant. Production Execution is uniquely capable of providing operations and technology teams with shop floor reporting that is perfectly mapped to QAD Adaptive ERP. It doesn’t attempt to cover every aspect of traditional MES, but many COOs and CIOs see how effortlessly Production Execution removes paper and data silos from the shop floor, and decide it’s the perfect next step toward digital manufacturing.
Can Production Execution gather data directly from machines?
Yes, Production Execution is architected with the best-in-class SCADA platform Ignition (by Inductive Automation). Customers are pairing a predefined library of functions in Production Execution and Ignition’s comprehensive set of data acquisition tools to ingest machine data.
