G-TRACE is a complex MES solution for manufacturing:

An MES is not one single simple application. An effective MES consists of an integrated set of production activity and support applications that have been developed using correctly matched technologies.

With so many components creating an MES,implementing an MES in a variety of degrees becomes possible; from uncomplicated WIP tracking to a solution integrated throughout a plant floor collecting data, monitoring, and managing resources.

The real key to understanding an MES is to be aware that it simply automates the information loop between the shop floor and enterprise information systems. An MES makes up-to-the minute shop floor information available companywide.

MES is the ideal application to collect data needed by any other system in the organization, providing a real-time database for traceability while providing information for continuous improvement in operations.
