SOLUTIONS
Advanced Digital Solutions for Optimised Decision-Making
Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) provide real-time control and visibility across production operations, enabling manufacturers to improve quality, efficiency, compliance, and productivity.
ITS delivers full lifecycle MES services - from strategy and requirements definition through to enterprise-scale deployment and 24/7 operational support, powered by the TrakSYS Manufacturing Operations Management platform.
TrakSYS is a unified Manufacturing Operations Management platform that connects systems, contextualises data, digitises workflows, and enables real-time command of manufacturing operations.
MES Lifecycle Overview
ITS supports manufacturers across the complete MES lifecycle, from strategy, URS development, digital manufacturing roadmaps and business case planning through to solution design, TrakSYS architecture, OT/IT integration, deployment, validation and long-term support. This includes integration with PLC, SCADA, ERP, historian, PLM and third-party platforms, alongside 24/7 monitoring, optimisation, change management and user training.

FAQ
Here to Help with Manufacturing Execution Systems
To help answer any questions you may have, we’ve compiled a list of frequently asked questions to provide you with the information you need to make an informed decision about working with ITS.
What is a Manufacturing Execution System (MES)?
A Manufacturing Execution System (MES) is a software platform that connects people, processes, and production equipment on the shop floor. It provides real-time visibility of manufacturing operations, helping businesses improve productivity, quality, traceability, and compliance while enabling better decision-making.
How can an MES benefit my manufacturing operation?
An MES helps manufacturers reduce downtime, improve product quality, increase operational efficiency, and gain greater visibility into production performance. By digitising manual processes and capturing real-time data, businesses can make faster decisions, reduce waste, improve OEE, and ensure consistent product quality.
Can an MES integrate with our existing systems and equipment?
Yes. Modern MES solutions are designed to integrate with a wide range of systems, including ERP (SAP, Microsoft Dynamics Nav, etc…) SCADA, historians, laboratory systems, quality management systems, and shop-floor equipment such as PLCs and sensors. ITS specialises in creating connected solutions that work seamlessly within your existing manufacturing environment without adding additional network complexity.
How long does it take to implement an MES solution?
Implementation timelines vary depending on the scope and complexity of the project. A focused MES deployment can often be delivered within a few months, while larger multi-site or enterprise-wide programmes may take longer. ITS works closely with customers to defined a phased implementation strategy that delivers value quickly while minimising operational disruption.
What Support does ITS provide after MES implementation?
ITS provides a comprehensive lifecycle support, including system maintenance, enhancements, performance optimisation, user training, and 247 support options. Our team remains engaged after go-live to ensure your MES solution continues to deliver value as your business grows and evolves.
How does an MES help with compliance and traceability?
An MES provides complete production traceability by recording materials, processes, equipment, and operator activities throughout the manufacturing lifecycle. This helps organisations meet regulatory requirements, simplify audits, support electronic batch records, and maintain high standards of product quality and compliance.
