Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) : Advanced MES
Accelerate your digital transformation and Smart Factory initiatives today: improve efficiency, increase quality, reduce scrap, help ensure on-time delivery, empower employees.
What Is Advanced MES?
Advanced MES is a critical part of any Smart Factory or sustainability project. Epicor Advanced MES collects data directly from equipment and operators on the shop floor in real-time, maximizing data accuracy and process automation. With information instantly in your hands, you can anticipate and solve production problems before they happen.
- Improve efficiency
- Reduce waste
- Improve quality
- Increase uptime
Benefits to Manufacturers
Automatically capture data from machines and sensors on the shop floor. Powerful visual data empowers your employees, fostering openness, accountability, and responsiveness. Effective real-time information can help your company prevent issues before they escalate, improving response times and enhancing collaboration from the shop floor to the top floor.
Find out in real-time when a machine is not running efficiently so you can make quick adjustments and improvements. Use collected and tagged performance data to implement continuous improvement programs, helping your business run efficiently with maximum up-time.
Statistical Process Control (SPC) and Statistical Quality Control (SQC) use real-time actionable data to help you respond to production conditions, avoiding any potential errors that could lead to defective parts. Enable consistent results without consistent oversight and easily conform to your customer’s quality standards.

Business Intelligence and Analytics
View the big picture of how your business is performing at all times. Our analytics engine includes an out-of-the-box connection to Advanced MES, meaning you get a fast implementation and fast ROI.
Data Integration
Integrate seamlessly with other systems using the Data Exchange module. The Data Exchange module is an intuitive import and export wizard for Advanced MES. You’ll have a fast, easy way to transfer data, avoiding manual data entry and helping ensure data integrity.
Alerts and Notifications
Automate shop floor communications with automatic messaging and escalation, so supervisors, managers, maintenance crews, and engineers can respond immediately to risk conditions in the plant.
Quality Management
Get timely feedback and pre-emptive responses with the Statistical Process Control (SPC) and Statistical Quality Control (SQC) module. Use real-time IoT sensor data to help you respond to production conditions before making bad parts.
Energy Monitoring
Sustainability initiatives mean you have to monitor energy usage and waste across your plant operations. Monitor energy usage by plant, department, resource, job, or part. Tackle costs, reduce emissions, and help cut recurring energy bills.
Digital Twin
The ABLE Digital Twin application is a versatile tool that pulls data from your IoT devices to create a visualization of all your shop floor data. Using the replay mode, you can go back in history and visually review information to see what caused an issue earlier in the day.
