EZ-MES is a real-time, browser-based Manufacturing Execution System designed to manage, track, control, document, and optimize work-in-process on the factory floor. Below is an overview of its core capabilities.
1. Product Tracking & Genealogy
Gain complete visibility into every product moving through your factory. EZ-MES provides real-time WIP reporting, configurable serial number logic, full product history from start to finish, and comprehensive genealogy with unlimited hierarchy levels.
Individual / Batch / Lot Tracking
Many industries require full forward (customer-facing) and backward (supplier-facing) traceability. EZ-MES lets you locate any part, lot, batch, or assembly quickly and accurately. At this stage, they sit in the queue until an operator is ready to begin.
Electronic Travelers
Electronic Travelers follow each part, batch, or lot through its defined production flow. They act as the centralized, real-time data hub, giving operators instant access to all relevant information for that specific unit.
2. Data Acquisition, Collection & Analysis
Once your processes are defined, EZ-MES helps you maximize efficiency, quality, and yield by capturing detailed process data at every step. Access your data through built-in reports, Excel exports, or SOAP interfaces to drive informed decision-making and continuous improvement.
3. Inventory Management
Know exactly what you have, where it is, and how it moves. EZ-MES provides flexible tools to track inventory levels, monitor stock locations, and capture material movement. This helps reduce costs, accelerate fulfillment, and protect against loss or misuse.
4. Documentation
Ensure accuracy, compliance, and consistency across your entire manufacturing process with powerful documentation management in EZ-MES. All critical documents—work instructions, specifications, SOPs, checklists, drawings, certifications, and more—are centrally accessible and always up to date.
Centralized Document Control
Store, organize, and manage all manufacturing documentation in one location. Operators always see the correct version at the right step, reducing errors and improving compliance.
Version & Revision Management
Every document in EZ-MES includes full revision control, allowing you to maintain a complete history of changes and ensure that only approved, current versions are used in production.
Compliance & Audit Readiness
With full traceability and accessible document history, EZ-MES supports regulatory compliance and simplifies audits by keeping all information organized, consistent, and searchable.
5. Equipment & Asset Management
Keep your equipment performing at its best. EZ-MES allows you to:
Schedule preventive and reactive maintenance
Track full equipment history and usage
Maintain traceability down to individual parts, lots, and runs
Access equipment documentation instantly
Generate barcode labels for fast data entry
Resource Allocation & Status
Ensure that everything required to start an operation: machines, materials, documents, and tools, is available and properly configured. EZ-MES includes revision control for all configuration elements to maintain accuracy and compliance.
6. Barcode & Custom Label Support
EZ-MES integrates seamlessly with barcode workflows. Most reports include machine-readable identifiers, and you can design custom labels that display product-specific details, branding, or images for streamlined data entry and tracking.
7. Work Order Management
Manage production with precision. EZ-MES organizes work using Travelers, which can be linked to a single Work Order. Each Traveler follows a routing defined by flexible Flow Definitions. Priorities are automatically calculated based on due dates, ensuring smooth scheduling and on-time delivery.
8. Open API Integration
Connect your tools, systems, and equipment. The EZ-MES API gives you access to core MES functions, enabling seamless integration with external software, automation equipment, and custom applications.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the system support serialization?
Yes. You can assign serial numbers automatically or manually and trace each serialized item individually.
What data can the system collect?
The system can capture operator input, machine readings, sensor/IoT data, measurement results, timestamps, environmental conditions, and more.
Does the system track inventory in real time?
Yes — inventory automatically updates as materials move through receiving, storage, production, and shipping.
Can documents be linked directly to work orders or steps?
Yes. Documents can be attached to specific workflows, materials, processes, or equipment.
What assets can the system track?
Tools, machines, calibration equipment, test stations, fixtures, and any production-related asset.
Are work orders generated manually or automatically?
Both options are available. Work orders can be created manually or automatically triggered by demand or scheduling systems.
