EZ-MES Features

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.

Overview

All core capabilities in one system

From tracking every product to connecting your own tools and equipment, all EZ-MES capabilities work together in one browser-based platform. Below is an overview of each one.

Overview of the EZ-MES feature areas

Traceability

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.

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.

Materials

Inventory Management

Track and optimize materials to reduce costs and protect against loss.

Real-Time Inventory Control

Know exactly what you have, where it is, and how it moves. EZ-MES tracks inventory levels, stock locations, and material movement.

Process data

Data Acquisition, Collection & Analysis

Capture detailed process data at every step to drive informed decisions and continuous improvement.

Real-Time Process Data & Reporting

Use the collected data to improve efficiency, quality, and yield. Access it through built-in reports, Excel exports, or SOAP interfaces.

Scheduling

Work Order Management

Plan, prioritize, and execute production efficiently with structured workflows that keep every job on track.

Structured Travelers & Intelligent Scheduling

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, and priorities are calculated automatically from due dates.

Document control

Documentation

Work instructions, specifications, SOPs, checklists, drawings, certifications, and more, managed in one place 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.

Automatic Document Delivery

Documents can be automatically presented to operators during specific operations—ensuring they have the information they need, exactly when they need it.

Version & Revision Management

Full revision control keeps a complete history of changes, so only approved, current versions are used in production.

Compliance & Audit Readiness

A searchable document history supports regulatory compliance and simplifies audits.

Labeling

Barcode & Custom Label Support

Simplify data capture and improve traceability with flexible barcode and labeling tools designed for fast, accurate shop-floor operations.

Flexible Labeling & Barcode Integration

Most reports include machine-readable identifiers, and you can design custom labels with product-specific details, branding, or images.

Maintenance

Equipment & Asset Management

Maintain complete control over your production equipment with centralized tracking, maintenance, and documentation that keeps operations running smoothly and compliantly.

Maintenance & Equipment History

With EZ-MES you can:

  • Schedule preventive and reactive maintenance
  • Track full equipment history and usage
  • Maintain traceability down to individual parts, lots, and runs
  • Access equipment documentation instantly

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.

Integration

Open API Integration

Seamlessly connect your existing tools, software, and equipment to create a fully integrated manufacturing ecosystem.

Flexible Connectivity & Automation

The EZ-MES API gives you access to core MES functions, enabling seamless integration with external software, automation equipment, and custom applications.

Ecosystem

A manufacturing execution system that fits into your existing landscape

EZ-MES exchanges information with your ERP and other business systems, while manufacturing execution stays focused on the factory floor.

How EZ-MES works

From production order to completed operation

EZ-MES is built around the manufacturing operation itself. Each operation defines what the work requires and records the information generated while it is carried out.

1

Queued

Products wait in the queue until an operator is ready to begin processing.

2

Track In

The operator scans or selects the product, and EZ-MES starts capturing activity and data.

3

Sign Off

The operator completes the work and signs off. Data is saved and the product moves on.

4

Next Operation

The output becomes the input for the next operation in the production flow.

Operations can include work instructions, specifications, materials, equipment, personnel, locations, automation, data collection, and conditional workflows.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can't find what you're looking for? We're happy to help.

Does EZ-MES support serialization?

Yes. You can assign serial numbers automatically or manually and trace each serialized item individually.

What data can EZ-MES collect?

EZ-MES can capture operator input, machine readings, sensor/IoT data, measurement results, timestamps, environmental conditions, and more.

Does EZ-MES 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 EZ-MES 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.
