Most modern production The digital factory Through digitalization, industrial production is not only becoming increasingly networked, it can also be mapped digitally more and more completely. The basis for this is the system-side integration of processes – from ordering to production planning to logistics. Through constant communication between individual systems, the supply chain can become more dynamic, flexible and intelligent. This allows enormous potential for the entire production process. An essential part of the digital factory is the Manufacturing Execution System (MES). The MES is responsible for controlling production in real time and manages production resources, processes and operating data. It assumes a central software function in manufacturing. In the digital factory, the MES also communicates continuously with adjacent systems, such as an SAP system, and determines important key figures such as availability or effectiveness, making production processes more transparent and enabling them to be optimized further and further.
