The Execution Gap

Manufacturing data exists everywhere.
Execution visibility is still fragmented.

Most plants already generate data from machines, PLCs, DCS, SCADA, RTUs, meters, quality systems, Excel reports and ERP/SAP. The challenge is that production, quality, maintenance and management teams often work with delayed, disconnected and manually prepared information.

Manual Production Reporting

Shift books, Excel sheets and tribal knowledge instead of real-time numbers.

Disconnected SCADA, ERP & Quality

Each system runs in its own silo with no shared production context.

Poor Downtime Visibility

Losses are reported the next day, not the next minute.

Limited Traceability

No end-to-end view across batches, machines, shifts and operators.

Delayed Quality Decisions

Defects identified after batches have already moved downstream.

Maintenance ↔ Production Disconnect

Breakdowns not linked to production loss or root cause.

Excel-Dependent Planning

Review meetings start by reconciling spreadsheets, not deciding actions.

Data Not Ready for Analytics / AI

Inconsistent tags, no asset model, no context — analytics stalls.

Business Outcomes

From scattered data to decisions you can act on in real time

Operators, supervisors, plant heads, quality, maintenance and management — every role sees the same trusted production picture, with context.

FAQ

MES Services — frequently asked questions

What is MES and why is it important?
MES connects shopfloor operations with enterprise systems, helping teams track production, quality, downtime, materials and performance in real time.
Can TAS integrate MES with existing PLC, SCADA and ERP/SAP systems?
Yes. TAS has automation and industrial software capability to connect PLC, DCS, SCADA, RTU, historians, databases and ERP/SAP systems using industrial protocols and APIs.
Do we need to replace our existing SCADA system to implement MES?
Not always. TAS can design MES as an integration layer above existing SCADA, historian and control systems where technically suitable.
Can MES be implemented in phases?
Yes. A phased implementation can start with one line, process area, machine group or KPI such as OEE, production tracking or quality traceability.
Can TAS support brownfield plants?
Yes. TAS is suitable for both greenfield and brownfield sites, with experience in legacy integration and modernization.
Is MES only for large factories?
No. MES can be scoped according to plant size, complexity and maturity. A focused MES pilot can begin with a practical use case and scale over time.
How does MES support Industry 4.0?
MES creates contextual production, quality and asset data that becomes the foundation for analytics, dashboards, AI-readiness and enterprise-level manufacturing intelligence.
