Manufacturing Execution System

Manufacturing Execution System (MES) has become essential part of today's manufacturing organizations to improve production performance. MindTree believes MES is much more than software for automating primary production processes, but is the key to gain real-time production visibility, enable quality and process improvements, and foster effective collaboration between shop floor and enterprise applications.

MindTree's MES Offerings

MindTree has significant experience in delivering MES solutions and services across discrete and process industries in improving operational efficiency and reducing costs. Our MES offerings help companies manage and control entire manufacturing processes and provide plant personnel with the intelligence and visibility to respond quickly to disruptions in the supply network or exceptions on the plant floor. Our significant expertise across manufacturing, business intelligence (BI), knowledge management practices and a vision for delivering process improvements, production visibility, and effective knowledge management has resulted in development of Production Management, Manufacturing Intelligence (MI) and Knowledge Management solutions and frameworks. Framework based approach ensures faster 'time to market' while delivering an agile information architecture thus helping companies realize the expected return on IT investments.

MindTree takes pride in its consultative approach, where we assess the maturity of a production organization and offer appropriate business solution.
