Insights on agentic MES, autonomous manufacturing, and the future of production execution systems.
Most plants end up with robots from four different vendors that don't talk to each other. Coordinating them is the MES's job — and the bottom-up way of getting there is also how you get ready for physical AI.
Most MES systems tell you what already happened, then wait for someone to act. The next ones act on their own. Here's what that shift means for a Tier-2 plant, and why it had to be built from scratch.
21 places your OEE quietly leaks — and how to find each one in a week, using the data and cameras you already have. Print it, run it with your supervisors before you buy any software.
