Many manufacturing companies are trying to compete relying on the technologies of the past. Legacy MES systems operating with manual processes can no longer meet modern needs. The importance of higher quality, safer and more efficient production is increasing day by day in order to stand out in the competition. To meet these needs, industry leading companies employ industrial Internet of Things based MES systems platforms, integrated with their micro-service based manufacturing applications.
Internet of Things technologies connect production processes and transform automation systems running independently from each other to digital twins that show the entire value chain. Solutions that provide the data needed by the management to make more accurate decisions in addition to meeting the operational needs of the production, and maximize the value created in the production operation.
End-to-end monitoring and optimization of production solutions through connected systems is crucial for next generation production solutions, in order to avoid lagging behind in the competition. In this respect, industrial Internet of Things solutions that combine informatics and operational technologies emerge as a key requirement
Why Manufacturing Execution System?
Platform360 MES Manufacturing Execution solution is an inclusive set of solutions that provide the infrastructure for Internet of Things platform and digital production. Solutions that manage production, materials, maintenance, quality, energy and safety also allow the end-to-end management of factories by integrating with systems such as ERP and PLM as needed. Platform360 MES monitors and manages the production value chain from end to end, enabling the company to reach its productivity and quality targets.
The solution can be positioned to minimize additional investment to already installed/old factories, thanks to its flexible structure; in addition it also avoids disruption of production during implementation. The system enables multiple factories to be monitored over a single production template, considering their differences, as the case may be.

Benefits and Business Results
01
Efficient Production
- Product, model, shift, asset, station, line, area or factory-based monitoring of product variants to enable accurate targeting.
- Standard template of production is created by monitoring multiple production facilities on a comparative common platform.
- Calculating the effect of short but frequent production downtimes which are not monitored by operators, in order to achieve operational excellence.
- Continuous improvement through insight in production.
- More efficient planning by combining production, planning and capacity management
02
More Flexible Maintenance
- Automated maintenance work orders.
- Increasing First Time Fix Ratio (FTFR) with automatic identification of root causes of downtime.
- Short but frequent stops, which can be ignored in manual data entries, are recorded.
03
Safer Production
Integration with sensors and systems in the field enables real time monitoring of compliance with occupational health and safety rules.
04
Production Quality
- Identifies problems early in the process, not after the fact.
- Ensures standardization of production processes.
