We are able to advise on some of the most suitable for your industry and we can support your project teams when implementing MES in your organisation, acting as specialist consultants to augment your own teams.

This experience and working closely with MES software vendors we are able to offer some of the following services to improve MES within your organisation:

Integration to Other Systems

Integration of MES with other systems can provide real benefits in terms of reduced data entry across the organisation, more dynamic operations management and a more holistic view of the organisation in terms of managing and reporting within the business.

Using industry best practice and our wealth of MES experience across a number of MES systems Ascari have the capability to quickly and efficiently connect your MES with other key systems including ERP, CRM, Statistical Process Control, Enterprise Reporting, Planning and Scheduling, Material Transport and Process Tools.

• Applied Materials FactoryWorks
• Applied Materials PROMIS
• Applied Materials Workstream Open
• Eyelit Manufacturing
• UGS/Siemens X-Factory

Please contact us to discuss your particular requirements in this area.

Better Reporting

Reporting within MES systems is always a contentious issue.  Should it be done in MES?  Should an enterprise-wide reporting system be used?  Should we just open the database schema and let everyone in the organisation 'do their own thing?'.

Although most MES systems today have much much better reporting capability organisations need to report key performance indicators (KPI's) across many parts of the organisation.  Often a reporting portal is a much better tool, pulling information from many systems and delivering it to the desktop in a familiar to use browser environment.

Using tools like Microsoft SharePoint ad Microsoft Reporting Services Ascari can use the MES as a rich data source for delivering key information to manage the business across the whole organisation with only a web browser on the desktop.

Extending Legacy MES Life

Sometimes financial or human resources do not allow an organisation to migrate to a more up-to-date MES system even if their current solution is 'creaking at the seams' or it is not up to the job of changing business requirements.  This is an area where Ascari may be able to help.

Using our experience of MES systems together with our technically astute software developers, our team can review your existing technology and see if it is possible to add functions in a cost effective way working with and augmenting your current system in order to squeeze a little more from the investment.

If you feel your existing MES software could do with a boost please contact us and we will, free of charge discuss possible ways to help.
