Manufacturing Execution System
Tempus empowers manufacturers to enhance efficiency, improve quality, and reduce downtime by capturing and analyzing real-time data for data-driven decision-making. In the midst of supply chain constraints, skilled labor shortages, and geopolitical challenges, embracing smart manufacturing technologies is crucial for staying competitive and maintaining overall productivity.
Real-time Visibility and Control for Manufacturing Excellence
Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) are the backbone of modern manufacturing, offering real-time visibility into every stage of production, from raw materials to finished goods. By bridging the gap between the factory floor and management systems, MES enables seamless coordination, control, and optimization of operations. With functionalities like production monitoring, condition monitoring, predictive maintenance, and process optimization, MES empowers data-driven decision-making. Adopting MES is a key step in digital transformation, providing the essential benefit of real-time visibility and control to boost productivity and performance.
Already have MES but need a new one?
MES holds a critical position for manufacturers because it bridges the gap between high-level business applications like ERP and the Industrial Control Systems like SCADA/HMI. While ERP systems help with resource allocation, they lack the granularity of MES, which provides real-time, even minute-to-minute, resource scheduling, execution, and dispatch.

This allows for immediate response to any issues that may arise and continuous monitoring of key indicators, ultimately leading to optimized operations.
Production Management
By tracking scrap, OEE, yield, and MRO rejects, production management capabilities within an MES enable you to maximize your production capacity. Gaining insights into production efficiency allows you to reduce downtime and optimize machine performance, driving higher productivity and profitability.
Quality Management
Integrated monitoring and control systems within an MES ensure your products consistently meet quality standards. This leads to a significant increase in product quality, reduction in waste, and improved compliance with industry regulations.
Inventory Management
MES offers comprehensive inventory management, encompassing traceability, product genealogy, serialized part management, cycle counts, shipment container tracking, and lot traceability. These capabilities improve inventory accuracy, reduce instances of stockouts and overages, and ensure seamless traceability throughout your entire supply chain.
Tool Management
By effectively managing tool usage, maintenance schedules, and performance metrics, tool management features within an MES help you extend tool life, reduce maintenance costs, and ensure that the right tools are available and in optimal condition whenever they're needed
