MACHSOFT'S OWN MES SOLUTION

MachFlow MES

MachFlow is a modular Manufacturing Execution System (MES) developed by MachSoft. It brings together production tracking, work orders, machine and operation monitoring, quality records and reporting.

Modules and workflows can be selected according to a facility's production requirements. A deployment can be scoped around a single production line and expanded as needs evolve.

ILLUSTRATIVE INTERFACE CONCEPT

Production and performance at a glance

A representative view of how production output, OEE indicators, line status and downtime can be brought together. The interface below is a concept illustration; all displayed figures are sample data.

Illustrative interface concept. Figures, labels and charts are sample data and do not represent a live customer system.

MachFlow modules

The modular structure supports different parts of production operations. The functions included in a project are defined according to the facility’s requirements.

CORE

MachFlow Core

Work orders, operation tracking, real-time production monitoring, operator inputs, and shift/line definitions.

PLANNING

MachFlow Planner

Assign work orders to lines and machines, sequence operations, plan by capacity, and compare planned with actual results.

PERFORMANCE

MachFlow OEE

Availability, performance and quality indicators, downtime reasons, loss-time categories, and machine/line reports.

QUALITY

MachFlow Quality

Control plans, measurement and quality records, non-conformance tracking, and operation-level quality data.

TRACEABILITY

MachFlow Trace

Serial and lot tracking, material-to-product relationships, and forward/backward traceability.

MAINTENANCE

MachFlow Maintenance

Planned maintenance, fault records, MTBF/MTTR analysis, and production-linked maintenance data. AI-assisted predictive maintenance is optional.

INSIGHTS

MachFlow Insights

Dashboards, KPI monitoring, management summaries, and optional mobile access to MES functions.

WORK WITH EXISTING SYSTEMS

Support beyond MachFlow

An existing MES does not always need to be replaced. Alongside MachFlow, MachSoft can support development and integration around the systems already used at a facility.

Existing MES and data collection systems

Development and improvement of existing MES applications, plus integration with shop-floor data collection. The flow of work orders, production feedback and other data is scoped around available interfaces and project requirements.

SAP ME/MII development and integration

We can support shop-floor data flows, improvements to existing applications and related integration work around SAP ME/MII. The applicable scope is defined after reviewing the system version, available interfaces and technical requirements.

DATA FLOW & ARCHITECTURE

From the shop floor to enterprise systems

MachFlow or an existing MES can be part of the solution. The data collection and integration architecture is designed around installed equipment and the systems already in use.

SHOP-FLOOR LAYER

Production shop floor

PLCs, SCADA, CNCs, robots, sensors, test equipment and operator inputs

CONNECTIVITY LAYER

Data collection & communications

A layer for data exchange between installed devices and software systems
