Transmitted by the ERP or the production management to the MES software, production orders can also be created directly.
It is important to plan them in time over a suitable period (team, day, week) and to control their execution by automatic launch, or under operator control. The scheduling or detailed planning supports this function, on which certain constraints can be applied, such as equipment already used or reserved, availability of materials, or carrying out certain preliminary checks.
