Manufacturing Execution System
What's a MES software?
MES (Manufacturing Execution System) software or production monitoring software is an IT tool, integrated into the company's information system, whose primary objective is to collect all production data in real time in order to optimize the monitoring and management of industrial processes. It is a real decision-making tool and is fully part of a continuous improvement process.
COOX : the Heart of Industry 4.0
The COOX MES or MOM (Manufacturing Operations Management) software is the heart of the smart factory. It allows you to control and optimize all stages of production, from manufacturing orders from the ERP or your management system, to storage or shipping of products. Connected to your ERP, COOX (COllaborative Operation & eXecution) collects all your production data in real time and provides the manufacturer with overall production monitoring. This data is then analysed to allow you to
continuously improve the performance of your installations, to react and anticipate breakdowns and hazards in your production instead of suffering them. Thanks to its innovative modeling technology, the COOX MES software adapts to any type of industrial process and any installation configuration. The models (of equipment, operation, etc.) are reusable on one or more sites. They contribute to the speed of deployment and the robustness of applications.
Control your production in real time at the heart of your industrial site thanks to the MES COOX platform and MESbox modules. Advanced and proven solution, quick to set up, COOX allows you to optimize your industrial operations, improve your production and reduce your costs!

Features delivered by the COOX MES software
Performance analysis - Indicators - OEE - KPI
Quality and industrial performance are part of the for continuous improvement of manufacturing processes (TPM approach : Toal Productive Management). Key Performance Indicators OEE calculation and monitoring Real-time graph display
Production quality monitoring
Quality, an essential component of production monitoring, is a transverse function that operates from the receipt of raw materials to the delivery of products. Multi-level Quality controls Quality rate and performance in real-time Continuous improvement
Products traceability - Genealogy
In order to guarantee the quality of their products and comply with increasingly demanding legislation, industries must have now an effective product traceability. Containers and transfers modeling Systematic traceability of material flows Detailed genealogy of batches and used equipments
Operating procedures monitoring - Process traceability - Batch file
Key to productivity and quality, process control is now a challenge for all industries. Process control Systematic process traceability Electronic Batch File
Recipes and bill of operations management - Formulas and BOMs
Essential for the control and execution of your production, product definitions can either be sent by your ERP but is often created or completed in the MES. Recipes definition Process modeling Recipes and multi-step procedures
Production orders management
Production orders will allow to sequence the manufacture according to the orders to be delivered. Import from ERP Launching and monitoring production orders Automatic management of resource allocation
Planning - Scheduling - Detailed Planning
Transmitted by the ERP or the production management to the MES software, production orders can also be created directly. Planning production orders Control of their execution Real-time visualization of production phases
Material flow and inventory management
Perfect visibility on material flows, whether raw materials or products : an essential stake for production. Comprehensive tracking of batches Immediate identification of their location Optimal inventory management
Staff, manpower and teams management
Production monitoring or MES functions do not replace the management of the company's personnel, but provide the necessary information for the assignment of personnel on the workstations and their management as a production resource. Better resource management Control of the execution time of operations Optimization of the actual manufacturing cost of products
