Manufacturing execution systems (MES) are computerized systems used in manufacturing, to track and document the transformation of raw materials to finished goods. MES provides information that helps manufacturers understand how current conditions on the plant floor can be optimized to improve production output.
More than 40 leaders from Chinese and foreign companies that work on MES R&D and application, attended the inaugural meeting of the new association, which serves as a branch of the China Association for Mechatronics Technology and Application.
