As MES covers a very broad and often loose range of added-value topics, it is rare to find any two MES solutions that offer the same scope of functionality, especially given the rapid progress of related IT technologies such as Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and initiatives such as the Smart Factory. It is therefore important to understand the principles and technologies behind MES, so that it will work for your needs and requirements, rather than the other way around.

Whether you're in the market for your first MES or looking to upgrade a legacy solution, understanding key principles and technologies will ensure that you select the right system for your unique needs and requirements.
