MES and ERP integration, planned around live production

Proekspert integrates and modernizes production tracking, MES and ERP systems without unnecessary disruption. We connect existing equipment, applications and business systems, with changes planned around live production.

  • Production keeps running
  • Data recorded once
  • Adaptable across factories

The challenge

When production depends on software that needs to change

  • Production tracking systems need modernization without downtime. They run around the clock, so a big-bang replacement is not an option.
  • Equipment and inspection data needs to reach MES and traceability systems. Placement and inspection machines record data that doesn’t always reach the systems that track the product.
  • Changes must work across factories with different equipment and configurations. What works in one factory has to work in the next one too.
  • Operators and business systems need consistent production information. When teams re-enter orders, statuses or results, the numbers in each system drift apart.

Our services

What we engineer

Step-by-step modernization of production-critical software

We improve established manufacturing systems gradually, so updates fit around production instead of interrupting it.

Integration between shop-floor and business systems

We integrate MES, ERP and shop-floor applications so production and business data can move reliably between them, using the interfaces your systems already have.

Production tracking and traceability systems

We develop production tracking and traceability software involving SAP Manufacturing Execution (ME). We also integrate SMT and AOI machine data using IPC-CFX where supported.

Shop-floor applications connected to ERP

We build operator applications that exchange data with your ERP, so information is recorded once and reaches the people who use it.

Case studies

Proven in production-critical environments

Technologies

C#, .NET, SAP Manufacturing Execution (ME)

Client need

From 2016, Proekspert streamlined the electronics assembly company’s 24/7 production tracking system and operator workflows, step by step, into a stable, reconfigurable and globally scalable IT infrastructure.

Solution at a glance

  • 24/7 operation maintained. We delivered system improvements gradually, so updates never interfered with the work of the assembly lines.
  • Scalable to group factories in different regions. The traceability system was improved step by step and proved universal enough to implement in other Enics factories.

Technologies

MS SQL · Azure · ASP.NET · Angular · ERP integration

Client challenge

OSHINO wanted to improve electronics assembly efficiency, reduce manual reporting and help operators work more effectively as a team.

What we built

Yoshi, an ERP-integrated operator application with real-time performance tracking, assembly times, error logs and paperless workflows.

Results

Paperless planning and reporting. Production managers can identify recurring errors within a shift. Operator engagement increased by 100%, according to the published case.

FAQ

What can stay, what needs to change?

Not necessarily. We first assess your existing systems and their interfaces. Where they can stay, we focus on integration, extension and modernization.

Yes. We connect data from SMT placement machines and automated optical inspection (AOI) systems to production tracking systems, using industry standards such as IPC-CFX where the equipment supports them. The approach depends on your equipment and existing software.

Yes, by changing it incrementally. At Enics, we improved a 24/7 production tracking system step by step, and updates did not interfere with the assembly lines.

Our focus is custom software engineering: integration, extension and modernization around the platforms you have chosen.
