Manufacturing Execution System (MES) & Connectivity

Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) represent the core layer that connects shop floor operations with enterprise systems. This workshop provides a practical introduction to MES fundamentals, the ISA-95 standard, and modern industrial connectivity architectures such as OPC UA, MQTT, and Unified Namespace (UNS).
Participants will gain a clear understanding of how MES enables real-time visibility, production control, and seamless data integration across manufacturing environments.

       Target Audience: 

•        Manufacturing professionals, engineers, IT/OT teams, automation specialists, and decision-makers involved in production systems and digital transformation initiatives.
•       Program Learning Outcomes        

By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

• Understand the role of MES in Industry 4.0 and digital manufacturing
• Identify core MES functions and their operational impact
• Apply ISA-95 concepts for structured system integration
• Understand modern industrial connectivity approaches
• Develop a high-level MES integration and connectivity roadmap
