Get the most up-to-date information from production

What is NetSuite Manufacturing Execution System?

NetSuite’s Manufacturing Execution System (MES) provides real-time, cloud-based solutions to get the most up-to-date information from production. NetSuite offers both a traditional barcode scanner-based interface, designed for speed of data entry, and an interactive tablet app, which features a rich interface that provides unparalleled feedback about what's happening in the user's work center and/or machine.

NetSuite Manufacturing Execution System Features

Collecting information from your production facilities, regardless of location, is vital to the short-term success of your business and contributes to long-term strategic planning.

Barcoding

NetSuite Advanced Manufacturing delivers a native barcoding application that will run on any device with a browser. The app streamlines collection of the most common transactions, including labor tracking, work order completions, material movements, PO receipts and shipping. All native shop-floor-facing reports can be printed with barcodes to ensure data accuracy.

HMI Tablet

The human/machine interface (HMI) application provides an interactive work queue showing all current and future operations that are scheduled through the work center. The easy-to-use system is designed to be used in harsh manufacturing environments and can be operated while wearing gloves. The tablet records exactly what is happening during each step of the manufacturing process in real-time. Additionally, depending on the mode the user selects, it can be used by either a production supervisor recording manufacturing across multiple orders or by an individual in real-time mode.

Challenges NetSuite Manufacturing Execution System Solves

  • Inaccurate Data Entry. Record common transactions with a single scan, increasing data accuracy.
  • Incomplete Data Records. The work order console enables users on the floor to record production information, such as scrap, downtime and labor, in real-time.
  • Lack of Production Floor Visibility. Manufacturing supervisors can use the tablet to see — and track progress on — all scheduled operations throughout the work center.
