MES-Definitionen

In order to ensure complete traceability of job-related production data, it is usually also necessary to record the material batches with which the order was manufactured. If more than one batch is used for a production order, each of them must be clearly identified. In this case, the MES records not only the order data but also the unique batch data. During this process, it is also frequently checked whether the batch that is used has also been released for the upcoming order.

Machine and production data can also be analysed batch-related afterwards. In the event of quality defects in the material, the batch assignment also allows tracing whether further production orders could possibly also be affected by this defect.
