Fitfactory MES - Manufacturing Execution System

Fitfactory’s Manufacturing Execution System (MES) is a next-generation solution that brings machine monitoring, advanced production scheduling, and shop floor data capture into a single, unified application—or can be deployed module-by-module to suit organisational needs.

This MES delivers full operational visibility and control by automating data sync, real-time work-in-progress tracking, and comprehensive audit traceability. The result: reduced waste, improved delivery performance, and increased capacity, all without the need for new machinery. The system operates seamlessly across desktop, mobile, and tablet platforms and connects effortlessly with ERP/MRP systems via open API integration.

At its core is Machine Monitoring, which tracks machine status and performance in real time. A digital shop-floor layout with colour-coded indicators (green for running, red for idle/off, grey for no data) gives at-a-glance insight, while instant alerts and reason-coded downtime notifications drive prompt action and predictive maintenance.

The Production Scheduler module enables intelligent, constraint-aware job sequencing, prioritising production based on capacity, resource availability, and order commitments to optimise delivery performance, minimise bottlenecks, and boost throughput.

The Shop Floor Data Capture (SFDC) module connects operators to the system, delivering job instructions, drawings, and tooling or quality requirements in real time. It captures labour data—clocking in/out, planned vs actual times, WIP updates—ensuring traceability and enabling managers to track progress immediately and accurately.

Fitfactory’s MES offers a powerful combination: a single app delivering enhanced machine uptime, smarter scheduling, and digitalised shop-floor operations. With easy deployment, mobile accessibility, and seamless integration, it equips SMEs to run leaner, smarter, and more responsive factories.
