MES

Manufacturing Execution System
Zero paper. Every stage, every unit.

VEST MES gives discrete manufacturers a complete digital execution layer — from the moment a work order is created to the moment the last quality sign-off is captured. Build custom workflows for every product type, enforce stage-by-stage compliance, and get real-time visibility across your entire shop floor.

Core Modules

Built around the way you actually run production.

From work-order creation through final sign-off, every module reinforces accountability at every step.

01

Work Order & Project Management

Every job starts here. Create work orders with custom fields, attach BOMs, assign templates, and configure the exact production sequence your product needs — machining to polishing to paint, or any sequence you define. Multi-level project hierarchies, role-based permissions, and status tracking from open to closed.

  • Custom work order templates with configurable fields
  • BOM attachment and part list integration
  • Multi-stage project hierarchy structure
  • Role-based access and sign-off
  • Status tracking from open to shipped
02

Workflow Engine

Your process, enforced. Configure sequential, parallel, or conditional stage routing for every product type. Stages only advance when required conditions are met — approvals collected, checklists complete, holds cleared. Full audit trail on every action.

  • Sequential, parallel & conditional routing
  • Stage gating and advancement rules
  • Supervisor approval gates
  • Rework loop routing
  • Complete timestamped audit trail
03

Stage-Level Checklists

Replace paper travelers permanently. Every production stage has its own digital checklist — required fields, photo capture, barcode and QR scanning, digital signatures, and pass/fail criteria. A stage cannot advance until every item is complete. All forms are revision-controlled.

  • Mandatory field enforcement
  • Photo and document capture per stage
  • Barcode / QR scanning
  • Digital signatures
  • Revision-controlled templates
  • Offline capability

Capture what matters at every station.

Lightweight modules that plug into your existing workflows.

Time Tracking

Time captured per station, per operator, per work order — automatic clock-in/out with full visibility into where each job spent its hours.

Unit Part List & BOM Integration

Track every part installed on every unit — used X, Y, Z parts on serial number ABC — with full BOM linkage and serial-level traceability.

Defect Counters

Live defect counts per stage, per station, per shift — surface problem patterns before they become trends.

Quality & Visibility

Quality enforced. Performance visible.

04

QA Inspections & Non-Conformances

When a unit doesn't pass, VEST handles it. Inspectors issue NCRs in one click directly from the checklist. Every NCR captures the defect type, affected stage, responsible operator, and root cause. Disposition options — rework, scrap, use-as-is — each require the appropriate sign-off level. Jobs can be placed on hold automatically until the NC is resolved.

  • One-click NCR issuance from inspection
  • Rework, scrap, and use-as-is disposition workflows
  • Containment holds with notification
  • Defect categorization and root cause tagging
  • Photo documentation of defects
  • First Pass Yield (FPY) calculated automatically
05

Operations Dashboard

A live view of your floor without leaving your desk. See every active work order, track stage progress across jobs, spot bottlenecks before they compound, and monitor quality trends in real time. Overdue alerts, cycle time analytics, and NCR summaries — all in one place.

  • Live work order status across all active jobs
  • Bottleneck and overdue alerts
  • NCR and quality trend tracking
  • Cycle time analytics
  • PDF and CSV export

The Lifecycle · Next

Connected to your full lifecycle.

Every unit completed in MES flows automatically into Commissioning with its full build record — then into Technical Services for the unit's lifetime.
