OracleAVEVA MES (Manufacturing Execution System) is a plant-floor execution platform aimed at batch-oriented, make-to-order and repetitive/hybrid manufacturers, including consumer goods and specialty chemicals producers. It provides a composable, modular operator interface for paperless work management, real-time production control, quality management and multi-site visualization, either on-premises or in a hybrid-cloud configuration.
The platform's functionality spans batch and recipe management, performance/operations/quality management, model-driven MES configuration, and production management. It monitors OEE KPIs and schedule adherence in real time, automates statistical process control (SPC) sample plans, and provides genealogy and traceability for investigations.
AVEVA MES sits operationally between enterprise planning systems and the shop floor. AVEVA Enterprise Integration (EI) is the dedicated middleware that synchronizes master data (recipes, BOMs, quality specs) and exchanges production orders, purchase orders, material definitions, inventory and execution results bi-directionally with ERP systems such as SAP and Oracle, using XML messaging, Microsoft Message Queue (MSMQ), file drop, SQL or CSV transport, with store-and-forward continuity if the ERP connection drops.
