FAQ

What is an MES?

The Manufacturing Execution System enables networking between people and machines. This guarantees higher productivity and more efficient production.
An MES links the business level with the store floor level and thus ensures full data integration.
The progress of your production is documented and visualized in real time.

Why COAGO?

The COAGO Manufacturing Execution System (MES) is precisely tailored to the needs and requirements of your production. It doesn't matter whether you produce film, paper, cardboard or non-wovens.

MES vs. Excel

Microsoft Excel quickly reaches its limits as a production planning and evaluation tool.
Production planning and changes at short notice are easily possible in an MES without major effort. And all this taking into account the delivery dates.
An Excel file can only be edited by one person at a time, the MES is multi-user capable.
Complex evaluations, such as the overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), runs in the background with an MES and without additional programming.

What does an MES cost?

Of course, it depends on the scope of the project, which is why this question cannot be answered in general terms.
COAGO MES is tailored to your needs and requirements. The advantage for you: You decide which features you need and what your MES will look like.
In addition to the implementation costs, you should plan for annual maintenance and support investments. You can also configure these according to your wishes and requirements.
Of course, we are always at your side as a competent partner.

Does COAGO have a modular architecture?
