About MES-LAB

MES-LAB was founded by Eyal Tal, a senior consultant and system architect specializing in Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) and Industry 4.0 integration. With a career that began in 1985, Eyal brings nearly four decades of experience designing, developing, and deploying digital manufacturing systems that transform complex production environments into intelligent, data‑driven operations.

Through MES-LAB, Eyal has led projects across Europe, the United States, and Israel, helping factories achieve real-time visibility, process automation, and operational excellence. His approach uniquely combines technical depth with hands‑on industrial insight, bridging the gap between plant‑floor control and enterprise‑level business systems.

What We Do

MES-LAB delivers end-to-end solutions that empower manufacturing organizations to monitor, analyze, and optimize every stage of production—from raw material handling to final product delivery.

• Design and implementation of full MES architectures
• Integration between MES, ERP, and PLC systems
• Advanced data collection, analytics, and visualization
• Development of tailored HMI and SCADA solutions (Citect / AVEVA Plant SCADA)
• Implementation of industrial communication protocols (MQTT, OPC‑UA, Modbus, Euromap)
• Energy monitoring and process‑efficiency optimization
• Industry 4.0 readiness and digital transformation consulting

A Holistic, Secure Approach

Operational Excellence and OEE

One of MES-LAB’s core strengths lies in helping manufacturers quantify and continuously improve performance through OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) analysis. By integrating machine data, production orders, and downtime tracking within the MES environment, OEE becomes a real-time KPI that reflects the true productivity of each line, cell, or plant.

MES-LAB’s OEE framework goes beyond simple availability or speed calculations—it provides contextual intelligence by linking each deviation or loss directly to its root cause. This enables managers and operators to identify hidden inefficiencies, prioritize improvement actions, and measure the tangible impact of process changes.

From automatic collection of run/stop events and shift performance dashboards to advanced analytics that highlight recurring bottlenecks, MES-LAB ensures that OEE becomes not just a number—but a strategic decision-making tool driving continuous improvement and sustainable competitiveness.

Beyond MES, Eyal’s expertise extends into IT infrastructure, networking, and cybersecurity, ensuring that every system designed by MES-LAB is robust, scalable, and protected—from the shop floor to the cloud. This integrated perspective enables manufacturers to achieve seamless data flow, operational stability, and long‑term sustainability.

Our Philosophy

Every MES-LAB project embodies Eyal’s lifelong commitment to technological excellence, operational reliability, and innovation that delivers measurable value. By combining engineering precision with business understanding, MES-LAB transforms manufacturing data into decisions—and decisions into results.
