MES-LAB has been involved in the design, development, and implementation of advanced MES and industrial IT systems across a broad spectrum of industries — including plastics, energy, food processing, logistics, and IoT innovation. Each project reflects a combination of deep technological expertise, practical manufacturing insight, and commitment to operational excellence. Below are selected highlights representing diverse challenges successfully addressed through tailored MES-LAB solutions.
Each solution is built on the same philosophy that defines MES-LAB: bridging the gap between industrial reality and digital intelligence.
Comprehensive specification, development, and worldwide deployment of a complete MES ecosystem across 22 production plants. The solution integrates real-time, bidirectional communication between SAP ERP, MES, and HMI/SCADA layers — ensuring complete synchronization between production planning, management, and control.
End-to-end digitalization of meat processing operations — from intake to packaging and cold storage. Manages multiple towers on a continuous production line, calculates OEE and quality KPIs per tower, detects bottlenecks, and enables automatic load balancing across lines.
Centralized monitoring and control platform for multi-station fuel networks. Includes automated stock management, reconciliation of pump and tank readings, alarm management, and live dashboards to improve transparency and safety.
Real-time production tracking, automatic quality grading, and machine integration for high-speed sorting lines. Custom interfaces with optical sorters and conveyors ensure full traceability, yield analytics, and energy-efficient throughput.
Development of a dedicated MES for continuous high-speed extrusion lines providing full material traceability, recipe control, and performance analytics. Integrated downtime tracking and predictive maintenance reduce waste and improve OEE.
Integrated control and inventory systems that streamline packaging operations, manage logistics, and monitor cold-room energy consumption. MES-LAB’s approach combines process efficiency with sustainability for measurable energy savings.
Deployment of a dedicated MES for job scheduling, press monitoring, and resource utilization. Provides dynamic dashboards and shift performance reports, reducing setup time and increasing throughput.
Implementation of a smart-sensor network and connectivity infrastructure for real-time process visibility and predictive maintenance. Earned a €3M annual innovation grant from the Italian Ministry of Industry for excellence in digital transformation.
Real-time measurement, visualization, and analysis of energy consumption across multiple facilities. Identifies inefficiencies, correlates consumption with production activity, and delivers actionable insights to reduce costs and emissions.
Comprehensive material-tracking platform interfacing directly with dosing units, silos, and production machines. Automatically captures actual consumption and reports in real time to SAP, ensuring precise cost allocation and full traceability.
Full MES solution managing machine interfaces, batch tracking, and productivity reporting. Improved order visibility, automated process control, and detailed performance metrics reduce downtime and enhance operational flow.
Unified MES and data collection platform connecting production lines, inspection stations, and quality checkpoints. Delivered global standardization for a leading tools manufacturer, improving transparency and traceability.
Computer-vision-assisted picking and fulfillment fully integrated with Oracle ERP. Automated item verification and warehouse optimization reduced manual labor (~30 employees) and improved accuracy and speed.
