DEFINE01
Definition
Create shared manufacturing definitions for products, routings, and execution rules
02 / MES / MOM
A manufacturing operations system does more than digitize paperwork. It turns product and process definitions into executable work orders and operations, then feeds operation completions, quality results, and exceptions back into planning.

01 / OPERATING MODEL
Not a module list,
but a connected, ongoing production workflow.
Work orders, dispatch, traceability units, scheduling, and dashboards share the same product definitions and execution records. Ignition extends these connected workflows to equipment and workstations.
PLAN02
Planning
Turn production demand into work orders and schedules, checking resources and production conditions
EXECUTE03
Execution
Support production with work dispatch, barcode scanning, data collection, and error prevention
TRACE04
Traceability
Link materials, lots, serial numbers, process records, and quality results throughout production
LEARN05
Review
Trace plan attainment and quality gaps to production records
02 / MOM DOMAINS
Covering manufacturing operations,
starting where it matters most.
Start with a priority workflow, such as work order execution, lot traceability, or quality management. Establish reliable data relationships, then expand using the same manufacturing model to keep information connected.
01
Work orders and production execution
Keep planning and shop-floor progress aligned throughout the work order lifecycle: creation, release, dispatch, execution, completion, and cancellation.
02
Routings and manufacturing definitions
Maintain shared product, operation, resource, and execution rules so each work order specifies the next step and its production conditions.
03
Batches, serial numbers, and operation completion
Link each product to its materials, operations, personnel, and process results for forward and backward genealogy searches.
04
Quality and exception handling
Connect inspection, first-pass yield, quarantine, rework, scrap, and release within the production workflow.
05
Scheduling, people, and resources
Make time, crews, skills, equipment, and material constraints visible, and communicate schedule changes promptly to the shop floor.
06
Operation and plan achievement
Drill down from work order completion, output attainment, and first-pass yield to the production records behind each result.
03 / PRODUCT PROOF
Working systems,
already at work on the shop floor.
Our applications include standalone MES / MOM for manufacturing definitions, work orders, dispatch, traceability, scheduling, and plan attainment, alongside Ignition workspaces for equipment, materials, quality, genealogy, and work orders. Both approaches connect production data across the workflow.
Model around actual manufacturing processes
Support phased rollouts and future expansion
Integration with equipment, Ignition, and enterprise systems
04 / INTEGRATION
One shared production record,
from workstations to every level of decision-making.
PLCs and workstations provide live status. Ignition gives that data its production context and can host MES workspaces for shop-floor tasks. Standalone MES / MOM, PMS, and enterprise systems use the same data to coordinate operations.

MES / MOM implementation and manufacturing systems integration
Connect production plans with work orders, operations and workstations, so execution, quality and traceability share the same shop-floor records.
Manufacturing execution and operations management
Organize routing, work order dispatch, operation completion and work in progress (WIP). Connect equipment status, material readiness and quality inspection to support shop-floor control and schedule performance analysis.
Manufacturing traceability and product genealogy
Link serial numbers, material lots, process steps and inspection results. Trace finished products back to their materials and production history, and identify products associated with a suspect lot.
Ignition MES development and ERP / MES integration
Build MES workspaces on Ignition or connect Ignition to standalone MES/MOM and ERP systems. Define work order, master data and production reporting flows around each system’s responsibilities.
Equipment effectiveness and OEE analysis
Connect equipment states, downtime reasons, production counts and quality records. Define time classifications and data sources to support overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), downtime analysis and shift performance reviews.
