MES for discrete manufacturing
Built for discrete manufacturers who make complex products in many variants.
Discrete manufacturers produce everything from precision optics and electronics to aerospace assemblies and industrial machinery. ProcessIQ is the MES built specifically for them, from a single plant to many.
Illustrative
The sector
A buoyant sector. A complex reality.
Discrete manufacturing is a thriving, diverse sector. But meeting customer demand while keeping full audit trails across many variants, and often multiple plants, makes production management complex and time-consuming.
Custom means complex
Shorter lead times, more customisation and a complete audit trail required for every product.
Variants multiply
Configured products and frequent change mean more to manage on every line.
Global footprints
Many manufacturers run plants in several countries, each with its own systems and ways of working.
Sound familiar?
The challenges discrete manufacturers share.
- Paper build packs and spreadsheets on the shop floor Digital, revision-controlled work instructions at every station
- A new document for every product variant One master instruction configured across every variant
- Quality issues found at final test, or by the customer Quality data captured and issues resolved at the station
- ERP, shop floor and reporting that don’t talk to each other One source of truth, connected to your ERP and reporting tools
The game is changing
Smart manufacturing is raising expectations of every system on the shop floor.
Demand for digital transformation keeps growing. As production environments mature, industrial IoT, AI, robotics and machine learning are moving onto the shop floor, and discrete manufacturers now expect much more from the systems that run it.
Interoperability
Your MES has to work with everything around it.
Built on the ISA-95 standard, with APIs and ready-made connectors for ERP, reporting tools and your data warehouse.
Data and insights →AI readiness
AI is only as good as the data it learns from.
Structured, standards-based production data that AI can use, with AI Ingestion available today and more on our roadmap.
About AI Ingestion →Trust and governance
Customers and auditors expect proof, not paperwork.
Revision control, approvals, access control and audit-ready records, with security and privacy detail in our Trust Centre.
Governance and compliance →Beyond MES
The shop floor is becoming a connected technology environment.
ProcessIQ connects to the wider technology in your plants, from ERP and reporting to shop-floor integration.

Why ProcessIQ
An MES designed specifically for discrete manufacturing.
Generic systems struggle with high-mix, low-volume and configure-to-order production. ProcessIQ was built for it: many variants, many stations and many plants, connected from the shop floor to the boardroom.
Complex production management
Digital work instructions, variants and production orders for every station.
