About This Software

Leading MES Software Development Company in Bhubaneswar

Swadhin IT Solutions builds manufacturing execution systems that Indian factory managers depend on every shift. We have delivered MES platforms for discrete manufacturing, process industries, job shops and assembly line operations with real-time production visibility from machine level to management level.

Our MES software is not a rebranded ERP module. It is purpose-built for the shop floor — handling operator inputs via rugged tablets, integrating with PLCs and SCADA systems, capturing cycle times automatically and providing live OEE calculations that drive continuous improvement on the factory floor.

Key Features

MES Features That Maximise Production Efficiency

Every module is engineered for real factory conditions — rugged interfaces, PLC integration and shift-based operations.

Production Scheduling

Drag-and-drop production scheduling with capacity constraints, machine availability and material readiness checks. Gantt chart view shows job sequences across work centres. Automatic rescheduling when priorities change or machines go down. Shift-wise planning with overtime visibility.

Shop Floor Tracking

Real-time production status from every work station. Operators log job start, completion and reject quantities on rugged tablets or barcode scanners. Live production counters display actual vs target output. Supervisors see bottleneck alerts and line balancing data instantly.

Learn More →

Job Card Management

Digital job cards replace paper travellers. Each job card carries the routing, BOM, quality parameters and operator instructions. Automatic time stamping at each operation. Job progress visible to planning, production and quality teams simultaneously. Batch and serial number traceability.

Machine Utilisation

Monitor machine running, idle and breakdown time in real time. Automatic data capture from PLC-connected machines or manual operator input for standalone equipment. Planned vs unplanned downtime classification with reason codes. Machine-wise utilisation reports for capital planning.

Learn More →

Quality Inspection

In-process and final inspection checklists built into the production flow. Operators cannot proceed to the next operation without quality sign-off. Defect logging with category, root cause and corrective action. SPC data collection at critical control points with automatic alerts for out-of-spec readings.

OEE Dashboard

Overall Equipment Effectiveness calculated automatically from availability, performance and quality data. Live OEE scores per machine, line and plant displayed on shop floor monitors. Drill down into the six big losses. Trend analysis shows improvement trajectories over weeks and months.

Production Planning

Visual Production Scheduling With Capacity Constraints

Our production scheduler displays all work orders on a Gantt chart across machines and work centres. Drag and drop to reschedule, split or merge jobs. The system automatically checks material availability, tooling requirements and operator skill matrix before confirming the schedule.

When a machine breaks down or a rush order arrives, the scheduler highlights affected jobs and suggests optimal rescheduling options. Shift handover reports are generated automatically with pending jobs, completed quantities and issues carried forward.

OEE Analytics

Real-Time OEE That Drives Continuous Improvement

The OEE dashboard calculates availability, performance and quality percentages for every machine in real time. Shop floor TV screens display live OEE scores so operators and supervisors see the impact of every stoppage and defect immediately.

Pareto charts of downtime reasons, reject categories and speed losses identify where improvement efforts should focus. Monthly OEE trend reports show whether your factory is getting better — with data to prove it to management and customers.

“

Before SITS built our MES, we were running production on paper job cards and Excel sheets — we never had real-time visibility. Now every machine shows live status on the shop floor TV, our OEE has gone from 58% to 76%, and our planning team can reschedule in minutes instead of hours. The quality inspection module caught defects before they reached our customer. This system paid for itself in the first quarter.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions — MES Software

Common questions from factory managers about our manufacturing execution system development services.

How much does MES software cost for a mid-size factory?

MES software cost depends on the number of machines to track, work centres, integration requirements (PLC, SCADA, ERP), production complexity and your specific manufacturing process. We provide a custom, fixed-price quote after a factory assessment. There are no monthly subscription fees — you pay once and own the system. Call us at +91 7008562317 for a free consultation and transparent quote within 4 hours.

Can the MES integrate with our existing PLC and SCADA systems?

Yes, we integrate with major PLC brands (Siemens, Allen-Bradley, Mitsubishi, Delta, Schneider) and SCADA platforms using OPC-UA, Modbus TCP, MQTT and custom protocols. For machines without PLC connectivity, we use barcode scanners, RFID readers or operator input tablets. The integration method is chosen based on your existing infrastructure to minimise hardware costs.

Will operators find the system difficult to use?

No, our shop floor interfaces are specifically designed for operators — large touch buttons, minimal text input, barcode scanning for most entries and visual indicators instead of complex forms. The interface works with gloves and in bright or dim lighting conditions. Most operators are comfortable within 2-3 shifts of hands-on training. We also support Hindi and regional language interfaces.

How is OEE calculated in your system?

OEE is calculated automatically using three components: Availability (planned production time minus downtime), Performance (actual output vs theoretical maximum) and Quality (good parts vs total parts produced). Data flows from PLC signals, operator inputs and quality inspection results. The system categorises losses into the six big losses framework for TPM initiatives.

Can the MES connect to our existing ERP system?

Yes, we build APIs to integrate with SAP, Tally, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics and other ERP systems. The MES pushes production completion data, material consumption, quality results and job costing to your ERP. Work orders and BOMs can be pulled from the ERP into the MES automatically, eliminating double entry.

How long does MES implementation take?

A basic MES with production tracking and job cards takes 8-10 weeks. A full-featured system with scheduling, OEE, quality and machine integration takes 12-16 weeks. Enterprise MES for multi-plant operations with ERP integration takes 4-6 months. We deploy in phases — tracking first, then scheduling, then analytics — so you see value quickly.

Do you provide on-site support during go-live?

Yes, for all MES projects we provide on-site support during the go-live phase — typically 1-2 weeks on the shop floor during all shifts. Our engineers work alongside your operators and supervisors to resolve issues in real time. Post go-live, we provide 3-12 months of remote support with guaranteed response times.

Is SITS based in Bhubaneswar? Can you serve factories across India?

Yes, Swadhin IT Solutions is headquartered in Bhubaneswar, Odisha. We serve manufacturing companies across India. For factories in Odisha and nearby states, we provide on-site factory assessments and go-live support. For plants in other states, we conduct initial site visits for process study and provide on-site deployment support during go-live, with ongoing remote support thereafter.
