Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about YAFE MES Platform implementation and benefits.
What is MES and how does it differ from ERP?
MES (Manufacturing Execution System) manages real-time production floor operations, while ERP handles business-level planning and finance. YAFE MES bridges the gap, capturing shop floor data and feeding it to your ERP system. MES provides minute-by-minute visibility; ERP provides strategic planning.
How much can MES improve OEE?
Typical improvements range from 15 to 25% OEE increase within the first year. Mahindra improved OEE from 62% to 84% (22% gain) through complete digitization of their assembly line. Improvements come from reduced downtime, better resource allocation, and faster problem identification.
Can YAFE MES integrate with our existing systems?
Yes. YAFE MES integrates with SAP, Oracle, Infor, and other major ERP systems. We support standard protocols like OPC-UA, Modbus, Ethernet/IP, and can connect to any PLC or industrial controller. Integration typically takes 4 to 8 weeks.
What data does MES collect and how is it used?
MES collects machine status, production counts, cycle times, downtime reasons, operator actions, quality data, and material tracking. This data enables real-time dashboards, predictive maintenance, root cause analysis, and compliance reporting. All data is stored securely and can be exported for analysis.
How long does MES implementation take?
Typical implementation takes 60 to 90 days from kickoff to go-live. This includes system design, hardware installation, PLC and machine integration, operator training, and parallel run testing. Phased rollout across multiple lines can extend the timeline.
Is YAFE MES cloud-based or on-premise?
YAFE MES can be deployed either on-premise or in the cloud, depending on your security and connectivity requirements. On-premise deployments work in air-gapped environments. Cloud deployments offer remote monitoring and easier scaling across multiple facilities.
