Be able to interconnect with other tools and platforms

Extensibility is a software engineering and systems design principle where a software package takes future growth into consideration. Although the Manufacturing Execution System EZ-MES comes with a very extensive range of functions and feature, it also supports the seamless adding of specialized software extensions. 

EZ-MES extensions for connecting to other tools and platforms

EZ-MES connector extensions can be used to connect this Manufacturing Execution System (MES) to:

  1. Google Apps such as Google Calender, Docs, Drive and Sheets.
  2. Business Apps such as DropBox, Jira, Office 365, SendGrid and Slack.
  3. Analytics and Reporting Apps such as Adobe Analytics, Google Analytics, Google Data Studio, JMP, Tableau and Spotfire.
  4. Data and Workflow Automation Apps such as AirTable, IFTTT, Integromat and Zapier.

 

The use of extensions turns EZ-MES into an open and flexible Manufacturing Execution System (MES) enabling future growth beyond the range of existing functions and features.

Why is change imperative?

There are a number of reasons, some of which are likely to impact every manufacturing company:

  • High more custom product mix is becoming a fact of life. This results in a complex mix of operations and an explosion of information.
  • Time to market must shrink, you should be able to implement new products fast and handle engineering changes effectively.
  • Government regulations are increasing, requiring manufacturers to keep more detailed records and genealogy for every product.
