We began our MES evaluation with the support of an MES system integrator. This created some problems, as we unfortunately didn't have independent advice. Fortunately, we were able to recruit Steffen as a neutral and vendor-independent MES consultant for our project. With him, we had the right partner at our side, with whom we could clarify all our questions and also clarify the process. He contributed his extensive MES and IT automation experience and a common thread, allowing us to make our MES selection in a targeted and successful manner. Thanks to this thorough preparatory work, we were able to implement the selected MES system into our global production in a very short time. Steffen also provided us with advice during the implementation phase. We are very satisfied with our successfully implemented MES project, which today represents an important step towards Industry 4.0 for our company.
