Manufacturing Execution System
Purpose-built for the plant it runs on, and orchestrated with the plan that drives it
Trusted by the World’s Leading Companies
Bad-fit ERP, legacy platforms, and homegrown tools weren’t built to scale with a high-mix, high-complexity plant, and they can’t keep pace with what the shop floor demands today.
That leaves plant leaders exposed: responsible for a facility that has to be ready for a production ramp or an audit at any moment, while running on systems that are aging out, disconnected, or built by someone who’s no longer around to explain them.
Eyelit’s MES is purpose-built for the plant it runs on. It provides the full representation of everything required to keep the plant compliant and productive, from routings and lots to labor, machines, and materials, with Agent EyeQ built into the layer underneath to cut the manual effort behind reports and root cause.

Differentiating Capabilities
- 01
True Visibility of Labor Productivity
Track complex labor scenarios, skills, time, and true manufacturing cost in one integrated system, so labor is never the blind spot in your plant’s real cost.
Read more → - 02
Rapid Deployment and Fast Return on Investment
Configuration-driven implementation gets you live fast and scales incrementally, without an army of consultants or six-figure risk.
Read more → - 03
Model Your Plant’s Real Complexity, No Coding Required
Configure workflows, resources, quality, and compliance to match your plant’s actual complexity, with built-in change control instead of custom code only one person understands.
Read more → - 04
Live-Synced With Your Production Plan
MES executes against the schedule your plan sets, enforcing hard constraints and balancing soft constraints in real time as materials move and conditions change on the floor.

Key Solutions
Process Definition
Define highly detailed and complex manufacturing processes through an intuitive graphical user interface, including parallel and conditional flows and all data required for planning, scheduling and execution. Fully configurable without coding with validated change control.
Live Execution Against Your Production Schedule
MES executes the schedule built in Eyelit’s APS, feeding live labor, machine, and material data back so the plan stays accurate as constraints shift, materials move, and priorities change on the floor.
Real-Time Paperless Production Visibility
Digitize shop-floor operations with electronic work lists, digital work instructions, and real-time data capture. Live dashboards and alerts provide immediate visibility of production status, performance and priorities without relying on paper or spreadsheets
Asset Performance Management
Monitor and optimize equipment performance with real-time OEE tracking, downtime analysis, and automatic machine data acquisition. Manage tools and maintenance activities while identifying bottlenecks and performance losses across production assets.
Quality and Compliance Management
Embed quality and compliance throughout manufacturing execution with SPC, non-conformance management, CAPA, document management, and full track-and-trace. Configurable validation workflows manage process definition change control, and blockchain-supported electronic controlled history records provide immutable audit trails supporting regulations such as ITAR, FDA, and ISO.
Manufacturing KPIs and Performance Analytics
Monitor manufacturing performance from strategic board-level outcomes to daily operational drivers across quality, compliance, cost, and delivery. Real-time dashboards and analytics deliver the right insights to the right people at the right time, enabling continuous improvement and faster decision-making.
Labor Management
Manage workforce skills, availability, time, attendance, and pay while tracking labor utilization and productivity. Measure complex labor scenarios including shared work across multiple operators and concurrent jobs to ensure accurate performance and cost visibility.
Inventory and Materials Management
Manage materials, sub-assemblies and finished goods with full traceability, item genealogy, kitting and controlled production dispatch. Support regulated label printing with validated data and automated generation to ensure compliant identification and tracking across the manufacturing process.
Real Results with the right MES
In Control Production
Eyelit’s MES is built for high-mix, high-complexity plants, minimizing downtime and keeping production in control instead of reactive.
Regulatory Compliance
Built-in support for FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and 21 CFR Part 820, eDHR, and other regulatory frameworks means audits are met with a full record, not paperwork gaps.
Mobile Access
Decision-makers get real-time alerts, KPIs, and production data on the go, so they can act on what’s happening now, not what was true an hour ago.
One Accurate Picture
MES brings manufacturing processes together across every stage, replacing paper and disconnected systems with one accurate, live picture of the shop floor.
Built to Scale
Run a single facility or a global multi-site operation and grows module by module, so you add what’s missing without replacing what already runs the plant.
Business Support as a Service (BSaaS)
An MES that keeps pace with your floor, because our engineers are on it.
Embedded engineers
- Model your routings, recipes, work instructions, and data collection plans directly in Eyelit MES
- Connect equipment, ERP, PLM, and quality systems so traceability runs end to end
- Extend workflows for new products, new lines, and new sites without waiting on a change-order queue
Ongoing operational support
- Maintain product, process, and equipment master data as engineering changes land
- Keep validated configurations and eDHR/genealogy records audit-ready for FDA, IATF 16949, and AS9100
- Monitor system health, tune performance, and handle administration so your team runs production, not software
Same system. Different jobs.
The only thing that changes is who’s holding the wheel. Same tools, same governance, deployed to match the task at hand.
Helps you do your job better
Sits next to the operator. Suggests, drafts, recommends, and executes on request. The user stays in charge at every step.
- Drafts dispositions, RCAs, and schedule changes for review
- Surfaces relevant operational data on demand — no dashboards to build
- Walks junior engineers through unfamiliar tasks
- Accelerates routine work for experienced operators
Who’s holding the wheel
You act on the agent’s suggestions. It drafts, you decide.
