Manufacturing Execution System (MES)
AdoMES is a professional production management solution for factories developed by AdoERP
AdoMES is a solution that combines MES and ERP, helping businesses synchronize 100% of their operations on a single software platform.
What is MES?
The MES (Manufacturing Execution System) is a production operating system software designed to manage production processes, controlling and monitoring manufacturing activities in real time.
MES acts as a bridge between the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system and the control and monitoring systems at the factory. MES helps optimize production processes, improve product quality, and enhance the operational efficiency of the factory.
What is AdoMES?
The production operating system integrated with Odoo ERP. The original Odoo software (version 17.0) still does not have an MES function, stopping at the MRP (Manufacturing Resources Planning) level, which is limited to material planning. The MRP function in Odoo allows for material deduction, inventory management, and efficient automated supply chain planning. However, Odoo MRP does not meet the requirements for planning and monitoring production activities in real time.
With experience in implementing custom MES solutions for many manufacturing plants across various industries, we have standardized and developed a powerful and flexible MES solution that meets the diverse and complex challenges of different types of factories. The MES function can be used alongside the MRP function in Odoo without any conflicts. However, once MES is implemented, there is no need to deploy MRP because MES is the next step in the development of MRP, encompassing all MRP functions but with more detailed and specific capabilities.
Enhance production efficiency with the Manufacturing Execution System (MES).
Integration and automation
AdoMES tightly integrates enterprise resource management with manufacturing execution management, helping to automate production processes from start to finish, thereby enhancing operational efficiency.
Automatically optimize the factory's machinery and equipment resources, calculate the best allocation, and assign work orders to each machine.
Real-time management
Provide real-time information about the production process, allowing managers and staff to have an overview and continuous updates on the production status, enabling quick and accurate decision-making.
Manage inventory at every stage of production, handle defective goods, and oversee the delivery and receipt of each process step.
Optimize production operations
AdoMES helps detect and minimize production issues, optimize the use of materials and labor, improve product quality, and reduce machine downtime.
AdoMES meets the requirements for both complex and simple production process planning and material standards.
Analysis and reporting
Provide powerful analytical tools that help businesses monitor performance, assess progress, and evaluate the effectiveness of each process, enabling timely adjustments to improve production efficiency.
Real-time dynamic reporting, allowing for multidimensional analysis.
Key benefits of using the AdoMES MES system include:
The AdoMES production management and operating system offers several practical benefits, such as:
Risk control
Proactively and flexibly plan production based on the resources available at the factory. Create detailed machine schedules for each machine and forecast production timelines, calculating completion times from the moment the plan is made.
Optimize production capacity
ERP production management software helps increase factory operational efficiency by easily identifying bottlenecks in resource allocation during operations and optimizing them.
Real-time visual reporting
Update production data and view real-time production reports and analyses, as each process step is accompanied by a guidance screen and real-time data updates.
Theoretical production cost
Once the BOM and production process are created, the system can calculate the theoretical production cost, allowing for a comparison with the actual production cost after the production order is executed.
Reduce defective goods
Allow for error classification statistics, detailing each type of error by process, machine, operator, and time, corresponding to machine operating parameters. This enables operators to identify the root causes, implement corrective measures, prevent recurrence, and track improvement results over time.
Manage inventory at each production stage.
Manage raw materials, semi-finished products, and finished products at each stage, oversee material flow between stages, and handle defective goods at each step of the process.
Optimize the supply chain
Automatically propose material supply based on current inventory and future production/sales plans.
Actual production cost
Track the runtime of each machine in real-time, monitor material consumption and actual material costs, while also calculating labor costs per production stage based on output, thereby accurately calculating the actual production cost.

Automatically suggest replenishment (purchasing, production, or transferring stock from other locations) when inventory is insufficient, based on replenishment rules or minimum stock levels.
Automatically generate production orders or purchase orders (PO) based on supply rules.
Automatically propose material supply in ERP.
(Hình trên: Hệ thống đề xuất tự động cung ứng vật tư)
Based on the current inventory of materials, the procurement plan, the production plan, and sales forecasts, the system automatically calculates the future inventory of each product.
Based on the supply rules established for each product, the system can automatically generate production orders, purchase requests, or purchase orders to ensure the desired inventory levels.
The configurations are flexibly applied to each product.
Overall work orders for each MES process stage.
(Hình trên: Phân bổ lệnh làm việc cụ thể chi tiết đến từng công đoạn)
Management can always view a visual and detailed production overview for each process stage in real-time. Production planners can simultaneously optimize multiple production plans based on priority or make adjustments using intuitive drag-and-drop actions.

Track and analyze NG (defective items) over time.
Manage consumable materials
(Above image: The system helps manage consumable materials)
Consumable materials are materials involved in the production process that are used up but are not part of the raw material components. For example, molds in the casting process, cutting blades in the cutting process, etc.
Consumable materials can be tracked in detail by serial number. For example, each mold in the casting process can be monitored individually for the number of cycles used, remaining lifespan, number of maintenance sessions performed, and the predicted time for the next maintenance.
Track the number of cycles that consumable materials have been used.
Automatically schedule and plan maintenance for consumable materials, with maintenance alerts when due.
Automatically schedule the replacement of consumable materials when they reach the end of their lifespan and provide alerts for replacement when the time arrives.
Calculate production cost
The MES production management and operation system allows for accurate calculation of production costs, including direct costs and the allocation of monthly overhead costs. It automatically calculates the cost of goods sold using periodic averaging, including complex allocations.
- Accurately estimate direct production costs, including material costs, machine costs, and labor costs, immediately after setting up the BOM (Bill of Materials) and production processes.
- Accurately report actual production costs for each production order based on real-time consumption, actual material usage, considering the quantity of NG (defective items), and actual labor costs.
