Scalability

Easily adapt to organizational growth with a unified MES solution that supports change over time. Sepasoft MES expands from the edge-of-network up to a global enterprise with no rework or loss of data.

Feature	Benefit	Edge	Lite	Standard	Enterprise
Integrates with Enterprise Architecture	Any version of OEE can be included in a seamless enterprise architecture allowing complete synchronization of production data and total visibility of the organization as a whole.				n/a
MES Server Health Monitoring	Detect and resolve system issues before they cause loss of production with out-of-the-box health monitoring tools.
Unlimited Lines per Site Licensing	Roll out an MES implementation across your entire site without significant licensing costs or hidden fees. Unlike alternatives, a Sepasoft site license includes unlimited lines and machines.
No-Nonsense Licensing	As your organization grows, scale your MES system without having to purchase more capacity. Users, screens, reports, and field device connections are unlimited within a site license
IIoT/MQTT Functionality	Prevent the loss of historical data, optimize network bandwidth, and improve security by capitalizing on IIoT, with built-in MQTT and OPC/UA support.
Multiple Site Production Data Synchronization	Improve visibility and reliability throughout the enterprise by easily sharing schedules, production results, and more across multiple sites and servers. With out-of-the-box functionality, integration labor and custom coding are significantly reduced.
Multiple Site Configuration Synchronization	Simplify the configuration process with automatic synchronization across multiple sites and servers. Minimize duplicate entry, misconfigurations, and other entry mistakes without custom coding.

High Configurability

Customize system configuration to meet the unique requirements of your organization.

Feature	Benefit	Edge	Lite	Standard	Enterprise
Automatic, Manual, or Hybrid Data Collection	Reduce operator workload with automatic data collection, with the option to collect valuable details manually. With the flexibility to collect data automatically, manually, or through a hybrid process, all relevant OEE information is captured.
Configurable Equipment Modes	Track asset utilization by configuring user-defined equipment modes that are most meaningful to your manufacturing process. User-definable modes can be anything but typically include changeover, set up, R&D, production, maintenance, and idle.
Equipment Manager Component	Easily configure your equipment hierarchy in an intuitive representation of your plant floor. Define state, mode, and other settings unique by site, area, line, machine, and more.
Detailed Changelog	All changes made to any MES configuration are automatically recorded to help you meet the challenges of regulatory compliance. Quickly zero in on significant changes with access to a complete audit trail evidencing the location, date, type of change, responsible person, and more.
Data Export/Import Capability	Enjoy the freedom to use production data however you choose. Optionally, export and import data with external systems for further analysis or configuration.
Material Management	Keep your key performance indicators (KPIs) accurate by configuring unique rates and settings for each material-equipment combination.
Multi-Database Vendor Support	Simplify implementation by selecting the database vendor that best fits into your existing IT standards.
Artifact Management	Ensure the correct versions of materials safety data sheets (MSDS), work instructions, travelers, and more are available when needed. Attach additional data files (e.g. images, PDFs, etc.) to schedules, work orders, materials, equipment, and more.

Production Control

Achieve production goals by tracking progress and monitoring production conditions using live visual feedback.
