“When an MES system can rapidly calculate, verify, prove and archive stringent and ever-changing qualification and validation standards in a fraction of the time it takes a team of people in the document team to do the same job, efficiency alone is a standout measure of improvement.“

Modernization in global manufacturing is drawing major focus these days with an  estimated 74% of manufacturers in the U.S. reporting they plan to implement or upgrade  their MES (manufacturing execution system) technology within the next 5 years.
