Instead of OpenMES
OpenMES alternatives
OpenMES brings core execution tools together for small and mid-sized manufacturers: real-time production monitoring, automatic OEE calculation, work orders, maintenance, and drag-and-drop scheduling. It also covers LOT and serial traceability, inline SPC quality control, audit trails, and machine links through OPC UA, MQTT, and Modbus. Its free Community plan is intended for single-site operations, and it can be self-hosted; mobile access is through an installable progressive web app on iOS and Android tablets, with offline work and sync.
