What Sepasoft MES is
Sepasoft MES controls, tracks, and documents the transformation of raw materials into finished goods in real time. Its modules address OEE and downtime, batch procedures, traceability, statistical process control, settings and changeovers, and business connectivity. Listed capabilities also include work order and quality management, lot and serial traceability, shop-floor data capture, and real-time dashboards. The Business Connector links MES to ERP and other higher-level business systems, while Web Services supports REST and SOAP. The SAP ERP interface provides native, two-way connectivity to on-premises SAP systems without additional middleware. MES Enterprise Central Server combines data from multiple site-level MES installations for enterprise reporting and analysis. Sepasoft says its site licensing covers unlimited lines, machines, and users. The modules require purchase of Inductive Automation’s Ignition Platform. For visualization, they can be paired with Ignition Vision or Perspective, though Batch Procedure is listed as compatible with Perspective but not Vision. Deployment is described as hybrid, with API, Linux, self-hosted, web, and Windows platforms. Unlicensed modules run in demo mode for two hours at a time, and the demo can be restarted any number of times. Pricing varies by module and license type.
