MES Solution Capabilities:
01. Schedule deliveries
With Novacura Flow’s manufacturing execution system (MES) solution, you can plan material requisitions based on production orders and current stock levels. Using the integrated B2B Portal, suppliers confirm delivery schedules and book unloading time slots—ensuring a smooth material flow from planning to production.
02. Connect internal logistics with the shop floor
Your internal logistics team can use the same mobile MES application as shop floor operators. All material delivery requests, returns, and packaging movements are instantly visible, and production orders update in real time as soon as logistics confirm delivery. These manufacturing execution system functions eliminate delays and keep production synchronized.
03. Optimize picking paths
Picking across large warehouses can be complex, but Novacura Flow’s MES includes a mobile WMS that optimizes routes based on location, weight, unloading sequence, or expiration dates. Operators use barcode scanners for accuracy and speed. These manufacturing execution system features for JIT environments reduce wasted time, lower costs, and improve picking efficiency.
04. Work mobile and report every operation
Operators use a mobile MES application to view updated work orders, log activities, request materials, report downtime, or call for maintenance. Information flows directly into IFS or Infor M3, giving managers real-time visibility. This manufacturing execution system advantage helps managers react quickly, optimize OEE, and ensure continuous improvement.
05. Incorporate maintenance and reduce downtime
In Novacura Flow, production and maintenance operate within one MES environment. Maintenance teams receive automatic notifications when downtime is detected, allowing them to act before production is disrupted. This tight integration is one of the key manufacturing execution system advantages, reducing MTTR and improving overall equipment availability.
06. Track actual data & optimize the entire process
With Novacura MES Solution, production efficiency can be precisely measured. Data is gathered directly at the source—from mobile applications used by operators to signals coming from connected devices.
It includes industrial connectors (BLE, OPC-UA, PLC, RFID) that enable seamless integration with machines and other systems. These integrations follow manufacturing execution system standards for reliable, real-time data capture and analytics, giving managers full visibility across the entire production process and enabling continuous optimization.

Manufacturing Execution System (MES) Benefits with Novacura Flow:
Interface optimized for thousands of operations per day
Our MES applications, built on Novacura Flow, are designed to run seamlessly on any device—barcode scanners, mobile phones, tablets, or desktop workstations with large screens. The interface is optimized for shop floor and warehouse operators, where every click matters. In high-volume environments, this level of ergonomics is essential in manufacturing execution system (MES) manufacturing, ensuring both speed and accuracy directly translate into higher throughput.
Ready for changes thanks to its low-code core!
Every manufacturing company has unique processes, and Novacura Flow adapts to them. Our MES solution is built on a low-code platform, meaning applications are not hard-coded: customers can easily modify, extend, or create new variants themselves. With the low-code engine, applications can be drawn like a business process, enabling rapid adaptation. This flexibility means Novacura’s manufacturing execution system software can be tailored quickly and scaled as requirements evolve—supporting both continuous improvement and long-term growth.
Integration with ERP. Deep integration!
Novacura Flow is a low-code platform designed to work hand-in-hand with your ERP system. While our MES applications handle shop floor operations, we treat ERP (such as IFS or Infor M3) as the primary system where all master data, transactions, and reports are stored. Everything done in Novacura Flow is immediately visible in ERP—thanks to specialized online connectors.
With Novacura Flow, you can think of it as an alternative, mobile, and efficient user interface for ERP. This makes it easy to adopt MES functionality without disrupting your existing ERP processes. Our bidirectional, real-time ERP connectivity is foundational to MES, ensuring that schedules, production data, and reporting stay fully synchronized.
