Those are:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Level 4: Enterprise management (ERP)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Level 3: Manufacturing operations planning (MES and MOM)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Level 2: Supervising (HMI and SCADA)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Level 1: Control (PLCs)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Level 0: Field devices<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.dmcinfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/27164716\/Automation-Pyramid-DMC-1.png\" alt=\"Diagram of the four levels of automation\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-purpose-of-the-mes-layer\">Purpose of the MES Layer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This blog series will be focusing on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dmcinfo.com\/services\/manufacturing-automation-and-intelligence\/mes-programming\">Manufacturing Execution Systems<\/a> (MES) which lives in Level 3. The main intent of the MES layer is to act as a messenger between the ERP and the SCADA and PLC\/HMI layers. For instance, in a car manufacturing firm, the ERP will have a customer order for 10 blue cars along with the design of the car model they want to build. The SCADA system will send commands and recipe data to the PLCs and acquire data while the PLCs are sending commands to the devices assembling the car. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this system, the missing functionality is taking the customer order information, scheduling it to the applicable production lines, and sending the car model specific data that is in the ERP to the control layer. This task is typically completed by the MES layer. The MES layer takes in an idea of a product and then creates a plan to execute it in the manufacturing environment. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The basic building blocks of a typical Manufacturing Execution&nbsp;System include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Create Work Orders, Part Numbers, and Recipes&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Schedule work orders&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Material tracking and traceability&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dmcinfo.com\/services\/manufacturing-automation-and-intelligence\/mes-programming\/oee-and-downtime-tracking\">Overall equipment effectiveness (OEE)&nbsp;<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Downtime tracking&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quality control and statistical process control (SPC)&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Digital work instructions&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tracking consumption of inventory and relaying that information to the ERP or WMS&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Labor management&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The lines between the different ISA-95 levels can sometimes be blurred and functionality that may be a traditional MES feature you may see in the ERP or SCADA layers. This is normal and gives you the flexibility to design your systems to best fit your processes. For example, sometimes the ERP will have work orders or SCADA may calculate OEE.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-mes-platforms\">MES Platforms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are multiple industry-wide used platforms for MES, each with their own set of features and capabilities.
