MPDV Partner & MES Expertise: Your Path to the Smart Factory
With HYDRA, MIP and FEDRA, we create the foundation for transparency, efficiency and reliable production processes – and provide end-to-end support on your journey towards a Smart Factory.
Why MES? – The Challenges of Modern Manufacturing
Industrial production is under increasing pressure:
- High product variability and time-critical supply chains
- Isolated systems, manual workarounds, Excel-based planning and paper processes
- Low OEE and unplanned downtime
- Quality requirements & full traceability
- Energy efficiency and cost pressure
MES (Manufacturing Execution System), APS (Advanced Planning and Scheduling System) and MIP (Manufacturing Integration Platform) form the essential basis for tackling these challenges in a structured way – transparent, connected and in real time.
What an MES Makes Possible – A Glimpse into Everyday Production
Shopfloor Transparency: The Graphical Machine Overview
A quick glance at the shopfloor monitor clearly shows:
- Which machines are currently running
- Which orders are being processed
- Where disruptions are occurring
Bottom line: No spreadsheets, no phone calls, no manual checks – just one single source of truth in real time.
Detecting Micro-Stops Before They Become Costly
A barcode-like machine timeline reveals:
- Numerous short micro-stops
- OEE appears acceptable – but the risk is high
Bottom line: An MES automatically records and classifies disruptions, identifies patterns and triggers sustainable improvements. Without it, micro-stops often remain unnoticed.
Stable Planning – Even When Priorities Change Last Minute
A last-minute rush order doesn’t have to lead to chaos:
- An MES automatically synchronises the updated schedule with:
- Shopfloor, logistics, maintenance and production supervisors.
Bottom line: One plan for everyone = a stable, reliable and on-time production.
Conclusion: An MES creates transparency, predictability and efficiency – exactly where uncertainty and manual processes still dominate today.

Third-party systems 5
To ensure future-proof integration of third-party systems into the MES, the introduction of the MIP as an integration system can be the solution. The MIP enables the integration of third-party systems and customized applications into the MES, whereby the so-called mApps play an important role. As a partner of MPDV, we not only establish direct contact, but also support you in the development of interfaces. Only through optimal connection to your production environment and tailor-made applications you can get the most out of your data.
