An MES software designed to optimize and control manufacturing operations across various industries.

Product Overview

Eyelit MES is a manufacturing execution system built for complex production environments. It coordinates and controls processes from order release to finished goods with real-time tracking, quality management, and embedded AI analytics. Manufacturers gain comprehensive traceability, mobile access to KPIs and alerts, and configurable dashboards that support faster, more informed decision-making.

Eyelit expanded into cloud MES by acquiring MESTEC, a leading multi-tenant MES/MOM platform. Alongside MES, Eyelit also provides Advanced Planning & Scheduling (APS) and Sales, Inventory & Operations Planning solutions, offering manufacturers a complete suite that connects planning, scheduling, and execution in one platform.

Easy to work with experts who have been around the block and know all the issues that commonly affect a production floor

Pros

Hidden gem. Eyelit provided a quick implementation that has been running for almost 20 years in our factory. They have continued to evolve new modules with every release that help us drive value and eliminate costly processing errors. Highly recommend

Cons

Not having this at our previous company

System is down more than it runs

June 4th, 2023 • Role: End User

At first it seemed like it would be helpful, but as time mhas gone on, we really regret making this purchase.

Pros

Easy to install, but rarely works.

Cons

System is down more than it runs. We spend more time trying to get the system working then we do working on running the equipment.

Without doubt, we can demonstrate very real savings

September 20th, 2022 • Roles: Purchaser & End User

MESTEC gave us the ability to link people to work centres. Which not only gave us the ability to ensure that the people performing tasks were appropriately qualified and ‘current’, but also gave us log-on and log-off times, from which we could capture manufacturing cost and efficiency metrics.

Without doubt, we can demonstrate very real savings. From capturing and reporting ‘as-built’ data, to faster cycle times and improved material flow, we’re a business today that runs far more efficiently, thanks to MESTEC.

Each month, we get back twenty times the cost

September 20th, 2022 • Roles: Purchaser & End User

Prior to installing the MESTEC factory management system, we reckoned that unrecovered labour costs amounted to £10-15,000 per month and was a problem that had been growing progressively as the business grew. Today GTK is entirely free of the unrecovered labour burden and, as we continue to gain efficiencies using the data MESTEC provides, we’re targeting a third year of real term cost reductions to drive our competitiveness in the market.

Each month, we get back twenty times the cost of our monthly MESTEC subscription in tangible financial value–which is impressive, and significantly exceeded our expectations.
