XPRIMER.MES: the MES system for monitoring the execution of plans with up to 500,000 operations
XPRIMER.MES is a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) built and continuously developed by eq system for manufacturers that need an up-to-date, reliable view of production execution. It brings together data on orders, operations, machines, materials, quality, workstation staffing and working time in a single environment, while configurable processes, screens and reports let you tailor the solution to the specifics of your plant.
The system records the progress of orders and operations, changeovers, downtime and scrap, displays plan execution on a Gantt chart, monitors OEE and traceability, and enables automatic machine data collection via XPRIMER.IoT. It can run as a standalone solution or as part of the XPRIMER platform, and integrates with other systems such as ERP and APS.

Monitor OEE in Real Time
XPRIMER.MES collects the data needed to calculate OEE for a specific machine or an entire department, and presents the result and its individual components in a clear, graphical format.
As a key metric that tracks availability, performance and the quality of manufactured products, OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) gives you a complete picture of how effective your production equipment is. It provides the basis for further analysis and for assessing the potential to increase productivity.
Machine Integration via IoT
Using the IoT module and the OPC UA standard, XPRIMER.MES automatically collects machine data on start-ups and stops, as well as on completed output, energy consumption and micro-stoppages, reducing manual reporting by operators. Two-way communication via OPC UA places XPRIMER.MES within an Industry 4.0 architecture, enabling both data reading and remote control of devices.
The extended functionality of XPRIMER.IoT enables integration with devices such as EBS industrial printers and Radwag and Axis scales, automating labelling and weighing directly at production workstations.
The OPC UA standard ensures secure, scalable and vendor-independent communication with devices.
Direct machine readings make data more reliable and shorten the time it takes to collect it. The collected information can be passed on to APS, WMS, CMMS and ERP systems.
Traceability: Track Products Down to the Batch or Single Unit
XPRIMER.MES records product genealogy, from the raw material batch through each operation and its process parameters to the finished product, down to the batch or single unit. If a non-conformity is detected, it lets you trace the production history and identify which materials, batches and process parameters are affected.
The system also records the flow of materials between successive production stages, as well as above-standard consumption entered by staff, assigning this information to the correct batch. The data collected supports quality control processes.
Within the XPRIMER platform, users also have access to current stock levels of work in progress.
Gantt Chart: Adjust Schedules on the Fly
XPRIMER.MES displays the execution of orders and operations on a Gantt chart, so users can see delays and respond to changes as they occur during production. This makes it possible to dynamically adapt plans to changing shop floor conditions, resource availability and production priorities, helping to avoid downtime and limit the impact of unexpected events on order fulfilment.
Editing options include intuitive drag-and-drop of tasks along the timeline, assigning tasks to resources and quick changes to the structure of the plan. This way of working lets you reorganise schedules in an instant, without having to build them from scratch.
A clear visualisation of production stages, complete with status and progress indicators, gives you full control over the process. Users can monitor team performance, analyse resource load and respond quickly to changes. The result? Less downtime, greater flexibility and the confidence that production is running to plan, even when conditions change rapidly.
Track and Settle Production Staff Working Time
XPRIMER.MES lets you record all production activities performed by employees (clock-in/clock-out, and the start/end of operations, downtime and changeovers). It also makes it possible to record all non-production activities (e.g. cleaning the shop floor).
This information can be used to account for employee time, for example when calculating pay or bonuses, or for performance reviews.
Manage Production Execution End to End
XPRIMER.MES provides an up-to-date view of production execution down to individual operations, and lets operators record data directly on the shop floor: on a tablet, smartphone or industrial terminal.
XPRIMER.MES can run as a standalone solution or as part of the complete production control cycle. It combines information on process flow and order progress with data on the status and working time of production resources. This data is then made available for production planning, process engineering management, cost accounting, material kitting, maintenance and tool room management.
This makes XPRIMER.MES one component of a comprehensive production management system.
Electronic Documentation
XPRIMER.MES helps control the flow of documents between departments and employees, and serves as a repository for work instructions, procedures, recipes, diagrams and production drawings. It can also display video content to support operators as they carry out operations.
XPRIMER.MES can also connect to external file servers and cloud folders where drawings and process instructions are stored.
Personalised Reports
XPRIMER.MES provides data for reports on machines, employees, orders and routings, and lets you tailor how this data is presented to each user’s needs. Once integrated with ERP, APS or CMMS, reports can combine information from different areas of the business.
This way, XPRIMER.MES supports better management across your manufacturing company.
Intuitive Use on Any Device
XPRIMER.MES lets operators record production progress directly on the shop floor: on a tablet, mobile device or industrial terminal, using screens tailored to their role and working conditions.
Through a responsive interface, operators report completed operations, log downtime, confirm order completion and enter quality data. Simple, intuitive operation shortens the time it takes to get started with the system and reduces the risk of errors.
Recording information at the point of work speeds up access to data and gives you greater control over production. Mobile access also lets you monitor processes and respond to deviations in real time, wherever you are.
Make Better Decisions with Full Visibility into Production History
XPRIMER.MES gives you browser-based access to up-to-date data on machine status, order execution, materials and employee activity, wherever you are. It helps you identify available resources faster, respond to changes in plan execution and compare routing data with how operations actually run.
With real-time monitoring, you can:
- Quickly identify available resources, so you can use them better and avoid downtime.
- Respond to changes in the production plan based on real data from the shop floor.
- Compare routing data with the actual course of operations, helping you optimise processes and improve planning accuracy.
XPRIMER.MES doesn’t just collect data. It presents it in a clear and useful way, supporting both day-to-day operational and strategic decisions. The result? Greater control, faster decisions and the full potential of your production put to use.
XPRIMER.MES in the XPRIMER Ecosystem and Integration with ERP, ASPROVA APS and Industrial Automation
XPRIMER.MES can run in a single environment with XPRIMER.WM, XPRIMER.CMMS and other solutions, including those for tool room management and process engineering. It also exchanges data with ERP systems, ASPROVA APS, third-party WMS systems and production automation.
Within the XPRIMER platform, the system connects production execution with production warehouse management in XPRIMER.WM, maintenance in XPRIMER.CMMS, tool room management (XPRIMER.TCS) and production process engineering (XPRIMER.TCW). Integration with external systems can cover orders, routing data, schedules, materials and master data, while the data sent back includes information on actual production progress, working time, material consumption, quality and resource utilisation. The data exchange method is tailored to your system architecture and data volumes, and can use an API or an intermediate database. The connection with automation and production equipment is supported by XPRIMER.IoT.
