Why use an MES?
Close the Gap:







reduction of throughput times
creation of transparency
improvement in productivity
product traceability
increasing the adherence to
delivery dates
…
What are your reasons ???

MES – Central Component for Industry 4.0
„…Companies that not yet use
an MES will certainly have to
go the longer way towards
Industry 4.0, than those who
already use an MES…“

Licensing Model




Within highly automated
factories the following is agreed:
no. of PLCs = no. of operations.
All Efficiency Boosters are
counted (licensed) for all
operations.
For later extensions the discount
will be calculated based on the
total number of operations.
All necessary engineering tools
are license-free.

Hardware Architecture





Scalable due to distribution of
software processes to different servers.
Scaling the web application by using a
dispatcher and multiple servers.
Projects with large quantity structures,
> 1.000 data sources (PLCs) and > 300
web user are applied successfully.
Software processes are independent of
platforms.
Software processes may be operated
in virtual environments also.

Implementation



The decision for using a MES is the
most important milestone during the
implementation process.
The allocation of adequate internal
resources is a factor of success.
For sustainable and smooth
operations, an operation concept
(SOM) is necessary.

Operation Concept, organizational view



An implemented operation concept
is a protection of investment.
The package Software Maintenance
covers Product Management and
Release Management. The annual
rate is 16% of the license value.
Incident Management, Problem
Management and Change
Management may be contracted
within a flexible Service Level
Agreement (SLA).

Roundup and Benefits

The modular structure enables a
functional scaling as well as scaling
by quantity structures.
Legato is growing along the
functional needs and also along the
number of production inventory.

100% web based frontend and
licensing model without userlicenses allows "Zero-BudgetExtensions" of participants and user
groups.

enables smooth integration in existing
IT structures.

A well engineered concept for
operations is a long-term protection
of investment.

A detailed user management allows a
comprehensive usage in different
areas.

Multi language design (two languages
online) – available languages:
