How are global manufacturing demands reshaping MES strategy?

In a new interview with DIGITAL MANUFACTURING, our Key Account Manager Eckhard Winter explores how growing production environments, multi-site MES rollouts, and pressure for faster ROI are changing the way manufacturers approach digitalization.

From scalable implementation and quick wins to SaaS models and international growth, Eckhard shares his industry knowledge on what manufacturers should consider when building an MES strategy for the future.

Meet Theresa Rossmann, Team Leader Consulting at Industrie Informatik.

Theresa joined IIG as an IT Consultant, working directly on manufacturing IT out in the field before stepping into Assistant Team Leader Consulting and, more recently, Team Leader Consulting.

That path is exactly why she leads the way she does. Years spent consulting on real shop floors taught Theresa about the everyday realities of implementation.

Team-mentoring isn't a skill she picked up with the title. It's one she built by doing the job herself first, then helping others do it, long before she led a team of her own.

And best of all, Theresa leads the way she works: process-first, people-focused, and never far from the details that actually count on the ground.

Theresa, thank you for everything you bring to this team. We're proud to have you with us!

When a key MES user leaves, does critical shop floor knowledge leave with them?

Relying on key users creates knowledge gaps that can disrupt daily operations, slow down onboarding, and limit the adoption of new MES functionalities.

That’s where the cronetwork Academy comes in. We specialize in:
✓ Onboarding new key users
✓ Upskilling experienced teams
✓ Preparing for new modules
✓ Keeping pace with system updates

With online, in-person, and self-paced training, teams can build the skills they need to use cronetwork effectively and support continuous improvement.

Want to get ahead of the competition?
Strong MES performance starts with confident users.

LEAN and MES are hot topics in the modern-day smart factory.

One gives you the discipline, the other gives you the visibility to actually apply it.

Joachim Pfeifer's take: technology doesn't replace proven LEAN principles, it gives the people running production better information to actually apply them.

That means more consistency across every shift, not just when someone happens to walk the floor.

One third of manufacturers can't trust their OEE numbers.
That's the finding from FIR at RWTH Aachen.

One common reason: outdated cycle-time benchmarks.

As tooling, materials, and machine wear change, the real production rate changes with them.
If the benchmark doesn’t, OEE can quickly become misleading.

This is where MES makes the difference.
By automatically capturing cycle times, downtime, and machine data directly from the shop floor, an MES replaces assumptions and manual inputs with real production data.

The results?
More reliable OEE, clearer visibility into production losses, and a stronger foundation for improvement.

Meet Andreas Brinks, Head of Consulting DE at Industrie Informatik.

Andreas has been with IIG for almost 22 years, and every one of them shows up in how he leads his team today.

He started as an MES Consultant back in 2004, and stayed in that role for 13 years; implementing MES on real shop floors and working through the challenges that show up when a system is live and running.

In 2017, Andreas moved into leading Consulting Germany's team, taking everything he'd learned out in the field and turning it into how the team works.

Since 2021, as Head of Consulting DE, he's built and run a scalable delivery organization shaped by that same experience: a clear role model and a service-oriented consulting architecture that comes from actually having done the job himself.

That's what almost two decades on the floor gives you. Andreas doesn't lead from theory. He leads from having lived every part of it first.

Andreas, thank you for everything that experience has built here. We're proud to have you on the team!

Without clear responsibilities and response processes, recurring deviations continue to impact efficiency and delivery performance.

Industrie Informatik's Julian Oessenich explains how MES delivers value beyond data collection.

By connecting real-time production data with operational processes, manufacturers can identify deviations, understand their impact, and enable the right teams to take the right actions.

The results?
Faster response times and measurable improvements in OEE, quality, and delivery performance.

One person understands your home-grown MES.
But what happens if they leave?

A lot of metal fab, casting, and precision machining plants built their own MES before a standard solution could fit their process.

While the decision made sense back then, it doesn't necessarily make sense today.
Whether you're eyeing a second site or fielding an audit request for traceability data, the signs are pretty common:
→ One or two people actually understand how it works
→ Every new integration (ERP, OPC UA, cross-site data) means internal dev time
→ No roadmap except the one you write yourself

In the latest episode, Johannes Kienesberger breaks down what that ceiling looks like, and how a modular MES lets you close the gaps piece by piece.

What's your most expensive quality problem?
It's probably sitting in the scrap bin and the rework queue.

Fraunhofer IPA's research shows that more than 50% of total quality costs are internal, coming from scrap and rework.

Studies found mid-sized manufacturers carry more of that internally, while large enterprises see more of it externally.

That means if you're running a plant in the 250 to 2,000 employee range, that cost sits heavier on your side.

cronetwork MES gives you real-time visibility, shift by shift, so you can cut costs and optimize performance.
