Classic MES vs. No-code MES: Two visions for digitizing Production

The digitalization of workshops and industrial processes often involves implementing an MES (Manufacturing Execution System). Historically, these solutions have been offered in the form of traditional software, sometimes very powerful, but also rigid and time-consuming to deploy.

Today, a new generation of solutions is emerging: the no-code MES, which combines MES standards with the flexibility of a no-code platform.

At Visionsoft, we have chosen this path: offering a customizable no-code MES that adapts to each industrial context, while reducing costs and deployment times.

The Limitations of a Traditional MES

A traditional MES provides rich functionality: production tracking, traceability, manufacturing order management, quality, maintenance, etc. However, it has several limitations:

• Rigidity: The functional scope is defined in advance. Any upgrade or customization requires specific, time-consuming, and costly development.
• Timeframe: Implementing a traditional MES often takes months, or even years, for multi-site projects.
• Total cost: Beyond the license, integration, customization, and maintenance represent a significant investment.
• Limited adoption: Some generic features don’t always align with realities on the ground, which can hinder team buy-in.

No-code MES: Flexibility and speed

A no-code MES radically changes the game:

• Unlimited customization: Each workshop can adapt its screens, workflows, and forms without coding.
• Speed ​​of deployment: Projects can go from several months to a few weeks, sometimes a few days for an initial scope.
• Continuous evolution: As the factory’s needs evolve, so does the application. No need to recode; adjustments are made directly within the platform.
• Easier adoption: Operators and field managers benefit from custom-designed interfaces adapted to their needs.

Visionsoft’s Positioning

With VISION, our high-performance no-code platform, we enable manufacturers to create a customizable MES that covers all business needs:

• Production monitoring and workshop management
• Equipment, resource, and authorization management
• Quality and compliance
• Document management and traceability
• Connection to ERP and existing systems
• Advanced features: offline, mobility, plan visualization, AI connectors

Our approach: start with a robust MES foundation and adapt it to each client’s specific context, rather than imposing a fixed software solution.

In summary

The no-code MES, as offered by Visionsoft, offers unparalleled agility, unlimited customization, and rapid implementation.

The digitalization of workshops should no longer be hindered by rigid solutions; on the contrary, it should be accelerated by flexible, sovereign, and powerful tools.

At Visionsoft, we believe that the future of MES is no-code!
