Who it’s for

Three profiles, three problems solved

Visionsoft MES brings a concrete answer at every level of the production organization

Production director

Real-time visibility on your shop floor

OEE, work order progress, scrap, machine stops – in real time, with no re-entry, without waiting for the next morning’s report.

Quality manager

Quality built into the production flow

Inline operator self-checks, batch-by-batch traceability, non-conformities triggered automatically. Quality is no longer a separate department.

6 module families

Activatable a la carte, without replacing what exists

Start with what you lack. Add the others when you’re ready. Everything talks to your ERP.

Why Visionsoft MES

Neither too heavy nor too basic. Composable is different.

Most SMEs (50-500 people) are stuck between an oversized industrial MES and a glorified Excel. Visionsoft MES is designed for the space in between.

What you experience today
Progress is reported the next day from paper sheets
Your ERP doesn’t know what’s happening on the shop floor in real time
OEE is calculated manually in Excel once a week
Quality catches non-conformities at the end of the line – too late to avoid scrap
An industrial MES costs EUR 200k and 18 months – too heavy for your size
With Visionsoft MES
Real-time operator declarations on tablet – in 3 taps
Bidirectional synchronization with your ERP (SAP, Sage, Divalto, Cegid)
OEE calculated automatically, displayed continuously on the shop-floor screen
Non-conformity triggered automatically as soon as a check fails – inline, not at the end of the line
First module deployed in 3 to 6 weeks. Investment suited to SMEs.
Key workflows

The processes your ERP doesn’t run on its own

Every workflow is no-code configurable by your business teams, without a developer.

WF-01

WO launch – closure

Work order received from the ERP, instructions displayed at the station, real-time declarations, non-conformity auto-triggered if a check fails, closure with ERP feedback.

ERP connectedTraceability
WF-02

NC detection – handling

Failed check – NC auto-created – qualification – corrective action – closure with effectiveness measurement. Simplified 8D built in.

Auto-triggeringSimplified 8D
WF-03

Weekly planning

Work orders from ERP – load/capacity calculation – conflict detection – AI suggestion – validation – launch. Drag and drop on a visual planning board.

AIDrag and drop
WF-04

Shortage alert – replenishment

Stock below threshold – alert – need check vs planned work orders – order in ERP – receipt tracking. Simplified MRP built in.

Automatic production report

End of shift or week – automatic consolidation – PDF/Excel report – sent to management and the production manager.

Artificial intelligence

Two levels of AI for your shop floor

Visionsoft embeds two distinct AI tools, complementary in an MES project.

Vision AI Maker – Vaia

Generate your MES application from a description

Describe your need in plain language – “I want real-time production tracking with automatic OEE, inline quality and SAP connection” – and Vaia generates the complete application, ready to deploy, with no developer.

Vision AI Agent Builder

Operational AI agents on your shop floor

Embed AI agents directly in your workflows: optimal scheduling suggestions, early detection of quality drift, replenishment recommendations, stop root-cause analysis. Your agents act on your field data without manual intervention.

Frequently asked questions

What production directors ask

Before deploying a no-code composable MES

What is a composable MES and how does it differ from a classic MES?
A classic MES is a monolithic system that imposes its logic on your shop floor – costly, slow to deploy, hard to evolve. A composable MES like Visionsoft is a set of independent modules you activate as you need. You start with production tracking, add quality next, then scheduling – each module is operational in a few weeks, without replacing your existing ERP.
Can Visionsoft MES connect to any ERP?
Visionsoft MES connects natively to SAP/S4HANA, Sage X3, Divalto and Cegid via REST API. For other ERPs, file-import connectors are available. The connection is bidirectional: work orders come from the ERP, and declarations and stock movements flow back automatically.
Can field operators really get to grips with the application without training?
It’s a central design point. The Visionsoft shop-floor interface is built for real industrial environments – large touch, pictograms, entry in 3 taps maximum. Getting started takes a few minutes with no formal training. Offline mode ensures continuity even in areas with no stable Wi-Fi.
How does the scheduling AI work concretely?
The scheduling AI analyzes planned work orders, available capacity per line and operator, customer deadlines and priorities to suggest an optimal sequence. It detects resource conflicts before launch and proposes reassignments. The manager validates or adjusts by drag and drop – the AI suggests, the human decides.
What’s the difference between Vision AI Maker (Vaia) and the AI agents in Visionsoft MES?
Vaia generates your MES application from a plain-language description – that’s the starting point. The AI agents (Vision AI Agent Builder) then integrate into the deployed application to reason over your production data: scheduling optimization, quality drift detection, replenishment recommendations. Two distinct tools, two complementary steps.
