Frequently asked

Questions we hear often.

What is MES360?

MES360 is a manufacturing execution system (MES) built by NeeNam Solutions Pvt Ltd for Indian discrete and mixed-product factories. It tracks every unit through every station — from work order release to shipment — capturing measurements, quality sign-offs, and live work-in-progress data.

Who is MES360 built for?

Shop-floor teams: operators executing stations, supervisors managing WIP and shifts, QA and warehouse staff handling quality and dispatch, and factory admins governing masters, routings, and users.

What kind of factories use MES360?

Discrete and mixed-product manufacturing operations that need unit-level traceability, tolerance checks, and rework or non-conformance tracking — not pure continuous-process lines.

Does MES360 replace or integrate with our ERP?

Neither replaces the other. Work orders and routings can flow in from your existing ERP, or be planned directly in MES360 — it closes the gap ERP planning leaves at the station level. For SAP specifically, MES360 exports production confirmations, goods receipts, and quality notifications in SAP-ready CSV formats for your team to load in — no live API connection required.

What's the difference between MES360 and an ERP's manufacturing module?

An ERP's manufacturing module plans production ahead of time — work orders, bills of material, schedules. MES360 captures what actually happens at each station as it happens, and feeds confirmations back to the ERP. Neither needs to pretend to be the other; they're built to hand off.

What does MES360 run on?

MES360 runs on the web and on Android devices, so operators can scan, execute stations, and sign off directly from shop-floor hardware without leaving the line.

Does MES360 work with handheld barcode scanners?

Yes — MES360 supports Zebra hardware scanners out of the box, plus camera-based scanning on any Android device or web browser when dedicated hardware isn't available.

Does MES360 include AI features?

Yes. MES360 has a natural-language copilot for querying production data, vision-assisted defect detection for QA, predictive risk alerts for delivery and stockouts, and plain-language explanations for planning decisions. AI features are opt-in per factory and fail closed by default.

How long does it take to get MES360 running on a line?

Most factories get a first line live within a few weeks — masters, routings, and station configs come first, then a pilot run before rolling out further. There's no big-bang cutover; paper and MES360 can run side by side while your team gets comfortable.

Do operators need training to use MES360?

Operators are usually comfortable within an hour — station screens are built around scan-and-confirm actions, not data entry. Supervisors and QA need a bit more time on dashboards and sign-off workflows, but nobody needs to be technical to use it.

Can MES360 run across multiple factories or plants?

Yes — each factory has its own masters, routings, and users, while admins responsible for more than one plant can see rolled-up reporting across all of them from a single account.

What reports can I export?

Work Order Completion, Unit Traceability (which doubles as a quality certificate), Station Efficiency, Defect Frequency, Operator Productivity, and Machine Efficiency/OEE — exportable as CSV, with PDF available for Work Order Completion and Unit Traceability.

Is the audit trail tamper-proof?

The audit log is append-only — actions are never edited or deleted. If a measurement needs correcting, MES360 records a new entry linked to the original rather than overwriting it, so the history stays intact.

Does MES360 support ISO 9001 documentation needs?

Tool calibration records in MES360 are built to serve as audit evidence for ISO 9001 Clause 7.1.5, with a calibration register exportable as CSV.

Can a defective unit be stopped before it ships?

Yes — a failed measurement or a vision-flagged defect routes the unit into a rework loop automatically, and QA's disposition (rework, scrap, or use-as-is) has to be recorded before the unit can move on or ship.
