ReCON MES – production monitoring and MES system for mechanical engineering plants
Production monitoring, statuses, cycle times, and assembly operations in a clean interface
ReCON MES is a visualization and reporting platform for real-time production management. The basic package includes standard machine connection via ReCON CONNECT along with the MES, APS, CMMS, and REP modules for a single unified fee.
Without an MES, production status is tracked by walking the shop floor and recalculating from paper records. ReCON MES continuously displays workstation states, cycle times, and downtime, providing the same data for shift and historical reporting. Data collection is automated via ReCON CONNECT, with options for manual entry and integration with other systems.
Key benefits
- Intuitive reporting tool for generating reports online and retrospectively
- Assembly: process by machine type, technicians' work and planned vs. recorded hours
- Integration with ISCAR MATRIX: tool consumption and costs per job and per produced part
- Available as a fully cloud-based service on MS Azure with a dedicated instance
What the basic package includes
- Reporting tool for streamlining manufacturing processes (real-time and historical reports)
- Automatic and manual data collection, plus data integration from other systems
- Monitoring of assembly operations and workstation statuses
- ReCON APS – shop floor scheduling, work queue, machine and operator calendars, traceability
- ReCON CMMS – breakdown and cost tracking, preventive inspections, documentation
- ReCON REP – standard and customized reports in Power BI
Assembly — monitoring of assembly operations
- Assembly process by machine type: groups, subgroups and individual tasks with planned hours
- Overview of machines in progress, active technicians and work history for each serial number
- Comparison of planned and recorded hours by group, activity and technician
- Utilisation, productivity and comparison of assemblies of the same machine type in ReCON REP and Power BI
Tool management — integration with ISCAR MATRIX
- Tool withdrawals from ISCAR MATRIX gain production context: job, machine and produced parts
- Total tool consumption and tooling costs per job, broken down by item
- Cost of a selected insert per produced part and comparison of the same job across machines
- Power BI reports in ReCON REP; MATRIX data is refreshed once every 24 hours
Cloud service – advantages and considerations
- Architecture and security designed in line with NIS2 requirements, with automated online reporting in Power BI
- Automatic updates, database backups, and patch installations included in the price
- Accessibility from anywhere, easy performance scaling, lower costs compared to purchasing servers
Who the module is for
- Business owner and production manager – actual production status without waiting for monthly closing
- Shift supervisor – overview of workstations and downtime throughout the shift
- Operator – easy entry and confirmation of operations
Deployment prerequisites
- Machine connection via ReCON CONNECT (standard connection included in the package)
- Deployment as a cloud service on MS Azure with a dedicated instance, or on-premises at the customer site
Availability
The basic package includes standard machine connection and the MES, APS, CMMS, and REP modules for a single monthly fee, starting at CZK 41 per machine per day (excl. VAT). A free demo preview of the application is available.
