MES software for sheet metal and metal fabrication
A MES designed for genuine metalworking shops, not for mass-production factories
IbernovaMES is not a generic MES system that has been adapted.
It is MES software specifically designed for metalworking and fabrication companies, where every project is different and the workshop determines profitability.
With IbernovaMES, you can:
- Monitor the actual progress of each project, phase and sub-project
- Record actual times for welding, assembly and manual work
- Ensure full traceability of materials, welds and certificates
- Coordinate the technical office, workshop and management using a single source of data
- Integrate the workshop with your ERP system without duplicating work
IMPROVED DELIVERY COMPLIANCE
REDUCTION IN AVERAGE SET-UP TIME
REDUCTION IN WELDING-RELATED REWORK
INCREASE IN PAPERLESS ORDERS
DRASTIC REDUCTION IN REPORTING TIMES
Do any of these situations sound familiar in your company?
- Progress on projects is monitored by “checking in with the workshop”
- Excel spreadsheets, paper documents and manual reports that never reflect reality
- Changes to the plans that aren’t being properly communicated to the production team
- Overtime that nobody records but everyone has to put up with
- Difficulty in justifying timescales, costs and deviations
- Audits, certificates and traceability – always in a rush
- Over-reliance on key individuals to gauge our progress
The solution: IbernovaMES
DESIGNED FOR PROJECTS, NOT FOR SERIES
Each project is the unit of control. Progress is managed by project, sub-assembly and phase, rather than as a simple sequence of standard operations.
WELDING AND ASSEMBLY AS CRITICAL STAGES
The system reflects the reality of the workshop: welding, assembly, adjustments and testing are not just ‘another task’, but key stages of the project.
INTEGRATION BETWEEN ENGINEERING AND THE WORKSHOP
Drawings, versions and technical changes are linked to the implementation, thereby preventing misalignments and rework
TRACEABILITY AND DOCUMENTATION FROM THE SOURCE
Materials, welds, tests and certificates are recorded during the process, not at the end or manually.
HOW YOU CAN TRANSFORM DAY-TO-DAY OPERATIONS IN YOUR COMPANY
With IbernovaMES for sheet metal and metalwork, you’ll no longer have to wing it and you’ll have greater control over the project.
Coordinates welding and assembly effectively, anticipating bottlenecks and reallocations before they affect deadlines.
View the progress of each project, phase and sub-assembly in real time directly on the shop floor, without having to rely on phone calls or informal rounds.
Always work with the correct version of the drawings and technical documentation to avoid errors and rework resulting from poorly communicated changes.
It records materials, welds and quality checks during the construction process, ensuring full traceability without any extra work at the end.

Modules specifically designed for sheet metal and metal fabrication companies
Each module of our MES is specifically designed for your industrial processes and solutions.
Integration with your ERP
When MES and ERP are integrated, information flows seamlessly between planning, the shop floor and management. This means fewer errors, less rework and decisions based on real data, not assumptions.
Production control
See in real time what is happening during welding, assembly and manual tasks, detecting deviations whilst you still
have time to take action.
Traceability and Certificates
Ensure full project traceability during the manufacturing process, not when the client or the auditor is already breathing down your neck.
Document viewer
It ensures that welding, assembly and manufacturing operations always use the correct and up-to-date documentation. Technical changes are implemented at the plant immediately and in a controlled manner.
Order management and sequencing
Planning is no longer confined to Excel or the minds of a few; it becomes a clear, shared process.
Quality Control
It integrates quality controls directly into the project delivery process, rather than identifying issues when it is already too late.
Analytics and operational reporting
See the real-time status of your projects, resources and performance without relying on manual reports.
Data validation
Prevent errors relating to times, quantities or staff attendance from distorting the true picture of your production in
sheet metal work
EXPERTS IN YOUR INDUSTRY
Why choose specialised MES software?
Every industry has its own specific needs, regulations and challenges that affect planning, production and quality.
A specialised MES adapts to these specific requirements, optimising critical processes, ensuring regulatory compliance and providing reliable data for making quick and accurate decisions, outperforming general-purpose systems that attempt to cover everything without taking into account the reality of each individual company.
General-purpose MES system
- It attempts to cover multiple sectors without making any major changes
- Requires additional configuration to comply with regulations
- Standard planning, less closely aligned with actual operations
- Basic data capture, without customised details
- Generic controls, often offline
- Lower accuracy; requires more manual effort to analyse and improve
- It requires extensive customisation and has a steeper learning curve
Specialised MES system
- It is tailored to the specific needs and processes of each industry
- It incorporates industry-specific regulations and standards
- Optimise workflows in line with the sector’s operational realities
- Captures real-time process data tailored to sector-specific requirements
- Incorporate specific checklists and quality controls into the process
- Optimise resources and reduce scrap based on actual parameters
- Quick setup with processes already tailored to the sector

Frequently Asked Questions
How does this MES differ from an ERP?
The ERP system plans and manages the administrative side of things.
The MES software for metal fabrication monitors what is happening in the workshop at any given moment: real-time data, progress, incidents and traceability.
Is it valid if I don’t have an ERP system?
Yes. IbernovaMES can be implemented with or without an ERP system and scale as your business grows.
Is it difficult for the operators?
No. It is designed for workshop use: clear displays, quick registration and industrial use. If the operator doesn’t use it, the system is useless.
How long does it take to start seeing results?
The benefits become apparent from the very first months, as visibility of the process improves, hidden losses are reduced and decisions are made based on real-time data.
