MES software for consumer goods
A MES designed for mass production
Repetitive production, high product turnover, operational pressure and tight margins. IbernovaMES allows you to see what is happening on the shop floor in real time and take action during the shift, whilst there is still time to make decisions.
- Fewer emergencies
- Greater operational stability
- Better profit margins
DIRECT INCREASE IN LINE YIELD
REDUCTION IN SCRAP AND REJECTS
INCREASED ADHERENCE TO THE PLAN AND DEADLINES AGREED WITH THE MARKET
LESS TIME SPENT CHANGING TOOLS PER SHIFT
REDUCTION IN UNIT COSTS
YOU GET MORE DONE... AND STILL YOU'RE LATE
IT IS NOT A PROBLEM OF FORECASTING, IT IS A PROBLEM OF IMPLEMENTATION
In consumer goods factories, minor deviations on the production floor
ultimately lead to overstocking, urgent issues and service disruptions.
PRODUCTION IS OFF TRACK
- The plan goes ahead, even if circumstances change
- Issues and adjustments not spotted in time
DELAYED DECISIONS
- Data at the end of the shift
- Reaction when the cost has already been incurred
INCORRECTLY MEASURED STOCK
- Overlapping of what does not rotate
- Lack of critical references
THIS DOESN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM
- ERP, Excel and meetings
- Lots of analysis, little control
The solution: IbernovaMES
DESIGNED FOR CONTINUOUS PRODUCTION AND HIGH THROUGHPUT
Manage production lines, shifts and orders in real time, even when dealing with multiple SKUs, frequent changes and peaks in demand.
QUALITY BUILT INTO THE PROCESS, NOT AT THE END
Quality controls form part of day-to-day operations, reducing scrap, rework and customer complaints.
COMPLETE VISIBILITY OF PLANT PERFORMANCE
OEE, downtime, micro-downtime and productivity figures are available in real time, so you can take action during the shift, not afterwards.
FULL TRACEABILITY BY BATCH AND ORDER
Raw materials, processes, checks and results are automatically recorded for audits, regulatory compliance and clients.

Modules specifically designed for consumer goods companies
Each module of our MES is specifically designed for your industrial processes and solutions.
Integration with your ERP
MES–ERP integration links planning, production, quality and logistics, eliminating the need for Excel spreadsheets, duplicate data entry and decisions based on out-of-date information. The factory ceases to be a black box and instead provides the business with real-time data.
Production control
In consumer goods companies, Production Control provides a real-time overview of what is happening on each production line and during each shift: actual output, downtime, minor stoppages, scrap, and deviations from the plan – all while there is still time to take action.
Machine signals
In the consumer goods sector, production rates, downtime and output cannot be left to manual components. Machine signal capture connects directly to packaging, manufacturing, packing or palletising lines to provide real-time, automatic and reliable data, without the need for subsequent discussions or adjustments.
Traceability
Ensure full traceability by batch, product code and campaign during production, not just when an audit, a complaint or a quality issue arises. Traceability under control, without last-minute rushes or risks.
Document viewer
The Document Viewer ensures that production and quality teams always work with the correct and up-to-date documentation: recipes, process parameters, formats, change instructions and quality controls. Changes are delivered to the plant immediately, in a controlled and traceable manner, without paper or confusion.
Order management and advanced planning
This module enables you to move from theoretical planning to actionable planning, aligning orders, campaigns and production sequences with the actual capacity of production lines, shifts and resources, and adjusting the plan in line with what is happening on the shop floor.
Quality Control
It integrates quality into the production process, enabling you to monitor, record and correct deviations in real time by production line, shift and batch, whilst there is still time to take action and before the product reaches the customer.
Analytics and operational reporting
View the real-time status of production by line, shift, SKU and campaign, without relying on manual reports or Excel, and with reliable information to act on during production, not days later.
Data validation
This module ensures that the data used to manage production, quality and costs accurately reflects what has actually happened on the shop floor, validating the information before it affects planning, reporting or business decisions.
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
What is MES software for consumer goods?
A MES is a system that monitors actual production output. In the consumer goods sector, it provides real-time visibility of production, downtime, scrap, quality and traceability, enabling decisions to be made during the shift.
Why is an ERP system not enough?
The ERP system plans and consolidates information, but it does not provide a real-time view of what is happening on the shop floor. It does not monitor downtime, micro-downtime or actual productivity whilst production is underway.
Is IbernovaMES only for large companies?
No. It is implemented gradually and can be adapted to both medium-sized and large plants with multiple production lines and shifts.
Can the system be implemented without interrupting production?
Yes. The roll-out is phased, with quick wins from the outset and no ‘big bang’ approach.
