How can efficiency and automation be increased through structured process maturity assessment? As part of the MES journey, innovative approaches can be used to drive digitalization and automation in manufacturing. Manufacturing execution systems (MES) play a central role in capturing real-time data, optimizing processes, and ensuring the highest quality standards. This presentation shows how process maturity assessment can be used to implement targeted optimizations in areas such as data management, automation, and process integration. Practical examples illustrate how data-driven decisions and the close integration of IT and OT achieve measurable progress. It also explains how these measures facilitate compliance with regulatory requirements and strengthen competitiveness in the long term. In this session, you will learn

• How manufacturing processes are optimized through the introduction of MES systems to make data-driven decisions and increase production efficiency.
• The advantages of integrating the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) to automate processes and detect errors at an early stage.
• How Sartorius’ MES journey aims to improve product quality while meeting regulatory requirements.
