Eyelit MES vs qcadoo MES

Eyelit MES models and executes manufacturing processes, tracking routings, lots, labor, machines, and materials. It is aimed at high-mix, high-complexity plants, from single facilities to global multi-site operations. Users configure detailed processes with parallel and conditional flows through a graphical interface without coding. Electronic work lists, digital instructions, real-time data capture, dashboards, and alerts support paperless shop-floor execution. Traceability covers batches, genealogy, die creation, multilevel bills of material and consumption, splits, and merges. Quality functions include SPC, non-conformance management, CAPA, document management, and track-and-trace. Electronic controlled history records support ITAR, FDA, and ISO requirements; native electronic records include FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and eDHR. The MES executes against schedules from Eyelit APS and returns live labor, machine, and material data to the plan. Inventory supports two-way real-time ERP integration. Deployment options are cloud, on-premises, or hybrid, and mobile access provides alerts, KPIs, and production data. Pricing is on request, and a demo can be requested through the site.
