MES Software Development
Give your shop floor the real-time visibility spreadsheets can't.
Why teams choose 247 Labs
We have delivered real-time production and shop floor software for manufacturers for more than a decade.
Clients value systems operators actually use, built around real floor conditions and constraints.
Our team has shipped execution systems, integrations, and custom platforms for industrial operations.
Challenge Map
Close the gaps between the plan and the plant floor.
MES value disappears when data still comes from paper, alerts don't reach the right people, or the system can't talk to your ERP. We fix the connection points that keep floor data from being trustworthy.
Paper travelers and whiteboards leave you blind to what's happening right now.
We build digital work order routing and live machine data capture that replaces manual tracking with a real-time view of production status.
Common starting point for MES projects.OEE numbers are guessed, not measured, so downtime causes stay hidden.
We engineer automated OEE tracking that calculates availability, performance, and quality in real time and pinpoints the actual causes of downtime.
Useful for teams still tracking OEE manually.MES and ERP run as separate systems, so inventory and schedules drift apart.
We connect MES directly to your ERP through secure APIs so work orders, inventory consumption, and production status stay synchronized.
Best for teams running disconnected systems.Services
MES services for manufacturers who need real-time floor control.
We scope MES work around the visibility gap causing the most damage, whether that's paper-based tracking, unreliable OEE data, or disconnected systems.
MES readiness assessment
Review current floor processes, data gaps, and machine connectivity before scoping a build.
Custom MES development
Build execution software tailored to your specific production lines and shop floor processes.
Machine connectivity & IoT
Pull live telemetry from PLCs, CNC machines, and assembly lines into a unified system.
Digital work order routing
Replace paper travelers with digital instructions, drawings, and BOMs delivered to operator tablets.
OEE and downtime tracking
Build dashboards that calculate OEE automatically and surface the real causes of downtime.
ERP and MES integration
Sync production, inventory, and scheduling data between MES and your ERP system.
Case Studies
Manufacturing case studies with measurable outcomes.
A Custom Website Design to Boost Lead Generation by 7x
7x increase in online leads
247Labs developed a custom website with improved lead generation features, optimized search functionality, and a user-friendly interface designed to streamline the purchasing process. The platform was built to handle large volumes of traffic while ensuring customers could easily navigate, search for trailers, and make inquiries, leading to better customer satisfaction.

Steel Plus Network: B2B event and rebate tracking, built for the field
Streamlined rebate and event management
247 Labs built a custom B2B mobile app for a steel industry network to manage events and rebate tracking in the field, showing our experience building operator-facing tools for industrial users.
Read case study →Capabilities
The connectivity, build, and reporting support needed for a real-time execution system.
We help teams connect the shop floor to usable data without disrupting production while the system is built.
Define the right MES scope
We map machines, workflows, and data gaps before committing to a build or integration path.
- Machine and process mapping
- Data gap analysis
- Build versus extend review
- Integration requirement capture
Build real-time floor systems
We create machine interfaces, work order routing, and OEE tools that fit your production lines.
- Machine connectivity middleware
- Digital work order routing
- OEE and downtime dashboards
- ERP integration
Reduce operator friction
We focus on tablet-friendly interfaces and fewer manual steps so adoption sticks on the floor.
- Operator tablet interfaces
- Alert and escalation logic
- Exception handling flows
- Mobile status capture
Predict issues before they happen
We layer in predictive maintenance and quality signals once the core system captures reliable data.
- Predictive maintenance alerts
- Vibration and temperature analysis
- Quality trend tracking
- Bottleneck detection
Tech Stack
MES should connect machines, operators, and the systems that plan around them.
We build around the surrounding systems that make execution data useful in daily operations.
For the past 7 years, we have entrusted 247 Labs to help us set up and run a large number of research studies in addition to assisting in expanding the capabilities of our global on-line medical educational platform. We have relied on 247 Labs team to provide a range of services that included software developers, UI and UX support, dev ops and backend expertise in order to generate a cross platform solution for us. We have been very happy with the results.

Business Benefits
A real-time MES should give you visibility you can act on, not data you have to chase.
The payoff comes from faster decisions and fewer surprises on the floor.
Real-time floor visibility
See machine status, work order progress, and OEE the moment it happens instead of after the shift ends.
Fewer paper processes
Replace travelers and whiteboards with digital routing that reduces errors and rework.
Accurate OEE data
Know the real causes of downtime instead of relying on estimates and gut feel.
Synchronized ERP data
Keep inventory, scheduling, and production status aligned across MES and ERP.
Earlier maintenance alerts
Catch equipment issues before they cause unplanned downtime.

Start Your MES ProjectFAQ
Common questions before an MES project starts.
Custom MES development means engineering a platform that tracks, controls, and documents production on the shop floor in real time, tailored to your specific manufacturing process.
Off-the-shelf MES platforms are often rigid and struggle with specialized processes. Custom MES fits your exact production lines, improves operator adoption, and you own the system outright.
Yes. We integrate predictive maintenance, automated visual defect detection, and dynamic scheduling to move your MES from tracking data to acting on it.
Yes. We build custom middleware and edge computing devices to bridge legacy PLC and SCADA systems with a modern, cloud-native MES.
