MV2 MES:
The Shop Floor Command Center
Connect your ERP to the shop floor with real-time execution, visibility, and control.
Disconnected systems slow down your shop floor.
ERP plans don’t reflect real-time production
Operators rely on manual processes
Quality is tracked after the fact
Data is delayed or inaccurate
What is a Manufacturing Execution System (MES)?
A Manufacturing Execution System (MES) is a real-time software solution that bridges the gap between ERP planning and shop-floor execution. It provides immediate visibility by tracking labor, equipment, and materials to ensure production is executed accurately, efficiently, and without manual paperwork.
Turn ERP data into real shop floor action
MV2 connects your ERP directly to the shop floor, so what’s planned is executed accurately in real time.
It delivers work instructions to operators, captures production data as it happens, and feeds that data back into your ERP, creating a continuous, accurate loop between planning and execution.

“MV2 quickly became part of our company culture.
When a new work cell launched without MV2, operators complained.
That’s how I knew it worked; they didn’t want to be without it.”

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does MV2 integrate with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations (F&O), Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (BC), and Infor XA?
Yes, MV2 features a native, real-time integration with Dynamics 365 F&O, Dynamics 365 Business Central, and Infor XA. It synchronizes production orders, material consumption, and labor tracking between the shop floor and the ERP, ensuring your enterprise records match actual production reality without manual data entry.
How does an MES differ from a standard ERP manufacturing module?
While an ERP handles long-term planning and financials, an MES like MV2 manages the minute-to-minute execution on the factory floor. MV2 provides high-resolution data collection, machine connectivity (PLC), and digital work instructions that standard ERP modules typically lack.
Can MV2 operate if the ERP system goes offline?
Yes. MV2 is designed with “shop floor resilience,” meaning it can continue to track production, manage labor, and execute jobs even if the connection to your ERP (like Dynamics or Infor) is temporarily interrupted, preventing costly downtime.
What specific manufacturing metrics can MV2 track in real-time?
MV2 MES tracks critical KPIs, including OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness), scrap rates, labor efficiency, and machine uptime. This data is displayed on live dashboards, allowing managers to identify and resolve bottlenecks immediately rather than waiting for end-of-shift reports.
Does MV2 support paperless manufacturing and digital traceability?
Yes. MV2 replaces paper packets with digital work instructions and automated data capture. It creates a complete digital genealogy for every product, tracking serial numbers, lot codes, and operator touches to ensure full regulatory compliance and quality control.
