Breaking Boundaries: Low-Code for Unlimited MES Innovation

By Luís Ponte, Solution Delivery Director, Critical Manufacturing

In the world of Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), success often hinges on one critical factor: the active involvement of Production stakeholders. But how often is this ideal truly realized? And what if there were a way to make it not just possible, but practical?

This talk explores a transformative approach to MES implementation through the lens of low-code platforms. Imagine a world where end-users – not just IT – can configure, adapt, and evolve MES solutions to meet real-time production needs. No coding expertise. No long development cycles. Just empowered teams driving innovation from the shop floor.

We’ll dive into the spectrum of low-code capabilities, from simple configurations to more complex workflows, and showcase real-world use cases where this approach has delivered tangible results. Along the way, we’ll share best practices, highlight common pitfalls, and offer a roadmap for successfully integrating low-code tools into your MES strategy.

This presentation was featured at the MES & Industry 4.0 International Summit, held on June 12-13, 2025 in Porto, Portugal.
