Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES)

BlueCherry® MES (Manufacturing Execution System) is purpose-built for fashion and consumer lifestyle brands, providing you with real-time visibility and control over factory-floor operations. Unlike generic MES platforms, BlueCherry is designed to handle the complexity of apparel and sewn products manufacturing—from labour tracking and line balancing to incentive payroll and quality assurance. With mobile access, cloud-based scalability, and built-in analytics, BlueCherry MES helps boost productivity, reduce non-productive time, and ensure on-time delivery—all while supporting ethical labour practices and compliance.

BlueCherry® MES provides real-time visibility into production performance—enabling better resource allocation, reducing downtime, and minimising waste. By automating manual processes and tracking every stage of production, it helps manufacturers boost productivity, improve quality, and lower operational costs.

BlueCherry MES integrates seamlessly with BlueCherry ERP—or your existing ERP platform—by bridging the gap between high-level planning and shop floor execution. It ensures real-time data exchange across production, inventory, and quality functions, providing you with accurate, up-to-date information for better planning, scheduling, and decision-making. 

BlueCherry’s Shop Floor Control (SFC) system is a core component of its MES, providing manufacturers with real-time insights into work orders, machine usage, and labour performance. Smart workstations furnish operators and managers with up-to-the-minute data to track productivity, identify bottlenecks, and adjust workflows on the fly. The result? Improved output, better labour utilisation, and less downtime.

BlueCherry MES provides detailed, real-time tracking of production processes, labour activity, and payroll to ensure compliance with labour laws and industry regulations. With built-in transparency and reporting, it helps manufacturers maintain ethical practices, meet audit requirements, and uphold brand and customer expectations around social responsibility.

BlueCherry MES helps reduce manufacturing costs by optimising labour and equipment usage, minimising delays, and improving overall factory efficiency. With automated data collection and real-time analytics, teams can make smarter decisions, reduce manual errors, and streamline operations—leading to faster throughput and stronger profitability.
