    ProLeiS: The MES solution for mold and die manufacturing

    ProLeiS is MES software for mold and die manufacturing. Our experts have specially tailored the planning and control functions to the requirements of medium-sized manufacturing companies and single-part manufacturing. The MES software is modular, adapts to company-specific processes, and maps them digitally from end to end.

    With an MES (MES = manufacturing execution system), companies can improve manufacturing processes and increase manufacturing capacity through efficient planning, control, and evaluation of manufacturing orders.

    Manufacturing processes have to include and coordinate any experts, machines, and suppliers to ensure all requirements regarding budgets or quality and deadlines are met. ProLeiS MES provides the software platform to achieve this.

    Since 1999, ProLeiS MES software development has been tightly aligned with the needs of automotive manufacturers—especially mold and die manufacturers—and it has closely followed research. This allows us to stay on top of the latest trends while also meeting the ever-increasing demands of the mold and die manufacturing industry.

    With ProLeiS MES, you can optimize resource utilization, manufacture on time, and reduce costs

    Efficient single-part manufacturing with an MES system...

    ...PLANNING

    Pre-planning gives you an initial overview of the required time, resources, and deadlines.

    The backbone of all manufacturing planning is the bill of materials. Once it has been imported, manufacturing managers use it to plan orders—from data input to equipment assembly.

    ...CONTROL

    For better manufacturing control, ProLeiS also integrates information from other existing systems for procurement, tools, logistics, and NC programs for optimal job management

    For better workflow control, the user sees the next work steps for each resource. A release system ensures the correct processing sequence.

    ...EVALUATION

    Feedback from manufacturing in the form of real-time data ensures an accurate overview of the status of manufacturing. It also enables fast responses to unscheduled events. 

    ProLeiS then generates statistics and provides key manufacturing performance indicators for evaluation.

    In this way, ProLeiS improves transparency in manufacturing and increases the profitability of the entire company.

    FAQ: MES software

    Companies use MES (Manufacturing Execution System) software to improve their manufacturing processes and increase manufacturing capacity through efficient planning, control, and evaluation of manufacturing orders. The key is that everyone works in a single system that actively supports them carrying out their tasks.

    The MES uses business management information from an ERP system as well as manufacturing-related data from CAX and PDM systems.

    Shop: Manufacturing designers and NC programmers work with current digital data, which the machine operators receive directly on the machines. The workflow is coordinated and stored in the MES software.

    Manufacturing managers: The MES software provides them with a detailed overview of processes, status information, and material use in real time. They can respond quickly and specifically to faults and changes. They can reliably and effectively plan new orders.

    Business management: The MES software gives them important key figures for efficiency control. Continuous evaluations
