Digitize production – simply and effectively
With the MES software from GNT Systems, you can bring transparency, efficiency and digital control directly to the store floor – modular, scalable and precisely tailored to your processes.
Whether digital production control, automated PDA/MDA recording, paperless order processing or live monitoring: GNT provides the end-to-end solution for modern store floor management.
As an experienced MES software provider, we connect machines, people and systems – with a direct ERP MES interface, structured key figure determination (OEE) and a production planning system that paves the way to Industry 4.0
More than Mes
GNT integrates tool management directly into the system
- The GNT.NET MES solution not only combines classic modules such as PDA, MDA or detailed planning – but also a complete tool management system
- No stand-alone system, no multiple maintenance: tool data, stock levels and output systems directly available in the MES
- Perfect for companies that want to map end-to-end processes from order to machine
ONE SYSTEM. ONE LOGIN. ONE DATA SOURCE.

What our customers say about GNT Systems
Thanks to the GNT.NET MES, we can immediately order the parts we need with a handheld scanner in production, where we assemble the parts, and schedule them for production without any further communication.
On the one hand, this saves us a great deal of time and, on the other hand, we can prevent any communication errors. Thanks to the CMS, we now have a huge database of every activity (repairs, quotations, spare parts, etc.) carried out by our company.
This means that several people can easily carry out several activities without us being dependent on individual people. The GNT.NET MES therefore makes our day-to-day business much easier.

Traceability of planning and actual production times leads to transparency of unplanned downtimes, production controlling, capacity optimization and control of our continuous improvements.
The system functionalities and the resulting advantages were decisive for our decision in two areas in particular: firstly, the clear, graphical display of machine statuses and secondly, the well-structured NC program data management. […] Today, there is more transparency and a better overview in micro-gear production – the best prerequisites for a further boost in productivity.

Bidirectional ERP interface– MES & ERP perfectly networked
Why GNT.NET MES is the ideal ERP supplement
In many companies, ERP systems such as SAP, Infor, ABAS or Microsoft Dynamics control the commercial processes. However, there is often a lack of direct access to live data from the store floor for optimum production control. This is exactly where GNT.NET MES comes into play.
Our bidirectional ERP interface connects your corporate management level with the production management level – for seamless data flow, up-to-date actual values and end-to-end digital production planning.
Open, flexible, immediately integrable – the GNT ERP interface:
- Instead of complex individual adaptations: Standardized API interface with plug & play logic
- ERP, PLM, PDM, DMS or time recording – everything can be integrated quickly and easily
- Cost security & short project duration thanks to proven integration architecture
- Already in use at customers with SAP, Infor, Microsoft, proALPHA, abas and many more.

Functions of the GNT MES software
-
RECORDING
Machine and operating data is recorded directly at the system - via OPC UA, bus coupler or external hardware. Operator terminals ensure convenience and high data quality. -
MONITORING
Dashboards show the live production status - e.g. quantities, cycle times or KPI fulfillment - for maximum transparency on the store floor. -
REPORTING
Key figures such as OEE, WIP and KPI are available at the click of a mouse - for analyses in the sense of a continuous improvement process (CIP), available on all end devices.
How much potential is there in your production?
Calculate the ROI of your tool management now: less set-up time, lower tool costs, higher efficiency – in just 3 minutes and with just a few clicks.

Frequently asked questions
on the subject of MES
What is a Manufacturing Execution System?
An MES system works in two directions. On the one hand, it translates planning and orders into specific work steps in production. On the other hand, it translates data from production into usable feedback for planning. An MES system thus serves as an information and data hub and always shows a real image of production.
What does an MES system do?
An MES (Manufacturing Execution System) is a software solution for controlling, monitoring and optimizing manufacturing processes in real time. It links the planning level (ERP) with the production level (machines, personnel) and ensures end-to-end transparency from incoming orders to the finished product.
Why mes?
An MES is the central answer to increasing demands for efficiency, traceability and flexibility in production. It helps companies to reduce downtime, ensure quality and seamlessly document production data – an indispensable basis for Industry 4.0 and smart factory concepts.
What tasks does a mes have?
The typical tasks of an MES include
- Order and resource planning (detailed planning)
- Machine data acquisition (MDA) & production data acquisition (PDA)
- Personnel time recording (PZE)
- Quality management and traceability (CAQ)
- KPI and OEE evaluation
- Interfaces to ERP, DNC, CAD/CAM and tool management
How does working with a mes work?
An MES automatically collects data from machines, terminals and ERP systems. This information is visualized in clear dashboards and control stations so that production managers, shift planners and workers can be informed and intervene in real time. Modern MES systems such as GNT’s can be expanded modularly and adapted to individual processes based on roles.
What are the advantages of a mes system?
An MES offers many practical advantages:
- Increased transparency and predictability in production
- Reduction of downtime, rejects and rework
- Central data storage and seamless documentation
- Support with certifications and audits
- Better utilization of personnel, machines and materials
- Real-time reporting and well-founded decisions
