SAP MES is an advanced solution designed to manage, monitor, and automate manufacturing operations. It is well-suited to organisations looking to digitize their production processes and access both real-time and historical data to boost shop floor efficiency and optimise manufacturing performance.

As a system integrator, LeverX partners with established hardware providers such as Zebra, Honeywell, and Handheld to deliver effective solutions. We implement comprehensive, turn-key projects that combine high-quality software with premium hardware, supplying all the necessary equipment from our partners to support your warehouse or manufacturing facility.

Unified Shop-Floor Operations

All key functions — from supporting manufacturing activities and managing production orders to adjusting material routing — are handled within a single, centralised system. We integrate your MES with SAP S/4HANA to eliminate data silos between the shop floor and the boardroom.

Real-Time Production Insights

Capture and evaluate live production data to maintain alignment with manufacturing standards. We help UK firms monitor Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) in real-time, allowing for immediate intervention and data-driven decision-making to boost throughput.

Advanced Traceability and Genealogy

Track the use and accuracy of individual components to strengthen traceability across the production chain. This ensures full compliance with UK and international safety standards, providing automated electronic batch records (eBR) and serialisation.

AI-Enhanced Product Quality

Pinpoint frequent sources of quality issues and address them effectively through detailed process analysis. By integrating Machine Learning and IoT sensors, we enable predictive quality controls that reduce scrap rates and ensure a "zero-defect" manufacturing process.

Agile and Adaptable Processes

Easily adjust your manufacturing operations to align with shifting UK market demands and customer expectations. Our consulting-led approach ensures your MES architecture supports rapid product changeovers and flexible production scheduling.

Asset Intelligence and Net Zero Oversight

Streamline maintenance routines, reduce operational downtime, and monitor energy consumption at the machine level. We configure your system to provide the granular data needed for UK Net Zero reporting and proactive asset management.
