Manufacturing Execution System — time tracking, video monitoring, AI recommendations

A lean MES layer for the shop floor: capture time and work events, monitor with video, then analyze with AI for recommendations — and give workers a knowledge base built from procedures and operational documents (RAG).

For search and product language that means: MES first, then time tracking and video monitoring as the base signals, then AI analysis & recommendations, and a knowledge base for workers from real shop-floor documents.

By the numbers

Operational scope from live and pilot shop-floor environments

Figures from active and pilot manufacturing workflows. Company names and operational data are anonymized.

  • 180work orders / job sheets per month
  • 12stations on the live board
  • 9work-order lifecycle statuses
  • 400tools across 27 categories
  • 230tool check-outs per month
  • 214finished-goods SKUs

The problem

Without MES signals, time and video stay disconnected from decisions

Plants often have ERP, cameras, and timesheets — but not one execution picture: who worked which job, how long, what the video shows, and which procedure applies now. Supervisors still chase status in chat while docs sit unused in folders.

A Manufacturing Execution System closes that gap: time tracking and video monitoring feed the board; AI turns events into recommendations; a document knowledge base answers workers on the floor.

About

Building MES: time, video, AI recommendations, and worker knowledge

I'm Siarhei Fedarenka — Head of R&D at Taqtile, founder of 5S Control, with English in Games Sp. z o.o. in Warsaw. I scale lean manufacturing execution with AI & RAG across EAM, MES, and video-based factory intelligence.

On erp2.ai the product story is explicit: a Manufacturing Execution System where time tracking and video monitoring are the base, then AI analysis and recommendations, and a knowledge base from documents so operators get the right procedure in context — plus field products like HVAC Tech Service.

Work starts with the real process, not the stack: which events to capture, which cameras matter, which docs workers need, and which recommendation changes the next shift.

MES stack

From base signals to AI recommendations and a worker knowledge base

  1. 01

    Manufacturing Execution System

    Work orders, job sheets, stations, blockers, and live status beside ERP — the execution layer that answers “what is running now?”

  2. 02

    Time tracking on the floor

    Job and station time, attendance against work, and event timestamps that feed load, payroll-adjacent reporting, and AI analysis — not a disconnected timesheet silo.

  3. 03

    Video monitoring

    Video-based factory intelligence via 5S Control: use existing cameras for process and safety signals tied to the same MES events.

  4. 04

    AI analysis, recommendations & knowledge base

    Analyze time + video + execution events; surface recommendations; retrieve procedures from a document knowledge base (RAG) so workers get answers at the station.

Use cases

Shop-floor workflows and a field product case

Manufacturing examples from operational environments, plus a shipped product use case for field teams.

MES slice job sheets stations

Work order & job-sheet board

Roughly 180 work orders per month across a dozen stations, with statuses from queued and in-work to blocked (materials wait) and done. Paper and chat handoffs were replaced with a live board: steps, kit status, owners, and shift due times.

Outcome: supervisors see blockers and station load without walking the line for every update.

tools warehouse events

Tool check-outs & finished goods

400 tools in 27 categories (~230 check-outs / month) plus 214 FG SKUs. Check-outs, receipts, shipments, and write-offs post to production channels; weekly summaries show movement without full recounts.

Outcome: tool location and sellable FG stay trustworthy through daily events.

product mobile field

HVAC Tech Service

A mobile HVAC calculator for pros: hvactechservice.com — scan walls → 3D grid → pick equipment → live estimate → PDF for bids. Same idea as lean execution: shorten the path from field event to a usable decision artifact.

Outcome: estimates in minutes on-site, without spreadsheet gymnastics.

Factory intelligence

Video monitoring + time events → AI recommendations

Base layer: execution time tracking and 5S Control video monitoring on the same process map. Next layer: AI analysis that recommends actions and feeds a worker knowledge base from SOPs, work instructions, and plant documents — so answers show up where the work happens.

Interfaces

Screens that show process state on the floor

Statuses, stations, quantities, owners, blockers, tool movement, and upcoming decisions — not office AP tables.

Engagement formats

Start with one shop-floor process — not a full MES program

  1. 01

    Express process review

    One or two sessions: stations, events, blockers, who needs the next signal, and which first control loop is worth shipping.

  2. 02

    Prototype in Sheets or forms

    Fast event loop for work orders, tool moves, thresholds, and notifications — before committing to a custom UI.

  3. 03

    Custom execution UI

    Roles, statuses, files, history, mobile-friendly boards, and integrations with ERP / chat / video.

I do not replace ERP for the sake of replacement. If accounting and planning already work, I add the execution layer that closes the shop-floor visibility gap.

Approach

Process first — then lean MES / EAM tooling

  1. 01

    Map the real line process

    Stations, handoffs, kits, tools, and the manual reconciliations that keep production moving.

  2. 02

    Rules and control points

    Statuses, blockers, owners, thresholds, exceptions, and the questions supervisors actually ask.

  3. 03

    Thin execution loop

    Shortest path from event to board update — with real operators from day one.

  4. 04

    Alerts, RAG & analytics

    Audit trail, overdue work, load slices, procedure retrieval, and video signals after the base loop works.

  5. 05

    Evolve through use

    Grow only what helps the line, warehouse, maintenance, and plant leadership.

Who it's for

Manufacturing teams that need execution visibility — not another office AP tool

  • Plants where work orders and kits still live in paper, Excel, and chat.
  • Operations and production leads who need a live board for stations and blockers.
  • Teams connecting EAM/MES intent with lean software and, where useful, video intelligence.
  • Product builders shipping field tools (like HVAC estimate apps) with the same execution mindset.

When to reach out

If time, video, and procedures never meet in one MES picture, reach out

  • Work-order and station time are tracked separately from the board.
  • Cameras record, but video is not tied to jobs or exceptions.
  • Supervisors still ask “what’s running / blocked?” in chat.
  • SOPs exist as PDFs, but workers cannot retrieve the right one in context.
  • No AI layer turns delays and video events into recommendations.
  • ERP holds masters; MES-style execution is missing or too heavy.
