Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) Software Development Solutions provide custom tools to monitor, control, and optimize production processes in real time. These solutions bridge the gap between the factory floor and enterprise systems, improving efficiency, traceability, and productivity.

1. IS DUBLIN
ADOPTING MES
SOFTWARE
DEVELOPMENT FAST
ENOUGH?

2. INTRODUCTION
• Dublin is home to some of Ireland's fastest-
growing high-tech and manufacturing firms.
• As the manufacturing sector modernizes,
Manufacturing Execution Systems Software D
evelopment Solutions
have become a vital part of smart factory
infrastructure.
• This presentation explores MES adoption
levels in Dublin, challenges, and how
Rootfacts is helping businesses modernize
production.

3. • MES stands for Manufacturing Execution
System—a digital layer that connects business
systems (ERP) with real-time production on the
factory floor.
• It captures data such as order status, operator
activity, machine performance, and inventory
levels.
• MES improves decision-making, traceability,
compliance, and efficiency.

4. • Dublin’s competitiveness depends on fast,
flexible, and traceable production.
• MES provides the backbone for
automation, quality assurance, and smart
production.
• It also supports regulatory compliance for
sectors like pharma and medtech—key
industries in Dublin.
WHY MES MATTERS FOR
DUBLIN

5. • Large firms (pharmaceuticals, electronics)
have MES in place but often lack full system
integration.
• Many SMEs are either using legacy systems
or partial digital tools.
• A Rootfacts market assessment indicates
only 38% of medium-sized factories in
Dublin have MES fully deployed.

6. ARRIERS SLOWING MES
ADOPTION
• High initial investment: Many businesses are
unsure of the ROI.
• Integration complexity: MES must connect
with legacy systems and machinery.
• Skills gap: Lack of trained MES professionals
slows implementation.
• Low awareness: Some firms view MES as
optional, not strategic.

7. ENABLING SMART FACTORIES
WITH DIGITAL TWIN
TECHNOLOGY
• MES becomes more powerful when paired with
digital twin technology development services.
• A digital twin creates a virtual model of the
production line, enabling simulation and
optimization before changes are made.
• Rootfacts offers this integration to reduce risk,
minimize downtime, and support predictive
planning.

8. • For the metalworking and fabrication sector in
Dublin, accurate cost tracking is critical.
• Rootfacts combines MES with
metal estimating software services to:
⚬ Improve quoting accuracy
⚬ Reduce waste
⚬ Link costing directly to production data
• This integration helps manufacturers make
data-driven pricing and procurement decisions.
MES + METAL ESTIMATION =
BETTER CONTROL

9. TRAINING FOR MES THROUGH
VIRTUAL REALITY
• MES platforms require operator understanding and
consistency to be effective.
• Rootfacts builds custom
virtual reality software development services to
simulate production and MES workflows.
• VR training modules accelerate onboarding, reduce
errors, and help upskill workers in a controlled,
immersive environment.
