Powering Sustainable Manufacturing with Kinetic MES
By Scaled Solutions Group | Epicor Certified Platinum Partner Services
Sustainability is no longer just a corporate talking point—it’s a competitive advantage.
With rising energy costs, environmental regulations tightening, and customers demanding greater transparency, manufacturers can’t afford to rely on outdated systems and manual processes.
That’s why the most forward-thinking companies are turning to Epicor Kinetic MES—a modern Manufacturing Execution System designed to digitize the shop floor, improve efficiency, and support sustainable operations at scale.
At Scaled Solutions Group, our certified Kinetic project managers and expert MES consultants help manufacturers implement and optimize MES platforms that deliver real results.
What Is a Manufacturing Execution System (MES)?
A Manufacturing Execution System bridges the gap between your ERP system and the production floor. It collects real-time data from machines, operators, and processes to give you full visibility into what’s happening—while it’s happening.
Epicor Kinetic MES empowers manufacturers to:
Monitor performance across shifts, machines, and jobs
Improve scheduling and reduce unplanned downtime
Track energy usage, material consumption, and scrap
Automate traceability and compliance reporting
Streamline training and standardize work instructions
✅ Why Kinetic MES Is a Game-Changer for Sustainable Manufacturing
At Scaled Solutions Group, we’ve deployed MES systems across a wide range of industries—from fabricated metals to electronics to plastics. Here’s how Kinetic MES transforms sustainable operations:
Real-Time Efficiency
Kinetic MES captures downtime, cycle times, and yield in real-time.
Example: A precision metal manufacturer reduced scrap by 15% and energy usage by 10% after implementing machine-level visibility across its three-shift operation.
Lean + Green Production
MES eliminates overproduction, excess inventory, and unnecessary material usage.
Example: A plastics molding facility used Kinetic MES to tie production runs directly to customer demand—cutting raw material waste by 22%.
Digital Work Instructions
Standardized, paperless instructions reduce errors and streamline onboarding.
Example: A Tier 1 automotive supplier replaced paper job packets with touchscreen instructions, cutting training time by 40% and improving first-pass yield.
Easy Environmental Compliance
Traceability, batch tracking, and automated audit trails simplify regulatory reporting.
Example: A food packaging company used Kinetic MES to meet FDA traceability standards and reduced time spent on audits by 70%.
Energy & Emissions Monitoring
Integrated dashboards display energy and utility usage per machine, shift, or product.
Example: A sheet metal shop tied energy KPIs to operator dashboards and reduced per-part power usage by 12% in six months.
