Container xChange, an online container logistics platform, has published its recent research report ‘The benefits of digitalizing container operations’.
Process manufacturing software, Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), Lot Traceability, Batch Production
Process manufacturing is concerned with the use of Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), such as those used in the chemical, pharmaceutical, food & beverage, biotechnology and Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) environments. The key point to define process manufacturing is that once the raw ingredients or formulas have been used and mixed they cannot be returned back to their original individual state. In other words, once the product has been constructed the individual ingredients cannot be distilled and extracted back out again.

Process Manufacturing Software
Process manufacturing software is a type of software that is used to manage the production of products that are made through a series of chemical or physical processes. This type of software typically includes features for managing recipes, inventory, quality control, and traceability.
Some of the benefits of using process manufacturing software include:
- Increased efficiency and productivity
- Improved quality control
- Reduced costs
- Enhanced traceability
- Compliance with regulations
Manufacturing Execution Systems
A manufacturing execution system (MES) is a software system that helps in the monitoring, tracking, and controlling of the manufacturing process. It provides real-time data and insights into the production process, which can be used to improve efficiency, quality, and compliance.
MES systems typically collect data from a variety of sources, including:
- Production equipment
- Quality control systems
- Inventory management systems
- Human-machine interfaces (HMIs)
This data is then used to generate reports, alerts, and notifications that can help manufacturers make informed decisions about the production process. For example, an MES system can track the production of a specific product and identify any potential problems early on. This can help to prevent costly delays and ensure that the product meets quality standards.
MES systems can also be used to track the traceability of products. This means that manufacturers can track the history of a product from the raw materials to the finished product. This can be important for compliance with regulations, such as those governing the food and pharmaceutical industries.
