Any MES Platform.
Any Industry.
One Expert Team.
QAS is a dedicated MES engineering house. We implement, integrate, customise and build from scratch — across every major MES platform and every manufacturing vertical. If it runs on the shop floor, we have built it.
ISA-95 Manufacturing Hierarchy
MES sits at Level 3 — orchestrating everything below it
The Digital Brain
of Your Factory
A Manufacturing Execution System (MES) is the real-time intelligence layer that sits between your ERP and your shop floor machines. It orchestrates, monitors, records and optimizes every production event as it happens — from order release to finished goods.
MES closes the gap between what ERP plans and what actually happens on the factory floor. Without it, manufacturers rely on paper travellers, manual spreadsheets and hours-old data. With it, every decision — from scheduling to quality to maintenance — is driven by live, accurate information.
At QAS, we work with every type of MES — from major commercial platforms to fully bespoke systems built from the ground up. Our team of domain experts has delivered MES solutions across Automotive, Pharma, Electronics, Food & Beverage, Tire and EV Battery manufacturing.
Every MES Type.
We Know Them All.
Whether your factory already runs a commercial MES platform or you need a purpose-built system, QAS has the depth to design, implement and integrate it end-to-end.

What Changes When MES Goes Live
MES is not just software — it is a fundamental shift in how your factory operates. Here is what manufacturers experience before and after implementing an MES.
When We Build Custom — Here’s How
Custom MES is our signature capability. No licensed platform. No per-user fees. No vendor constraints. You own the entire solution — source code, database, documentation and all.
Built for YOUR Factory
Every process step, every KPI, every screen is designed around how your team actually works — not around what a packaged product can accommodate.
No Licence. No Lock-in.
You pay for engineering, not eternal subscription fees. SAP MES alone costs 6–12x more in licences over 5 years than a custom-built QAS system.
Change in Days, Not Months
Need a new report, a new process step, a new KPI? We update your MES within days. Packaged platforms require you to wait for the next vendor release.
Integrates With Anything
SAP, Oracle, Siemens, Allen-Bradley, Ignition, custom REST APIs — we connect your MES to everything in your ecosystem, regardless of age or vendor.
The Technology Stack
Behind Your MES
QAS engineers are certified and experienced across the complete MES technology ecosystem — from the field device layer up to enterprise ERP and cloud analytics. We choose the right technology for your environment, not the other way around.
SCADA / HMI Layer
IIoT & Connectivity
ERP Integration
PLC / Control Systems
Data & Analytics
Communication Protocols
All technologies are selected based on your existing plant environment and architecture — QAS is platform-agnostic and vendor-independent.
Genuine MES
Domain Experts
Many system integrators claim MES capability. QAS was founded on MES engineering. Every engineer on our team has spent their career on the factory floor — not just in front of a configuration tool.
We understand shop floor dynamics, shift structures, quality escalations, ERP integration challenges and regulatory compliance requirements at a depth that comes only from building and running production systems in real manufacturing environments.
