Abstract
In many growing factories, operators and finance teams are working off two different realities: production data lives on paper (or not at all), while ERP systems struggle to keep up with what’s actually happening on the line. This disconnect leads to inventory mismatches, missed deadlines, and costly surprises. In this session, join manufacturing software leaders from Pico MES and StratusGreen to hear how smart factories are solving this problem—not by waiting for a multi-year ERP implementation to finish, but by connecting the shop floor and business systems in parallel. We’ll walk through practical strategies, real-world case studies, and a live example of how MES + ERP integration can enable:
- Faster, more accurate production reporting
- Real-time inventory updates and traceability
- Fewer manual handoffs between teams
- A smoother path to digital transformation—without waiting years
This is not a pitch. It’s a roadmap for how manufacturers are gaining control over their data, processes, and business decisions—starting where it matters most: the factory floor.
