What is WIP Tracking?

Cantier MES X.0’s Production Execution module (WIP Tracking) — a core component of its Manufacturing Execution System (MES)—delivers real-time visibility, control, and accountability across the entire shop floor. Designed for manufacturers in complex, high-precision industries like semiconductors, aerospace, automotive, and metal fabrication, this solution empowers operators and supervisors to manage production orders, track Work-in-Progress (WIP), and ensure each step of the process is executed as planned. With full traceability and genealogy, the module links each product to its materials, machines, operators, and processes—ensuring regulatory compliance, defect control, and manufacturing quality at every stage. This level of insight helps manufacturers minimize bottlenecks, reduce cycle times, and make smarter decisions on the shop floor.

Core Capabilities

Real-Time Dispatching

Dispatch and track production orders, work instructions, and operator tasks in real time for full situational awareness.

Full Product History

Capture detailed records of materials, machines, processes, operators, and quality checks to ensure traceability and compliance.

Intelligent Quality Control

Enable in-line defect tracking, log process deviations, and trigger automated quality checks the moment nonconformance occurs.

Key Benefits

Real-Time Visibility

Improves real-time visibility across the shop floor, enabling faster response to issues and production status tracking.

Throughput Optimization

Reduces bottlenecks and accelerates throughput, optimizing cycle time and overall production flow.

Compliance & Root Cause Analysis

Supports root cause analysis and regulatory compliance, enabling faster recalls and audit readiness.

Quality Control & Defect Prevention

Prevents defective parts from moving down stream, reducing rework costs and ensuring consistent product quality.
