Welcome to the first issue

This is the inaugural issue of Hot Wire on MES. Manufacturing execution system is a general term for a much broader concept of connecting systems and operations between the plant floor and the enterprise. It is our hope that in the coming months we’ll be able to share best practices, new products and fresh ideas on MES and its related disciplines. If you have a story to share, contact editor Bob Vavra at [email protected] .
