The purpose of this paper is to understand the evolution of manufacturing execution systems (MES) in the digital transformation era. Theoretical propositions made on MES (based on
manufacturing execution system (MES) has become the bridge that connects enter-prise resource planning systems with operations within organizations, becoming a Digital Twin, helping to know virtually what is happening on productive processes in real time. Like any practical concept, an updated state-of-the-art is needed to
Rather than hosting a manufacturing execution system (MES) at each individual plant, some companies have been looking into running a single, central, "enterprise MES" that''s connected to multiple geographically distributed plants.
Manufacturing execution system is information systems (IS) application that bridges the gap between IS at the top level, namely enterprise resource planning (ERP), and IS at the

The fast-growing demand for effective Industry 4.0-ready systems from academics and practitioners has required an assessment of the state-of-the-art research and implementations in Manufacturing
AMR Research, a Boston-based industry and market analysis firm, defines a Manufacturing Executing System (MES) as "a functional layer of information technology that links business planning and shop floor control systems to deliver to manufacturing an achievable and realistic production plan."
The MES system bridges the gap between the planning system and the controlling system using on-line information to manage the current application of manufacturing resources: people, equipment and inventory.
Manufacturing execution system, also known in the industry as MES, is software used in manufacturing to track and document the transformation of raw materials into finished goods. More specifically, MES manage, monitor, and synchronize the execution of real-time, physical processes involved in manufacturing operations.
