What Sepasoft MES is
Sepasoft MES controls, tracks, and documents the real-time conversion of raw materials into finished goods. Its modules cover OEE and downtime, batch procedures, traceability, statistical process control, settings and changeovers, and business connectivity. Listed functions include work order and quality management, lot and serial traceability, shop-floor data capture, and real-time dashboards. The Business Connector links MES to ERP and other higher-level business systems, while Web Services supports REST and SOAP. A separate SAP interface provides native, bidirectional connectivity to on-premises SAP without additional middleware. For organizations with multiple sites, MES Enterprise Central Server aggregates information from site-level MES systems for enterprise reporting and analysis. Sepasoft describes its site license as allowing unlimited lines, machines, and users. The modules require Inductive Automation’s Ignition Platform to operate; full visualization can use Ignition Vision or Perspective, though Batch Procedure is compatible with Perspective but not Vision. Sepasoft offers a free trial, but an unlicensed module runs in demo mode for two hours at a time, and that period can be restarted. Listed modules include perpetual server and site licenses, while BasicCare Support is listed at $16 a year, billed at 16% annually of software retail price.
