In traditional MES solutions, there is significant functionality overlap with back-end ERP systems, Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) and Process Historians. This creates a tremendous amount of redundant data and is a maintenance nightmare. In addition, it creates a complex integration challenge. All this adds to a significant Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

At Performix, we have introduced products that focus entirely on the manufacturing execution "engine." The functionality we provide is generally not addressed by ERP and other solutions in the manufacturing landscape. Thus, Performix is able to minimize data redundancy and integration challenges, while accelerating manufacturing excellence in the true sense of the word.
