The **Sequor MES** (Manufacturing Execution System) is the system responsible for **monitoring, controlling, and optimizing industrial production in real time**.\
It connects production planning (ERP/SAP) to the shop floor, ensuring **full traceability, operational efficiency, and reliable data** for decision-making.

This manual was created to help **industrial managers, supervisors, and operators** understand and use Sequor MES as efficiently as possible — whether to track indicators, record production, analyze downtime, or consult performance information.

In this manual, you will find **all the necessary information to understand, configure, and operate** Sequor MES, from basic concepts to complete operating workflows.

### System objective

The main objective of Sequor MES is to **ensure that production execution happens in a synchronized, traceable, and efficient way**, turning operational information into performance insights.

It acts as an intermediate layer between the **corporate management system (ERP/SAP)** and the **shop floor operations**, integrating people, processes, and equipment in a single digital environment.
