INTRODUCTION
The electronics manufacturing industry is propelled by rapid
technological innovation but faces complex challenges that demand
high precision, agility, and stringent quality control. Manufacturers
grapple with miniaturization requirements, supply chain complexities,
component obsolescence, and maintaining consistent product quality.
These issues often lead to production delays, increased costs, and
inefficiencies. Implementing a Manufacturing Execution System (MES)
addresses these challenges by providing real-time visibility into
production processes, enhancing quality management, and
streamlining operations. MES optimizes resource utilization, reduces
bottlenecks, and enables quick adaptation to market changes, driving
operational excellence and competitiveness in the industry.
