Manufacturers often struggle with rigid, legacy Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) that are difficult to customize and integrate with existing infrastructure. This inflexibility leads to inefficiencies in production monitoring, quality control, and workflow management, hindering operational improvements.

Ferry offers a modular MES platform that allows manufacturers to create and deploy custom, data-driven applications tailored to their specific operational needs. The platform provides building blocks to address challenges across production monitoring, quality, traceability, and planning. By integrating with existing MES, historian, and factory systems, Ferry enhances the capabilities of current tools and creates a digital ecosystem suitable for each factory's unique requirements. The platform's edge-to-cloud capabilities enable implementation in various environments, including on-premise, public cloud, and private cloud setups.
