FAQ – Frequently asked questions about the MES/MOM SYSTEM “COSERA” from GROB

What is an MES system?

A manufacturing execution system (MES) is a production-oriented IT solution for controlling and monitoring manufacturing in real time.

 

 

It forms the functional level between the ERP system and the shop floor, making production processes digitally transparent and controllable.

 

Typical MES functions:

 

  • Detailed planning of production orders
  • Machine data acquisition
  • Operating data acquisition
  • Real-time monitoring of production statuses
  • Traceability of components and processes

 

The functional requirements for MES systems are defined in VDI Guideline 5600.

What is a MOM system?

Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) describes a holistic approach to controlling all operational processes in production.

 

While an MES system primarily monitors ongoing production, an MOM system integrates all operational production areas into a common platform.

 

Typical MOM areas:

 

  • Production control
  • Maintenance management
  • Intralogistics
  • Quality management
  • Resource management

 

The goal is the consistent orchestration of processes, data, and roles across the entire manufacturing process.

What is the difference between MES and MOM?

An MES controls operational production, while a MOM coordinates all of a company's production operations.

 

 

The difference lies in the range of functions and degree of integration.

 

 

MES systems focus on:

 

  • Real-time production monitoring
  • Detailed planning
  • Machine and operating data collection

 

MOM systems expand this approach to include:

 

  • Maintenance planning
  • Material flow control
  • Intralogistics
  • Cross-resource process coordination

 

In short:

 

  • MES = Production control
  • MOM = Management of all manufacturing operations

What is COSERA?

COSERA is GROB's MES/MOM system for the digital control and optimization of modern manufacturing processes.

 

The platform connects machines, systems, employees, and IT systems to form a continuous digital production control system.

 

Key features:

 

  • Browser-based architecture
  • Manufacturer-independent machine integration
  • Integration with SAP ECC, SAP S/4HANA, and other ERP systems
  • Central platform for production, logistics, and quality

 

COSERA thus acts as the digital backbone of manufacturing.

What problems does COSERA solve in manufacturing?

COSERA creates transparency and real-time control in complex production processes.

 

Many companies have only limited access to an up-to-date overview of their manufacturing processes. COSERA closes this information gap.

 

Typical improvements:

 

  • Real-time transparency of machine status and order progress
  • Digital connection of production, intralogistics, and IT
  • Reduction of information gaps
  • More stable production processes

 

Additional functions beyond classic MES systems:

 

  • Maintenance control
  • Material flow management
  • Line operation and recipe management
  • Dynamic intralogistics control

 

The result is reduced bottlenecks and more efficient production processes.

For which companies is COSERA suitable?

COSERA is aimed at companies with complex or highly automated manufacturing processes.

 

The system is particularly suitable for companies with:

 

  • Highly varied production
  • High level of automation
  • Deep value chains
  • Existing ERP integration (e.g., SAP)

 

An additional advantage exists for companies that are in the process of switching from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA.

 

If no suitable ERP system is available, a separate COSERA database can be used as an alternative.

Is COSERA operated in the cloud or on-premises?

COSERA is deliberately operated as an on-premises system.

 

All data processing takes place within the IT infrastructure of the company.

 

Advantages of this approach:

 

  • Maximum data security
  • Full data sovereignty
  • No external cloud dependencies
  • Complete control over production and quality data

How does COSERA connect machines and systems?

COSERA uses specially developed interface technology to integrate a wide variety of machines.

 

This allows both modern systems and older existing machines to be integrated into the platform.

 

Among other things, the following are supported:

 

  • CNC machines
  • Automated production systems
  • Existing machines
  • Various control and communication standards

 

The integration enables highly granular data collection, which supports, for example, component-specific traceability.

How does COSERA ensure IT security?

COSERA utilizes established security and role models from ERP systems such as SAP.

 

All data remains entirely within the internal company infrastructure.

 

Security mechanisms include:

 

  • Structured role and rights management
  • ERP-based security models
  • Closed system architecture
  • Complete control over production data

 

This level of security meets the requirements of regulated industries.

How long does it take to implement an MES/MOM system such as COSERA?

Implementation is usually faster than with traditional MES systems.

 

Since COSERA can directly use existing ERP data structures, there is no need to set up redundant databases.

 

This reduces:

 

  • Interface effort
  • Master data maintenance
  • Implementation costs

 

This enables a faster and more efficient introduction.

Does COSERA support regulated industries?

Yes. COSERA is designed for industries with high requirements for traceability and data security.

 

Typical areas of application:

 

  • Defense
  • Aerospace
  • Automotive
  • Medical technology
  • High-tech manufacturing

 

Important functions for regulated markets:

 

  • Component-specific traceability
  • Secure data architecture
  • Audit-compliant production data
  • Closed IT environment

 

Customers from the defense and aerospace industries are already successfully using COSERA.
