MES Integration Series · Part 4
Complete Assembly-Line MES Integration: Case Study
What does MES integration look like on one real line?
This case study joins the whole series on a seven-station battery-module assembly line: how each station sends data, how the MES stores it, how a fault is handled and how a serial number gives the full history. The station names and values are examples, not a real plant.
Use the controls to move a module along the line. Choose a station and a fault to see the event, the message and what the MES does with it. The station names and values are examples.
| Station | Parts in | Passed | Failed | Yield |
|---|
The shift is simulated from the yields you set. A failed part is sent to rework or scrapped, and the MES keeps every result. Change the yield of a station to see the effect on the line.
Pick a module and see everything the MES stored for it: the stations it visited, the measurements and the people and lots involved.

The tools are examples, not recommendations. Choose by what your team owns and what your machines and PLCs support.
The simulations are simplified teaching models. A real line needs its own data model, validation and security review.
