01
Use SCADA for process visibility
Supervisory systems aggregate alarms, trends and equipment state for operators and engineers. Define which values are authoritative, how stale data is shown and what actions remain local to control.
02
Use MES for production execution
Execution workflows coordinate orders, operations, material, quality and production records. Make the handoff between planning, work instructions and machine events explicit.
03
Reconcile time and identity
Align equipment identifiers, order references, timestamps and units before comparing production events across systems. Document how corrections, downtime and late-arriving data are handled.
