"Outstanding Process Control and Tracking Application"
5/5
What do you like best about PINpoint MES?

PINpoint offers a slew out-of-the-box features that enable process engineers to build, configure, and maintain robust process controls and quality management tools, often without reliance on controls engineers or IT support. Its features for electric assembly tools and standard PLC integration methods cover the vast majority of integration needs for many discrete assembly operations. The built-in reports are meaningful and provide outstanding genealogy data for use in process improvement activities and process troubleshooting, while the exposed data cubes and data warehouse features allow integration with custom report building tools. It is an economical alternative to traditional PLC-based equipment integration and error-proofing and incorporates sophisticated product tracking, Andon features and notifications, as well as operator qualification management features.

What do you dislike about PINpoint MES?

Upstream system integrations are sometimes challenging; in particular, integrations with legacy ERP or PLM systems. Often a middleware application is required to interface between PINpoint and this type of system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A learning experience that has helped us at PAS control many aspects of our business."
5/5
What do you like best about PINpoint MES?

The control of product builds, the flexibility to program multiple build recipes and having the knowledge now to do more of the integration and programming myself it is a cost effective platform that works well for our assembly plant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PINpoint MES?

Ethernet cables. If I didn't have to run another Ethernet cable the rest of my life I'd be a happy person.

Actually if the smart build application could copy a large group of process steps from line to line would be great. We sometime need to shuffle engine builds from line to line so that means I have three or for recipes for one engine type. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5
What do you like best about PINpoint MES?

Streamlined Data & Information Management:PINpoint excels in Data management & Human involvement, providing manufacturers and continuous improvement engineers with comprehensive visibility into their production processes. The system seamlessly collects real-time data from various sources, including machines, sensors, and manual human inputs, and consolidates it into actionable insights.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PINpoint MES?

PINpoint is a fully featured MES hence, it takes more effort to install and configure than some of the small SCADA type systems. That said, their staff makes intergrations quite easy. If your management has a digital vision and is willing to make the cultural changes required, I assure you PINpoint will unlock invaluable insights that enable you to make informed decisions and stay ahead in today's competitive manufacturing landscape. Personally, I'd never try to run a manufacturing facility without it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
