Automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers face constant pressure to increase throughput, meet strict compliance requirements, and reduce warranty claims, all while managing complex vehicle configurations and just-in-sequence processes. PINpoint MES goes beyond planning and scheduling to deliver execution-level control on the shop floor. PINpoint ensures vehicles and components are built right the first time by enforcing standardized work, error-proofing tasks, and automating traceability.
Discrete manufacturers often face the challenge of producing high-quality products efficiently, repeatably, and at scale with complex assemblies, high product variation, and strict compliance requirements. PINpoint MES provides execution-level control to keep production consistent, traceable, and adaptable without costly custom development. From real-time monitoring to enforced digital work instructions, PINpoint helps manufacturers eliminate waste, reduce defects, and accelerate continuous improvement initiatives.
Quality leaders need more than passive monitoring; they need error-proofing and complete control over every product that leaves the line. PINpoint MES empowers quality teams to reduce defects, enforce repeatable processes, and track product quality in real time, from the shop floor to the top floor.
Medical device manufacturers operate in one of the most highly regulated industries, where compliance, accuracy, and full traceability are non-negotiable. PINpoint MES provides the digital backbone for FDA 21 CFR Part 820, ISO 13485, and other global standards—ensuring every product is built to specification, every process is documented, and every record is audit-ready. With enforced workflows, electronic Device History Records (eDHR), and automated alerts, PINpoint helps you reduce risk, simplify compliance, and improve product quality.
MRO providers operate in highly regulated, fast-paced environments where turnaround times and compliance are critical. PINpoint MES extends beyond traditional planning tools by enforcing execution-level control, ensuring every work order is completed correctly, on time, and fully complies with FAA, EASA, and AS9100 standards. With real-time visibility, error-proofing, and automated traceability, PINpoint helps you eliminate costly errors, reduce delays, and build stronger client trust.
Building recreational vehicles, ATVs, and power sports equipment demands precision. Everything must be tightly controlled and executed with precision, from custom configurations to complex assembly sequences, and diverse product lines. PINpoint MES eliminates manual tracking and operator error risks by enforcing product-specific instructions, monitoring real-time progress, and ensuring consistent quality across every model. The result is faster production, fewer defects, and streamlined onboarding for new team members.
PINpoint is the only truly comprehensive, no-code manufacturing execution system designed to help you control quality, boost efficiency, and enforce process repeatability—without relying on PLCs or custom development.
