Standards & Compliance

Aligned with the frameworks your auditors rely on

When evaluating an MES, IT and QA teams typically reference three core standards. Vechr MES is designed to align with all of them — not as an add-on, but as a foundational part of the system architecture.

ISA-95 / IEC 62264

Equipment & Enterprise Hierarchy

The plant data model reflects the ISA-95 structure end-to-end: unlimited Plants, hierarchical Areas (building → line → cell), and Storage Locations. This structure flows into Work Centers (capacity and costing units integrated with ERP) and Resource Groups (flexible pools for dispatch and scheduling). It forms the foundation for consistent access control, scheduling, and OEE reporting.

ISA-88

Batch & Recipe Model

Specifications act as master recipes — linking operations with qualified resources, time standards, work instructions, and quality checks. Routing composes these specifications into complete process flows, supporting linear, parallel, and rework paths. Built-in version control ensures process changes never disrupt in-flight production orders.

21 CFR Part 11

Regulation-Aligned Controls

Role-based access control is enforced at every system action (§11.10(d)/(g)); audit trails are secure and append-only (§11.10(e)); unique credentials enforce complexity, expiration, and lockout policies (§300); and configurable e-signatures are enforced at critical control points, with record integrity protected through hash chaining.

Full regulatory compliance remains a shared responsibility and depends on your organization’s computer system validation (CSV) and internal SOPs. Vechr MES provides system-enforced controls; detailed compliance matrices by clause are available upon request for QA and validation teams.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Vechr MES capabilities, standards alignment, and getting started.

What is Vechr MES?

Vechr MES is a Manufacturing Execution System that bridges the planning layer (ERP) with the shop floor, turning master data, recipes, and schedules into trackable, traceable, auditable production. It's built for both discrete manufacturers (electronics, automotive-style assembly, serialized products) and process manufacturers (food & beverage, chemical, pharma-adjacent batch/continuous production), with a genuinely multi-plant architecture.

Does Vechr MES support both discrete and process manufacturing?

Yes. Vechr MES is built for both discrete manufacturers and process manufacturers on the same platform — including process-industry specifics like native tank/pump capacity, min/max hold-time rules, and automatic cleaning/cooldown gap handling in Advanced Scheduling.

What scheduling strategies does Advanced Scheduling support?

Four: Forward (ASAP), Backward (just-in-time), Leveling (auto-rebalanced load), and Drum-Buffer-Rope, which automatically detects your constraint resource and protects throughput without manual bottleneck management.

Do I need a separate SCADA or historian to connect my machines?

No. OPC UA, MQTT, and Modbus TCP connectivity are built directly into the platform, configured per resource with resilient auto-retry and live tag dashboards — no separate SCADA/historian integration project required.

How does traceability and genealogy work?

Vechr MES provides full forward and backward traceability from raw material lot to finished unit, including structural genealogy across split/merge operations and a BOM-vs-consumed comparison per unit — the backbone for recall and complaint investigations.

Is Vechr MES aligned with ISA-95, ISA-88, and 21 CFR Part 11?

Yes. The equipment hierarchy is modeled on ISA-95/IEC 62264, the recipe/routing model follows ISA-88, and access control and audit trail are aligned with 21 CFR Part 11 — including hash-chained e-signatures and an append-only audit trail with no edit or delete path.

Can we automate shop-floor processes without writing code?

Yes, through the Process Orchestrator — a visual, low-code flow designer with 45+ node types and a draft → validate → simulate → deploy safety pipeline, so an "Active" flow does nothing until deliberately pushed live.
