Meet DELMIA Apriso: The MES Software Revolution

DELMIA Apriso is Dassault Systèmes’ flagship MOM software, an extension of MES software, built to help digitize, track-and-trace and drive Industry 4.0 transformation. More than a traditional MES, it unifies production, quality, maintenance, inventory and workforce management in 1 platform. With low-code flexibility and global scalability, Apriso is ideal for multi-site manufacturers. Combined with the 3DEXPERIENCE platform and virtual twin technology, it provides end-to-end product traceability—accelerating decisions, enhancing agility and powering smarter, more sustainable operations.

Why Choose DELMIA Apriso Over Other MES Software?

Discover how DELMIA Apriso MOM Software outperforms other MES solutions:

Real-Time Production Visibility & Control

Stay on top of your shop floor with real-time data and IIoT connectivity. DELMIA MES provides live production monitoring of every order, machine, and material movement. This empowers you to respond immediately to issues, minimize downtime, and optimize throughput. Using instant alerts and dashboards, your team can make swift decisions to keep production on track. In the automotive industry, for example, real-time visibility helps manufacturers respond immediately to line stoppages, while in consumer packaged goods, it supports high-speed production with minimal waste and optimal throughput.

Quality & Compliance Assurance

Maintain the highest standards of quality and compliance with DELMIA MES built-in quality management capabilities. The software enforces standard operating procedures and captures critical data at each step of production. With complete track-and-trace functionality, Apriso provides full product genealogy—from raw materials to finished goods—across all plants. This enables fast, accurate responses to quality issues, simplifies audits, and supports regulatory compliance across industries like life sciences, aerospace, and automotive.

Low-Code Configurability and Flexibility

Instead of costly custom code, DELMIA MES's low-code environment allows easy tailoring to your processes. Your team uses intuitive interfaces to configure workflows without extensive programming, enabling faster implementation and continuous improvement; many customers report going live in under 90 days. This flexibility lets the MES adapt as your business evolves with new products, equipment, or processes. The result is faster time-to-value and a solution that fits your operations perfectly, now and in the future.

Global Standardization & Multi-Site Management

Used by manufacturers in sectors like aerospace, life sciences, and food & beverage, DELMIA MES software allows companies to roll out enterprise-wide best practices while adapting to local regulatory or operational needs. The software’s multi-site architecture supports different languages, currencies, and regulatory requirements, so implementation is smooth on a global scale. By harmonizing processes, companies can more easily benchmark performance, share improvements, and scale up production without losing efficiency or control.

Seamless Integration with ERP and 3DEXPERIENCE

DELMIA MES software integrates seamlessly with enterprise ecosystems through built-in connectors and APIs, enabling real-time data exchange with ERP systems (like SAP or Oracle), PLM solutions, and other applications. This eliminates manual data entry and ensures consistent, up-to-date information across departments. As part of Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform, DELMIA MES connects design, engineering, and manufacturing through a unified digital thread—allowing engineering changes and product launches to inform execution, while shop floor feedback loops back to design.

Virtual Twin Technology for Continuous Improvement

A key differentiator of DELMIA is its use of virtual twin technology—an advanced digital twin that mirrors the real-time state - current or future - of your factory, processes, and workflows. This dynamic 3D model enables manufacturers to simulate “what-if” scenarios and test changes in a risk-free digital environment. Manufacturers can save time, avoid disruptions, and achieve first-time-right execution. Acting like a perpetual digital pilot line, the virtual twin empowers confident innovation and sets DELMIA MES apart in the journey toward smart manufacturing excellence.

DELMIA MES vs. DELMIA MOM

DELMIA MES is the real-time production execution and shop-floor control layer, directing and monitoring factory floor activities as they happen. In contrast, DELMIA MOM encompasses a much broader range of manufacturing operations – integrating MES capabilities alongside functions like quality management, equipment maintenance, inventory/warehouse management, and workforce management into one unified platform. MES ensures that day-to-day production runs efficiently on the plant floor, while MOM covers the full spectrum of manufacturing activities.

What’s the difference between MES and ERP?

MES and ERP are complementary manufacturing systems operating at different levels:

ERP manages broader organizational tasks such as finance, supply chain, order management, HR and high-level production planning. MES controls and executes real-time manufacturing on the shop floor.
ERP schedules production and allocates resources. MES dispatches instructions, monitors processes and tracks progress, handling detailed tasks like machine data collection, quality inspections, labor tracking and WIP inventory updates.

Simply put, ERP plans production and MES ensures efficient, responsive execution.
