MV2
MV2 is a powerful and robust Manufacturing Execution System (MES) that helps manufacturing firms get the most out of their existing resources & processes at a fraction of the cost of hiring workers or adding automation.

A software platform which connects, monitors and coordinates complex manufacturing systems, data flows, as well as people on a shop floor. The main goal of an MES is to oversee and synchronize the execution of manufacturing operations and improve production output of the factory. MES helps shop floor workers focus their time on doing, rather than reading and typing.
