Packages and main capabilities
Essentials (core MES)

• Order management — create, manage and track manufacturing orders end-to-end.
• Track & trace — record movement, location and status of materials and products (including powder-batch handling for additive manufacturing).
• Non-conformance management — record deviations, investigate causes and manage corrective/preventive actions (CAPA).
• Interoperability — messaging, buffering and diagnostics for integration with external systems (supports NATS, MQTT, OPC UA, HTTP, file system transports).

Standard (adds advanced MOM)

• All Essentials capabilities.
• Genealogy — forward and backward traceability with configurable nesting levels.
• Statistical Process Control (SPC) — define characteristics and inspection plans for process control.
• Scheduling — production scheduling to optimize resources and meet deadlines.
• Process modeling and Visual Information Navigator — model flows and visualize MES objects in the plant digital twin (2D/3D/point cloud).
• High‑availability options available as add-ons.

Deployment & trials
Opcenter X is available as SaaS with deployment options for Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) or on‑premises configurations. A 30‑day free trial is offered to evaluate common MOM use cases.
