This week's updates focus on making MES-enabled production workflows more dependable from setup through execution. Teams should see more consistent machine settings behavior, better context in Dispatch Schedule, and fewer interruptions for operators using the ShopPulse Interface.

What's new​

More reliable MES setup and machine configuration​

  • MES machine settings now more consistently preserve operation matching and continue to respect updated mappings on MES-enabled machines.
  • Saving MES settings is more resilient, including better handling of partial machine saves and production schedule field persistence.
  • Machine-level shift handover behavior is now governed by machine settings, making handovers more predictable across environments.

Clearer dispatch planning and job-card context​

  • Dispatch Schedule now supports configurable extra fields on job cards, so planners can review more relevant details without switching views.
  • ERP dispatch workflows received additional UI polish, including improved operation matching behavior in machine settings.
  • Assigned operations now better reflect scheduling and labor context, helping ensure the right work is shown to the right operator.

Smoother ShopPulse execution on the floor​

  • Fixed several issues in palletized machine flows, including Add Job interaction problems, duplicate start actions, and blocking states around Unknown Job.
  • Labor ticket behavior was corrected to reduce stale ticket prompts and improve continuity when operators move through MES workflows.

Why this matters​

Together, these updates improve trust in MES-driven planning and execution. Configuration changes are more dependable, dispatch context is easier to act on, and operators can move through daily work with fewer disruptions and fewer manual corrections.
