The MES Operations course is a 4-day, instructor-led class designed to provide a fundamental understanding of the features and functionality of AVEVA MES Software/Operations (formerly Wonderware).

 

The class will demonstrate how to use MES Software/Operations to addresses the configuration and definition of the operations model, product definition, and production capabilities; implementation of production execution and data collection; and reporting of traceability and genealogy information.

 

This course also covers integration between AVEVA MES Software/Operations and System Platform.
