What do you like best about PINpoint MES?

This out of the box MES solution is easy to implement and versatile when configuring. The ideal solution for process control, tool interlock, traceability, data collection / retention and the integration of other devices such as PLC's, torque positioning arms, etc. Not to mention, the programming is very straight forward. Overall, the support is top notch, and the software is world class. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PINpoint MES?

Some of the previous versions of had some bugs, but version 5 seems stable thus far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PINpoint MES solving and how is that benefiting you?

This software is a solution for interlocking DC tools and recording the data. The workstations can be sequentially interlocked as well, along with the process steps. This software helps to improve quality and the manufacturing process. We have noticed an increase in both. We have also seen a reduction warranty. Another benefit we have noticed is a positive outlook from the operator standpoint with the ease of use of this manufacturing system. I would highly recommend Pinpoint if you want to increase the quality of your product, drive down warranty, defects and improve your manufacturing processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
