About MESbox MTG

MESbox MTG is a manufacturing execution system software from Ordinal Software that supports product traceability and genealogy. It includes containers and transfers modeling, ascending and descending traceability of batches, and detailed genealogy for batch tracking, helping industries ensure product quality and compliance with legislation. The system provides COOX MES software, COOX modules' characteristics, industrial mobility, and SCADA features to facilitate effective monitoring and management of production processes. Key capabilities: containers and transfers modeling batch tracking equipment cross-referencing industrial mobility SCADA features Best for: manufacturers that need to comply with quality regulations and maintain detailed product lineage.

MESbox MTG (Material Tracking & Genealogy), part of the COOX MES suite by Ordinal Software, is a powerful industrial solution designed to deliver complete, real-time product traceability and material genealogy across manufacturing environments. The software ensures that manufacturers can meet stringent regulatory, quality, and certification requirements by automatically tracking all raw materials, intermediate products, finished batches, and the equipment they interact with throughout the production cycle. MESbox MTG reconstructs material flows using a modeling approach based on containers, transfers, and operational transformations, ensuring every movement, mixing, stacking, or reaction is captured accurately with timestamps and batch identification. This approach provides instant ascending (raw material origin) and descending (final product impact) traceability, enabling immediate response to quality issues, contamination alerts, or supplier-related defects. MESbox MTG supports detailed genealogy tree structures, enabling users to visualize the complete history of any batch, including all process steps, equipment paths, quantities, and intermediate conditions. It also integrates seamlessly with other COOX modules such as SCADA and PMT, offering a unified MES environment for production execution, process supervision, inventory tracking, and equipment management.
