    *"MES systems have one or a combination of the following characteristics:
      -They send operations to a control system to be executed.
      -They read data from the control system as feedback on the state of an operation.
      -They read information from a control system for further analysis by the business. 
    *MES systems often also integrate with enterprise business systems however this is an optional characteristic compared to those listed above".
  *Bianca Schelten:
    *"**MES is a belief**".
    *"Suppose the MES vendor goes bankrupt, or stops developing and supporting the product: every plant will feel the blow. So be shure you come to an understanding with the vendor on source code availabilty for this kind of emergency. **If you have the source code**, you can adapt and expand the MES yourself as needed".
  *"By the implementation of a MES, **your Excel and Access hell is past :-)**". 
  *"MES = production management + quality management", "MES = production intelligence", "MES = integrated industry", "MES = produktionsnahe Software".
  *"MES is the bse for process optimization".
