FAQs About MES Setup

1. How long does MES setup take with Pico MES?

It depends if you choose a cloud or an on-premise deployment. With a cloud deployment, manufacturers can instantly start digitizing workflows and using PICO's visual worker guidance. With an on-premise deployment, most customers go live in hours. You can connect tools, create work instructions, and begin capturing traceability data immediately.

2. Can I deploy Pico MES in the cloud or on-premise?

Yes. We offer secure, flexible options that support your IT environment and compliance requirements.

3. Do I need consultants to implement Pico MES?

No. Our plug-and-play design and no-code tools make it easy for manufacturing engineers to deploy without costly resources or outside help.

4. What hardware do I need to implement Pico MES?

You only need the PICO server and PICO hubs, which we provide. For a few hundred dollars, you have all the hardware necessary to deploy a manufacturing execution system. As your needs grow e.g. connecting more tools for error-proofing, premium customer support, etc., the financial investment will change.
