The decision on which system to implement depends on the management areas and challenges of the company, but recently there has been a trend towards integrating both systems. 【What you can learn from this explanatory article】 - Basic definitions and functions of MES and LIMS - Differences in their roles in manufacturing sites - Benefits gained from integration (e.g., automatic creation of EBR) - Points to consider and decision-making materials during implementation >> You can view the continuation in the article linked below! <<
