Incredibly powerful with minimal impact on cost

The flexiblity and usablity within hours of deployment.

Understanding the levels of Process, Stations, Products - confuses users who dont follow MES systems

I am more than pleased with PICO MES. The team has impressed me with their responsiveness/support and commitment to tailoring the product to better meet customer needs. They few problems we've had with PICO have all been either addressed or fixed.

I love the user interface. I also love how easy it is to connect 3rd party smart tools. The change control feature makes it easy for me to oversee and track changes across the team.

The rollout time for some of the customizations/new features they committed to were much longer than expected. While they still followed through (and the features are great:), the lead time could have been more accurate. The traceability feature could be cleaned up -- you have to dig to find the information you need in lower-level processes that are consumed. The lagging on the operator build screen is also annoying.

My overall experience has been good with PICO MES. It has helped our assembly department by providing visual instruction & details for builders while also tracking lots of data on builds for our engineers.

PICO MES allows our assembly operators to have the needed pictures & details to consistently build good product. Each detailed "work instruction" allows our builders to assemble product that they might have never built before with no additional help. We also use PICO MES to make quality/revision alerts, give instructions for sophisticated tooling, add shipping instructions, and provide any other details they might need to build the assembly. PICO has saved our assembly department lots of money in remakes and reworks. The PICO Techs are very helpful when trying to solve issues or do trial runs on new updates.

PICO MES is used by multiple customers, so it is customizable but to a certain point. The entire system can't be set up to fit a customer's unique needs if it won't help other customers.

I can not imagine another MES that is as flexible to meet our needs. I have enjoyed working with Pico MES and the Pico team.

We use Pico MES in an R&D setting, which is the opposite of manufacturing and standardized process. The flexibility of Pico MES is probably unmatched to make quick, real-time changes and structure products/processes in a way that allows for changing variables. With our use case being non-typical, I have been incredibly pleased with the support. The Pico team has been happy to try to understand our needs and work on solutions with us.

Without an ERP, production scheduling and correct work order routing is a manual process. Pico is constantly bringing new features online which is great, however we are not immediately able to take advantage of them without some backend work from our IT/Systems team to maintain correct routing.

Very versatile tool that has many applications that our company is still learning all the ways we can use it. Can't say enough good things about Pico as a company and the great crew they have put together around this software. They are a pleasure to work with.

Tech support and the development team are great to work with. We very much appreciate the simplicity of the integration and look forward to added value as the team further develops the software. It has been a game changer on our production floor. It is our go-to whenever we have an involved application that needs error proofing and a high level of quality assurance.

There is a learning curve to the "software" that takes some time to overcome, but there is really no way to get around that with any product.
