In our last post, we explored 3DEXPERIENCE DELMIA and how it helps with digital process planning before production begins.
Today, we shift from planning to operations — and look at the solution that helps manufacturers execute, monitor, and optimize everything happening on the shop floor in real time:
👉 DELMIA Apriso
🧠 What is DELMIA Apriso?
If you want to control your shop floor, warehouse, and production down to the finest detail, DELMIA Apriso is the solution for you.
Apriso isn’t just an MES (Manufacturing Execution System) — it’s a full Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) platform. It connects, coordinates, and controls production, quality, inventory, maintenance, and more — all in one real-time system.
Think of Apriso as the “brain of the factory.” It integrates with machines, systems, and people to make sure operations don’t just run — they run smart.
If your current approach feels like playing whack-a-mole with spreadsheets, disconnected tools, and reactive firefighting, Apriso offers a systemic solution.
🧩 Quick Explainer: What Is an MES?
If you’re not familiar with MES, here’s a quick overview:
An MES (Manufacturing Execution System) helps companies track and manage production on the shop floor — connecting what’s planned in ERP systems with what actually happens during manufacturing.
MES tools typically include:
- Work order execution
- Machine and operator data collection
- Real-time dashboards and KPIs
- Quality checks and traceability
- Performance tracking across lines and shifts
Apriso includes MES capabilities — and goes beyond by unifying maintenance, warehouse logistics, compliance, and performance management.
🔍 What DELMIA Apriso Actually Does
DELMIA Apriso provides a centralized system that enables manufacturers to:
✅ Track and execute production in real time
✅ Coordinate quality inspections and nonconformances
✅ Manage inventory and warehouse operations
✅ Schedule and monitor maintenance tasks
✅ Integrate data from machines, sensors, PLCs, and SCADA
✅ Generate traceability reports and digital audit trails
✅ Deliver live dashboards for plant performance
If today you’re:
- Manually tracking inventory in spreadsheets
- Forecasting with disconnected files
- Updating shop floor metrics by hand
…Apriso replaces those steps with a live, connected system.
It’s built to eliminate silos, reduce delays, and give you the real-time visibility you need to drive smarter decisions.
👥 Who Uses Apriso?
Apriso is designed for manufacturing professionals who need real-time control and visibility, including:
- Plant Managers
- Production Supervisors
- Quality Engineers
- Maintenance Planners
- Warehouse Managers
- MES/MOM Admins
- IT/OT Integration Specialists
- Traceability and Compliance Leads
Whether you’re running a single facility or coordinating a global network, Apriso helps unify operations and scale best practices across sites.
🚀 Why It Matters
When factories rely on disconnected tools, tribal knowledge, or paper-based tracking, problems get solved late — or not at all.
Apriso turns that chaos into coordination.
✅ Get live feedback from machines and operators
✅ Spot problems before they become disruptions
✅ Make every line, shift, and station more efficient
✅ Connect operations with engineering and enterprise systems
When Apriso is integrated with systems like ERP and platforms like 3DEXPERIENCE, it becomes the critical link between your business plans and your shop floor performance.
❓ Common Questions — Answered
Is Apriso just an MES?
No — Apriso is a Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) platform. It includes MES functionality, but also spans quality, maintenance, warehousing, and performance in one connected system.
Is it part of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform?
Apriso is part of the DELMIA brand, and it can run independently or integrated with 3DEXPERIENCE — especially if you want full digital continuity from design to execution.
If we already use ERP, do we still need Apriso?
Yes. ERP systems manage business-level planning. Apriso manages real-time execution — helping your teams turn those plans into precise, measurable action on the floor.
Can it integrate with our existing systems?
Absolutely. Apriso is built for interoperability. It integrates with ERP (SAP, Oracle), SCADA systems, PLCs, and other MES and business applications.
Do we have to deploy it everywhere at once?
Not at all. Many manufacturers start with a single site or a focused function (like quality or traceability), then expand once the benefits are clear.
Is it cloud-based or on-premises?
Apriso supports both. You can deploy it on-prem, in the cloud, or in a hybrid model depending on your infrastructure and IT goals.
