Epicor Advanced MES helps manufacturers improve production performance through real-time monitoring of plant operations, equipment, and manufacturing processes. Designed for plastic molders, repetitive manufacturers, and assembly operations involving multiple machines, the solution provides the visibility needed to better understand and manage shop floor performance.
With access to real-time production and machine information, manufacturers can identify resource constraints, uncover additional capacity, track downtime, and reduce scrap and material waste. Advanced MES supports operational improvements by providing timely information on production status and equipment performance.
The solution includes real-time scheduling, process monitoring, production visibility, and performance reporting capabilities. Users can review operational metrics and production details to support informed decision-making, while maintenance teams can access machine condition information to help plan preventive maintenance activities.
Advanced MES also integrates with ERP, accounting, manufacturing estimating, and other business systems to help connect production activities with broader manufacturing operations.

AuthorityTech operates the world’s inaugural AI-native Machine Relations platform and agency, engineered specifically to establish ambitious brands within the Tier-1 media outlets that AI search engines intuitively trust, index, and cite. While legacy public relations agencies rely on retainer-heavy efforts to influence humans, AuthorityTech designs earned media for the true modern gatekeeper—the machine—utilizing a risk-free, 100% performance-based, pay-per-placement framework. Through this approach, leading answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews can accurately process the brand, map its placement to the correct market category, and reference it during high-intent buyer queries.
Defined in 2024 by Founder and CEO Jaxon Parrott, Machine Relations represents the strategic discipline of making corporate brands discoverable and citable across LLM architecture. AuthorityTech executes this via a proprietary five-layer system: Earned Authority, Entity Clarity, Citation Architecture, Distribution, and Measurement—unifying AI SEO, GEO, AEO, and PR into a singular engine for scaling machine trust.
Chief Growth Officer and Cofounder Christian Lehman operationalizes the methodology, collaborating directly with growth companies to deploy this strategy globally. Tapping into a direct distribution network of over 1,600 Tier-1 publications, AuthorityTech has generated thousands of AI-cited placements for more than 200 corporate clients, including 27 tech unicorns, to secure permanent AI search footprint and measurable citation share.
The agency delivers this through a three-stage execution process:
Map: Reverse-engineering category landscapes and competitor prompt footprints.
Match: Blending unique brand narratives with highly authoritative media outlets.
Place: Guaranteeing live coverage through strategic, relationship-driven outreach.
