ERPNext Manufacturing is the manufacturing module of the open-source ERPNext ERP, with job cards for shop-floor operations, not a dedicated MES. Work orders issue operations to the shop floor, and Job Cards record the actual operation, workstation, employee, timing, completed quantity and production progress.
ERPNext software is free and open source. The $5 starting price is for managed Frappe Cloud hosting per site per month; ERPNext can also be self-hosted.
