New offering moves beyond task management to context-driven execution, allowing manufacturers to expand without adding systems
Parsec Automation, LLC (Parsec), a global provider of Manufacturing Execution System (MES) software, today announced the launch of its Connected Worker solution, built natively on the company’s TrakSYS MES platform.
The solution helps manufacturers improve how work is executed on the shop floor through real-time, context-driven workflows while providing a clear path to broader manufacturing execution capabilities over time.
Unlike standalone connected worker applications that primarily digitize tasks and instructions, Parsec’s approach embeds execution directly within the operational system. In TrakSYS, workflows are driven by real-time production conditions, orchestrated through configurable logic, and supported by a unified data model. Rather than relying on manually assigned tasks and static workflows, TrakSYS enables event-driven execution, where work is generated, adapted, and coordinated based on changing conditions.
For example, when a temperature during a critical process exceeds a defined threshold, TrakSYS can automatically trigger operator tasks, notify the appropriate users, and guide the required response within a unified workflow. This reduces variability, improves consistency, and enables faster responses to changing production environments.
From Immediate Deployment to Long-Term MES Value
Manufacturers often face a tradeoff between speed and scalability. Point solutions can be deployed quickly but may require replacement or integration as needs evolve, while traditional MES platforms can take longer to implement.
With TrakSYS, organizations can deploy structured workflows quickly while building on a platform designed to support broader manufacturing execution over time—without re-platforming or adding systems. This enables manufacturers to begin with targeted operational improvements and expand into additional MES capabilities as needed.
Reducing Complexity Across the Digital Manufacturing Stack
As digital initiatives expand, manufacturers often accumulate multiple systems to address different use cases, introducing integration complexity, data silos, and higher total cost of ownership.
Because the Connected Worker solution is built within TrakSYS MES, organizations can extend functionality within a single platform rather than deploying separate applications. This unified approach reduces integration overhead and ensures that operator-level data is directly connected to broader operational processes and insights.
The result is a more cohesive digital environment that supports both immediate operational improvements and long-term economic advantages. In an IDC Business Value study of TrakSYS customers, interviewed organizations achieved an average three-year ROI of 454% with a nine-month payback period.
“The industry doesn’t need more disconnected task tools—it needs systems that can actually execute work in context,” said Eddy Azad, CEO of Parsec. “With our Connected Worker solution, manufacturers can get up and running quickly with meaningful workflows, while knowing they already have the foundation to expand into broader MES capabilities without disruption.”
TrakSYS Connected Worker will be available via subscription starting May 8th, 2026.
