In the MEX 16 software, it will be noticed that there are some differences between its Predecessor, MEX 15.
What is New in MEX 16:
| What’s new | Detail |
| Web-based interface | V16 runs in a browser. No desktop client install required. Any device with a browser can connect, including tablets and laptops on the network. |
| Side-bar navigation | Replaces the v15 tile/icon menu approach with a persistent collapsible side bar. Modules expand in-place rather than opening a separate menu screen. |
| Insights module | Replaces the old Reports module and MEX Dashboard. Interactive listings and graphs across all modules in one place. |
| Supplier Invoices (Stores) | The old single Supplier menu item is now split into two dedicated items: Supplier Invoices and Suppliers. Invoices have their own listing and workflow. |
| Electronic Forms | Digital forms (permits, service sheets, calibration records) can be built, attached to Work Orders, filled in online, and reported on via Insights. |
| Asset Audit Work Order | Enhanced inspection format with checklist headings, GPS location, exception flagging, and ability to raise a Maintenance Request directly from a defect found. |
| Work Order Scheduler | Visual drag-and-drop scheduling of WOs against resources. Covers Backlog, Resources, and Schedule views including a Day View. Incorporates new AI Scheduling tool. |
| Geolocation Module | Three main tabs which can show you the physical locations of assets, work orders and requests. |
| Tool Register | Allows for you to keep track of all of your various tools, when they have been last calibrated and what work orders they have been used on. |
