# Initializing Production \| Best Practices
**Sepasoft MES Module Suite**
|  | **Production Equipment Model Initialization**
Be aware that creating Gateway Scripts that are triggered before the Production Equipment Model is initialized (during a restart for example) could generate errors and allow situations where MES operations are requested before initialization is complete. A common example is Timers that execute Analysis. The error log states that the Equipment Path does not exist.
**Wrap scripts in isProductionModuleStarted to avoid errors during a restart.** |
