AUTOMATE
The Manufacturing Execution System (MES) is a computerized system that has the main objective of managing and controlling the productive function of a company. In the Industry 4.0 and digital transformation sector, the MES system allows you to gather strategic information to help management understand the current production conditions and understand how they can be improved.
WHAT WE OFFER
Manufacturing Execution System MES
Functionality
A unique software with complete functionality for production management
The MESA (Manufacturing Enterprise Solutions Association) described what functions should be guaranteed by a MES system: data collection, planning, materials management, product tracking, order management, quality control, maintenance management, resource management and monitoring, information management and distribution, performance analysis, process control.
More functionality means more adaptability of the system to the needs of the company, also with a view to future growth.
Integration
A system that can be integrated with any other software
The MES system must be integrated with company ERPs, management software and external data sources to send and receive data useful for production control.
This is because those who offer high-level MES software know that they must enter a production reality without disrupting existing information mechanisms.
It is often assumed that the ESM can be integrated but it is not always the case.
It is therefore necessary to check the capacity and reliability of the integrations already made and the data exchange methods.
Simplicity
Ease of use and configuration, intuitive interface
Ease of use and configuration, intuitive interface
The MES is certainly an advanced system of control and management of production processes.
Despite this, it must be simple, intuitive and highly configurable.
The MES is used by many users who have corporate roles and do very different activities, so it must be developed in such a way that it is understandable and usable by everyone.
Both by production operators and by the Management.
Even the interface counts: where there is a modern design, a web technology and the possibility of use in touchscreen mode, it certainly goes to simplify and make more pleasant its use by all users.
Standardization
A standard, stable and updatable system
Sometimes it is thought that the MES must be a highly personalized application, therefore perfectly modeled on the production process in which it is applied.
In reality it is good to move towards a solution that has a standard structure, with tested and predefined procedures. In this case, in fact, it is easier and less expensive to ensure technological updating, system stability, functional evolution and testing of the same.
Industry 4.0
Integration with factory digitizing machines
To guarantee the realization of an Industry 4.0 project, the MES must be able to integrate with the machinery used in production and with mechanisms already present in the field (PLC, CNC, SCADA, machine signals, etc.).
In this way, in fact, the MES can receive and provide information and automate certain activities (such as machine loading), making production faster, more precise and more efficient.
Moreover, if a company faces a phase of evolution of production machinery, the MES application should be able to integrate with new equipment quickly and with minimum effort.
