M.E.S. Manufacturing Execution System:
Applications:
The Manufacturing Execution System is a computing platform that links the ERP management system (Purchasing, Planning, Warehousing, etc.) to production resources (machines, production lines) on a plant level.
M.E.S. aims to increase plant productivity by optimising resource management, thereby improving:
-
Efficiency: Machine efficiency (OEE: Overall Equipment Efficiency) by controlling machine states.
-
Manufacturing order management: instantaneous information about manufacturing order state; amount outstanding, completed, expected completion date, etc.
-
Traceability: ascendant, descendant and transversal traceability, including process conditions under which batches have been produced.
-
Logistics by means of bar code labelling of intermediate and end batches, automatically updating warehouses (production and consumable)
-
Onsite quality control, manual and automatic, through the integration of measurement equipment.
