A modern Manufacturing Execution System (MES) collects data that can be analysed to uncover flaws in processes, revealing the hidden factory. How? • A versatile MES records, tracks, and reports on the time it takes to deal with events. These reports, when examined with a trained eye, reveal what went right and what went wrong. • Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) provide a variety of long and short-term manufacturing benefits, as well as strategic advantages such as increased yields, lower operating costs, and increased compliance.
What exactly is MES?MESA claims that (Manufacturing Execution System Association International), • Manufacturing execution systems provide data that allows for the optimization of production activities from order entry to finished goods. • MES guides, initiates, responds to, and reports on plant activities as they occur, using current and accurate data. • Rapid response to changing conditions, combined with a focus on reducing non-value-added activities, drives efficient plant operations and processes. • Through bidirectional communications, MES provides mission-critical information about production activities across the enterprise and supply chain.” • Manufacturing Execution Systems collect production data from multiple plants and easily integrate with equipment, controllers, and enterprise business applications.
Why Do Businesses Require a mes software (Manufacturing Execution System)? • Many businesses still manually enter data or distribute work instructions on paper. Most of them, however, are aware that there is a better way to organise the flurry of activity on the plant floor. • MES makes that activity and the underlying data visible, uses that data to improve how that activity is done, and makes it repeatable. • It connects multiple sites, integrates with equipment, and improves the effectiveness of business applications in order to improve operational efficiency.
