These are some of the key benefits with the MES;

  • Supports flexibility and complex production
  • Keep up with digitalization and Connectivity, ties in to your shop floor and equipment.
  • Real time site information
  • Full Track and Traceability on products and production
  • Production support and increase of OEE / Productivity
  • Follow up and keep track of raw materials and production cost
  • Workforce communication and operational support, Enable communication and information flow between shifts and teams.

FUNCTIONS

Merci Éric pour ce partage ! À mon avis, C’est un must pour toutes les entreprises manufacturières (que le procédé soit en continu /procédé ou par lot), cette plate-forme permet le contrôle de paramètres définis tels que des données spécifiques de la qualité, production , maintenance , des variables critiques de procédé... ! Bref, il ne reste qu’à remonter les données de ces modules au ERP et de les valoriser quel que soit le calcul et le visuel souhaité!
