MES (Manufacturing Execution System) System and Software

Production management is one of those essential activities aimed at ensuring a perfect balance in the corporate management of a manufacturing company. In the era of industry 4.0, all this is possible through an organization that takes into account above all the innovation of digital systems, in order to obtain a correct functioning of resources (man and machine).

In particular, through the implementation of software MES, the following activities can be made digital and automatic:

• Collect data
• Check the progress of production stages
• Monitor resources
• Track materials and final products

Tesar, attraverso la gestione della produzione, aiuta le aziende di produzione a collegare l’uomo e la macchina consentendo una condivisione di dati e analisi delle performance di produzione; infatti, è possibile creare simulazioni di scenari produttivi ed effettuare una schedulazione avanzata.

Nel gestire la produzione un sistema MES favorisce l’ottimizzazione della produttività e dei costi dal momento che si considerano i fermi, gli articoli prodotti, gli scarti di lavorazione e la visualizzazione dei processi produttivi real time, dando la possibilità di velocizzare il workflow produttivo.

Un altro aspetto importante è il collegamento uomo – macchina che è perfettamente adattabile per ogni tipo di risorsa; inoltre, il MES costruito in modo customizzato per le specifiche fasi di catena di montaggio fornisce un’analisi precisa di diversi KPI, in particolare dell’OEE = Availability*Performance*Quality dove:

Tesar, through production management, helps production companies to connect man and machine by enabling data sharing and analysis of production performance; in fact, it is possible to create simulations of production scenarios and perform advanced scheduling.

In production management, an MES system favours productivity and cost optimisation as it takes into account downtime, produced items, scrap and real time visualisation of production processes, giving the possibility to speed up the production workflow.

Another important aspect is the man-machine link, which is perfectly adaptable for each type of resource; furthermore, the MES built in a customised way for specific assembly line phases provides a precise analysis of different KPIs, in particular of OEE = Availability*Performance*Quality where:

Another advantage in production management is the verification of the availability of raw materials and semi-finished products for the creation of the finished product; thus, by cross-referencing the right information, an optimisation of the production plan is achieved.

It is important to automate the summary procedures in the analysis of production data because it provides a clear and quick view of the production trend in order to take timely action on adjustments.

Automation in production through software and modern technology has simplified the experience of several industries, perhaps most of all that of electronics with its rather short product life cycle and need for constant change - so the introduction of automation in production management in a very dynamic market can speed up the fulfilment of these needs.

Tesar accompanies manufacturing companies along the complex path of factory digitisation, with 30 years of experience in the field it is the partner prepared to make production processes more efficient and tackle this change by making the Return on Investment a reality.
