Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES)
When we talk about Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), we refer to those software solutions that allow us to map the flow of the various stages of production to know the status or results of the processes in real time.
Through MES networks, it is possible to maintain control over procedures, an issue that sets a standard in industries of any size and of all types, to generate greater value and profitability of their assets.
Functionalities and advantages of production execution systems
In the automation of industrial processes, MES systems are a fundamental factor in their development, because they correspond to the tasks of the operating networks within the production processes. In other words, their function is to activate, monitor and control the total production of the entire plant.
It also provides relevant information of what happens in all stages of product development and generates reports in real time. The data obtained are processed in order to improve areas of opportunity in the procedures; they are streamlined, optimized and more efficient.
The main functions and advantages of manufacturing execution systems include the following:
Monitoring, documentation and tracking of processes in order to know the overall status of operations and eliminate those steps that do not add value.
Transparency in assets and cost reduction by optimizing quality.
Control change and data management.
Provide support during all stages of production.
To monitor operations in order to carry out constant improvement in the traceability of processes.
Post-sale monitoring and guarantees.
In addition to the above, we must consider that the use of manufacturing execution systems will always depend on the structure and type of production. Therefore, it is important to perform an initial diagnosis to know the current context and identify areas of opportunity in the planning and production services to execute the procedures through MES.
The implementation of an MES system is done in a modular way depending on the needs of each industry. Among the most important categories are:
- Performance
- Net weight
- Printing (barcodes and process labels)
- Quality
- Recipe Management
- Tracking
- Material Handling
- Tipping
- Baching
- Energy
