Control production with MES

Control production with MES

Manufacturing Execution System or MES is analysing production lines, downtime management for overall equipment effectiveness, resource cycling, order execution, and dispatch. Tracking manufacturing activities and monitoring transformation of raw materials to finished goods. MES gives decision-makers the data they need to make the plant floor more efficient and optimize production.

Today most of the government contractors use MES to have real-time insights of data captured, documentation of all details, and proof of processes.

Transparency Market Research report predicts that the global manufacturing execution system (MES) market is expected to exhibit a staggering 11.2% CAGR growth. Also, the market is projected to generate revenue of US$18.06 bn by the end of 2025. This whopping growth of the market is attributed to the growing demand for manufacturing execution system solutions in countries like China, India, and Brazil.

An appliances manufacturing company of a famous industry group were experiencing losses, due to indigent management. The manufacturing issues were identified by arodek team, the best-equipped resolutions were provided in stock maintenance, vendor payment, removing traditional method of maintaining documents of each process.

Solutions and benefits are described below-

Replacing spreadsheets and Paper Notes- With SAP MES integration, Document Management System was installed to replace every data input in the system rather in spreadsheets and paper notes. The data are captured through the use of document scanners.

Invoice Processing – automation process of vendor invoicing through OCR and integration with SAP, thus reducing re-work of resources, and idleness.

Reduce Costs- The operations get better control, availability of analytical data, and reports of production to decision-makers at the time of their need. This process eventually enables controlling inventory to distribution.

Decrease Downtime- Tracking time involved in per unit production, re-configuration of schedules, and raw materials unused in inventory becomes smooth with MES, helps make effective use of resources.

Reduce Inventory- The system will spontaneously update the inventory records, new production, excess goods in storage, warehousing, and goods in transit.

Production process analysis –Comparing the production process of the past period and present tracked as per user’s requirements.

Production and Planning – With MES implementation various information related to inventories, stocks status, warehouse management maintained virtually in real time . Thus, forecasting production of new units and planning behind the entire task gets operated with actuals and comparative data from system.

A MES works more than generally tracking the number of products as output from entire production lines and shop floors. Adding a MES solution to the company accomplished with ease and precision.
