MES

Manufacturing Execution System

The need for a MES system

In a scenario in which business is increasingly influenced by the Internet and end customers can increasingly tell manufacturers what they want, when and where, manufacturers must react with improved flexibility, individualized mass production, high-efficiency and low energy and resource consumption.

The sole focus on the automation of manufacturing processes or on the costs and efficiency of individual production processes is no longer sufficient to survive on the world market and to meet these requirements. A holistic approach across the entire value chain through to suppliers is necessary.

The Manufacturing Execution System (MES) ensures that quality and efficiency are integrated into the manufacturing process and implemented proactively and systematically. The MES connects several plants and locations and can be easily integrated into devices, controls, product life and enterprise business applications, quality and laboratory management systems and many other applications. The result is complete transparency, control and optimization of production and processes throughout the company.

Best Practice - Danfoss

Innovation is important at Danfoss and creates highly configurable products for their customers.

Danfoss is making extensive use of Siemens' MOM portfolio with MES to achieve improvements in the assembly cells for cycle times and first-pass yield, while at the same time keeping quality high and reducing costs.

Your company can also benefit from the advantages of a MES!

Movement, Storage & Tracking of Materials

With digital MES solutions, the movements and storage of materials, intermediate and finished products as well as the transfers between and in the workplaces can be managed and tracked.

Shopfloor Connection

The machine park in modern production facilities is becoming more and more intelligent and increasingly collecting data. These data often remain unused within the various manufacturers' ecosystems.

The goal must be to extract the relevant data from the machine to the process level and use it for optimization

Operator Guidance

Productions are increasingly changing from series production with high quantities to individual production with special features of the individual products.

Of course, the requirements for your production employees also change, which can no longer be conveyed efficiently through training.

Here, you benefit from the direct and simple transfer of information from a MES.
