The only one reason why to invest in MES system for your production
As the world becomes more connected and businesses strive to become more efficient, the need for advanced manufacturing technology is becoming increasingly important. One of the most significant advances in manufacturing technology is the MES system. This system helps manufacturers manage their production processes more efficiently and effectively. In this article, we will discuss the […]
How to get automatically reports from production
Digitalization means that reporting in its traditional form, as we have known it for years – in paper form, symbolically passed from hand to hand – is a thing of the past. Today, production, quality or maintenance reports can – and should – be filled out automatically and then distributed in the same way within […]
How to monitor and control automated assembly production line?
With the advent of Industry 4.0, broadly defined automation of production lines has become a standard, without which it is difficult to imagine a modern manufacturing plant. However, in order to fully exploit the production line’s potential, a system such as Smart Machine is required, which ensures easy and fast monitoring and control of the […]
How to optimize production plan?
Nowadays, production planning requires particular precision, operating in real time and updating objectives in relation to the current state of the machines. Only on this basis can one ensure continuous and timely execution of tasks. How to optimize a production plan using Real-time Scheduling system? Today, the effectiveness of all production operations can be […]
12 reasons why the OEE is low
Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is low due to one or more of the following factors: availability, performance, and quality. Availability may be low due to unplanned downtime, downtime duration, and lack of improvement in KPIs. Unplanned downtime can be caused by reactive maintenance, failing to gather information about downtime, slow reaction times by maintenance services, […]
How to model production process in MES?
The successful MES implementation depends on several factors – from the correct implementation of the data being collected to the precise analysis of the information. What should be considered when planning manufacturing process modelling? MES provides a number of advantages in this respect, but a few fundamental principles must be maintained. What is […]
How to effectively monitor production progress in real-time?
The tracking of changes in production – progress, lead times, possible sources of delays – plays a particularly important role in the industry. Delivering products in a timely manner is often determined by several factors: downtime, production time, and production process stability. In addition, paper reports are often delivered with multi-hour delays, thus prolonging reaction […]
How to manage reworks in production?
Let’s be honest – the term “rework” is most commonly associated with delays in production. Technically speaking, rework means correcting failed, defective, non-conforming items. It is essential to reduce manufacturing and production rework and repairs in order to save money and achieve higher quality across the board. However, this requires detailed planning and strategies that […]
How to guide operator on shop floor – step by step production and changeovers
Operator guidance is an essential part of the production process. It primarily ensures that the process is executed following the developed technological guidelines. Step-by-step support of the worker also eliminates the need for additional manipulation of parameters and ensures that no production step is overlooked. Control support by MES class systems allows reminding about […]
