Manufacturing Execution Systems
Manufacturing Execution Systems are allowing successful manufacturers to gain a competitive edge in today's market.
The model used to represent the modern manufacturing process consists of three distinct layers. The first (bottom) layer is Automation and Control Systems, which incorporates PLC and SCADA control. The final (top) layer is Corporate Business Administration Systems, which consists of well-known enterprise packages such as SAP, JD Edwards and Prism.
The Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) layer binds the top and bottom layers together, creating a path for data and information from the factory floor to the corporate planning level. Significant opportunities for process improvement and cost savings exist within this layer, such as...
- Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE)
