MES system - record production like never before. Software for measuring and recording production parameters from aveneo.

Do you settle production time based on operators' records, but you don't know whether they are precise? You don't know how many raw materials and components are used during your production? The waste generated is not registered in any way and it is difficult to determine which production generates the most of it? Are production settlements based on the monthly average, and not precise data from specific processes?

MES - Software for recording and monitoring production

The MES (Manufacturing Execution System) system is a set of tools for recording and monitoring progress in production processes. By implementing such a solution, we gain the ability to register production data that can feed other production software modules and, above all, provide multidimensional production reports. Data recording can take place in several variants

  • manually, using the ergonomic operator panel,
  • automatically, thanks to integration with machinery or monitoring devices,
  • semi-automatically using e.g. data collectors such as barcode readers.

Components of the MES system from aveneo: Methods of recording and exploring production data


Production panel / MES
Production panel / MES

Using the production dashboard, production operators can enter data, monitor production parameters and communicate with other team members. This solution can be run both on the existing computer at the workstation and on a new device dedicated specifically for this purpose. It is a perfect complement to the operator panel. We recommend that the device has a touch screen, but this is not a necessary requirement.

Integration with IIoT machines and devices
Integration with IIoT machines and devices

Integration with both the entire machine park and individual tools allows you to record production parameters and actions in a completely automatic manner. Data is linked precisely to the production process. Integration can take place both at the level of machine controllers and using additional infrastructure and a set of sensors prepared specifically for the needs of a specific station.

QR codes, barcodes, RFID
QR codes, barcodes, RFID

Production processes can also be registered using barcodes, QR codes or RFID tags. It can be both a supplement to the production panel and the sole method of recording data. In the so-called in a dirty zone, the use of touch screens or computers may be unfavorable. In such a case, we recommend using dedicated data collectors that meet tightness standards, without displays, permanently connected to the server.

Production report
Production report

The production report generated by the MES System allows for multidimensional data exploration recorded at every stage of the production process. Data with great precision is recorded as the intersection of all production parameters. This allows for the freedom to further filter and multi-stage aggregation to finally obtain a detailed and accurate summary.

Production dashboards
Production dashboards

Production dashboards allow you to create a tool for continuous monitoring of production from many workstations in one place. Thanks to this, both the production manager and the management staff can have access to always current production data, which progresses live.

Recording production times


Employee times

Settlement of working time

Recording working times may be the basic source of employee settlements, as well as the basis for granting bonuses.

Analysis of the brigade composition

The composition of the production brigade may be useful in optimizing teams so that the competence curve is as high as possible.

Performance report

This report allows you to locate factors affecting production efficiency among employees. Among the remedial factors, it is worth considering, for example, training courses.

Changeover times

Device status

Recording downtime and production time allows you to build awareness of what part of the entire production process duration is the actual use of the available resource.

Breakdowns

Recording any undesirable situations allows you to take remedial measures in the context of future production. The level of detail of the recorded failure time allows you to calculate potential losses and lost production margin.

Data correlation

Thanks to information about the device's operating time, you can obtain a lot of additional information - e.g. energy consumption does not have to be recorded directly from the meters, but to simplify the model it can be estimated.

Changeover times

SMED

Searching for the minimum changeover time is much easier when you have a wide range of production times.

Service operations

Recording service times allows you to precisely plan them in the future in the context of the production plan.

Example application of recording production times

Recording production parameters


Recording production parameters is important both on a micro and macro scale. On a micro scale, it allows you to build awareness of each product individually and, for example, detect the causes of quality problems in the event of complaints at a later stage. Macro-scale analysis opens the field to search for optimization. Additionally, recording production in real time enables the introduction of digital tags that allow, for example, the identification of quality problems that require special attention at subsequent production stages.

Example parameters


Machine armament parameters
