Manufacturing execution system for strip material producers

Manufacturing execution differentiates from production planning via the direct connection to the distributed production automation and control systems. Hence, MES allows to manage, control and execute production in real-time. This includes classical plant data collection, machine data capture as well as other process data which have an immediate impact on the production process. However, the specific conditions of strip material producers such as a multi-stage production of roles rather than of pieces defined by a structured bill-of-material result in very particular requirements for the applied manufacturing execution system. All of this is achieved with our manufacturing execution software MES iGA which also includes a laboratory information management system (LIMS).
