MES In Industry 4.0

INDUSTRY 4.0 & MES

Industry 4.0 will ensure that "Made in Germany" retains its contending title and remains as a production site and continues to be the leading exporter of production technology. Industry 4.0 has become a constant trend and a key word in the manufacturing industry.

Also, the fourth industrial revolution brings with it new demands on production systems and machines. Therefore production will be increasingly flexible and require immediate response. In addition, the highest degree of transparency is necessary, so that staff - in real time and regardless of location - can interfere with production.

MES can, in turn, build bridges in the future and anticipate the conceptual project as the virtual layer that is primarily needed for Industry 4.0. Whether dealing with networking or their product information dealing with product enrichment or controlling remote product elements - MES can imitate what is needed for future flexible production.

MES aims to streamline production and improve organization. Large scale paperless processing of processes ensures efficient production. With the transparency achieved, current production and orders are available anytime, anywhere. The level of management is independent of normal activities and thus creates concentration in basic tasks. An MES has many tools that help in accurate and precise planning and control, monitoring, and analysis of production and processes.

What makes Industry 4.0 so different?

Companies should accelerate innovation and increase cost. Mass customization and professionalization are becoming the norm. The need for immediate change will result in lower volume higher products and additional lower volume products. Quality should improve the zero defect strategy. Customer requirements - and such products are often complex. At the same time, there is severe rate and margin pressure, even when consumer needs are more complex and diverse.

Existing manufacturing systems and automation strategies cannot deliver these results despite a steady and rapid change. Margins, cycle times, and quality all face maximum mixing and complexity. Significant quality ramp challenges show that as long as the manufacturing process is in control, the market window for management and profitability is closed. As a result, the prospect of serving customers at a higher cost is instead a stumbling block. The key to Industry 4 is to reduce costs and increase the reliability of more customized and less productive products. How does Industry 4.0 enable companies to outperform competitors? By providing a lot of records and intelligence.

Data: IoT devices collect data from multiple contact points at unprecedented frequencies, making valuable, timely and granular facts for decision making. This helps in optimizing existing processes and products online. With machine learning, it automatically improves the management of future runs of a similar product. Machine learning algorithms, trained on historical data and constantly looking, enable decision making very quickly based on predictive analytics.

Intelligence: Products, equipment, and the overall production floor are self-contained and self-improving. Using artificial intelligence, they complete complex tasks in the shortest time possible, and deliver excellent quality, with the least possible cost. Industry 4.0 creates a vibrant marketplace that is both efficient and amazing to adapt to the essentials - even in the fastest and cheapest way - unique products in many sizes.

The New MES for Industry 4.0

As like previous generations of high-tech manufacturing, the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) is still central. In some ways, its role is even more important than in the past.

Unfortunately, not every MES industry used today is able to support 4.0. The data compares traditional MES with two new MES. Industry 4.0 Vision calls for specific capabilities that enable them all. The 5 main areas are: Contact / Sensing / Mobile - Handling sensing element, location, and device IIoT information, while providing more MES contextual cloud / advanced analysis - In plants, realize a plethora of enterprise-related information. Generating, decentralizing mobile and IoT, or large-scale information - controlling and controlling the state of smart products and tools through their IoT vertical integration - integrating controls and automated tools down the manufacturing-wide MES. Ensure that, in addition to the enterprise system, like ERP horizontal integration - the plant is sure to Anna can be a transparent, integrated and predictable part of the supply chain, and is finally ready to move forward as a smart industrial plant during an international market, a feature that points to the new generation of MES. Do. An independent product designed not only for quality, but also for permanent modifications, to partners of good products, equipments, and supply chain cyber-physics systems (CPS) and smart devices (CPS). Monitors and monitors market support.

Conclusion:

Industry 4.0's forecasts provide unique opportunities for defining a targeted roadmap for manufacturing operations in general and IT systems in particular. Centralized and integrated production monitoring and control applications will eventually be eliminated, providing solution pathways that can support this radically different view of the linked yet ventralized production and supply chain process.

Decentralization of computing power needs to be logical, not physical, which is why autonomous decisions are allowed in manufacturing environments such as the market, which is comprised of service providers and service providers across verticals. And the integrated and holistic supply chain to align manufacturing business processes horizontally.

Solutions using these principles exist today and are the ones that will help manufacturers create their manufacturing broader picture and roadmap, with step-by-step steps, from which the industry of. will be drawn towards the ultimate vision of Since the manufacturers own industry.Develop road maps, so it is important to understand these basic principles, so they do not have to face alternative decisions.
