Summary
People often refer to manufacturing in simple, narrow terms: process vs. discrete, assembly vs. fabrication, make-to-stock vs. make-to-order, etc., but in reality, many manufacturers do multiple operations every day:
- Your primary production is complex assembly, but you also have repetitive processes like stamping and molding
- You start with a batch process, but then it becomes discrete (i.e., beauty products where you produce liquids in batch mode, but then put them in discrete packaging for additional handling or processing)
- Multiple plants constitute an internal supply chain, with some plants doing fabrication, some light, high-speed assembly, and some complex assembly
- You have some highly automated plants with complex equipment integration requirements, and others with very manual processes
Numerous MES/MOM solutions specialize in a single industry or manufacturing type, and there are low-code solutions that offer tool kits that encourage companies to build their own MES software from scratch. Those approaches, however, don't effectively manage wide varieties of operations.
In this informative session, you’ll hear from customers in industries as varied as cosmetics, automotive, and aerospace & defense about how they’re all using the same solution successfully across these very different manufacturing models. We’ll explain:
- Why an MES/MOM solution that works across manufacturing models is so important
- How a single solution works in such varied environments
- Key capabilities of these systems
- How these systems bring real, measurable benefits in better production performance and lower costs
- How to make the best use of these capabilities in a global, multi-plant environment
- How these systems work with Artificial Intelligence and Augmented Reality
Throughout this session, we will bring you real-life examples of how a flexible, configurable MES/MOM solution can work across manufacturing models to improve key measures like OEE, Quality, Right First Time, etc., while also reducing costs such as labor, inventory and rework.
