Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES)
Speed of communication and accuracy of production data are vital to the decision support systems of a manufacturing enterprise. Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) can ensure a continuous flow of data from the automation level to the control and management level , resulting in more responsive operations and increase in on-time deliveries. MES systems can avoid waiting times for materials, reduce set-up times, preparation times and wastage. Real-time data on the progress or delays of material can greatly improve visibility through the supply chain resulting in lower costs. This gives better scheduling decisions and material flow co-ordination.
The Broner MES solution is designed to conform to the ISA-95 standard for MES. This defines processes and interactions for operations management and includes some scheduling functions provided by Broner Scheduling modules.
Broner MES solution comprises a wide range of packaged modules built for the specific needs of steel and aluminium companies. These modules are built using the best-of-breed InfoPlus.21 real-time database and process data collection technology from Aspen Technology. The system is tightly integrated with the planning, scheduling and ERP systems to provide visibility of shop-floor activity throughout the business and decision support systems.
The solution is highly configurable and benefits from the use of a high performance database that is designed for high-speed acquisition of large volumes of data and long-term storage.
Broner standard MES Execution modules are designed in accordance with the ISA-95 Specifications for Manufacturing Execution Systems.
