With the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry, the MES system, as an important part of production informatization, is being adopted by more and more enterprises. However, when selecting a supplier, how to evaluate the supplier's MES system has become a difficult problem that manufacturing companies need to face.
First of all, the evaluation of the supplier's MES system needs to consider the following aspects:
- Functional completeness: The MES system needs to include functions in various aspects such as production planning and scheduling, material control, manufacturing execution, quality management, equipment management, etc. Therefore, the supplier's MES system needs to have complete functional coverage.
- System reliability: For manufacturing enterprises, the MES system is the core system of production informationization. Therefore, the supplier's MES system needs to have the characteristics of high system stability, reliable operation, and data security to ensure the stable operation of the production information system. .
- Technical adaptability: The adaptability of the MES system needs to take into account many aspects such as the production characteristics, equipment types, and management modes of the enterprise. The supplier needs to provide an MES system that meets the actual needs of the enterprise according to the specific conditions of the enterprise to achieve the best Good information effect.
- Service support: The supplier's service support is one of the important considerations in choosing an MES system. The supplier needs to provide complete pre-sales consulting, implementation services, after-sales technical support and other services to ensure that the MES system can meet the production information needs of the enterprise.
When evaluating MES system suppliers, manufacturing companies can start from the following aspects:
- Understand the supplier's products: By understanding the supplier's MES system products, understand its functions, characteristics, advantages, etc., to judge whether the supplier's MES system meets the actual needs of the enterprise.
- Understand the supplier's technical strength: By understanding the supplier's technical strength, including information on R&D teams, technical support, solutions, etc., it is possible to judge whether the supplier has the ability to provide an MES system that meets the actual needs of the enterprise.
- Understand the supplier's implementation experience: By understanding the supplier's implementation experience, including information on enterprise type, industry, equipment type, etc., to determine whether the supplier has the ability to provide the best practice MES system implementation plan for the enterprise.
- Understand the supplier's after-sales service: By understanding the supplier's after-sales service, including technical support, training, maintenance and other information, to determine whether the supplier has the ability to provide complete after-sales service for the enterprise.
Finally, when a manufacturing company evaluates an MES system supplier, it needs to pay attention to the actual situation, including the understanding of the company's production characteristics, equipment type, management mode, etc., as well as the supplier's products, technical strength, implementation experience and after-sales service, etc. comprehensive assessment. In addition, manufacturing enterprises can also visit the actual case of the supplier to understand the application of the supplier's MES system in the actual production environment, so as to further judge the actual ability of the supplier.
In short, evaluating a supplier's MES system requires comprehensive consideration of multiple factors, including functional completeness, system reliability, technical adaptability, and service support, and at the same time paying attention to understanding the actual situation of the enterprise in order to choose the one that best meets the needs of the enterprise. MES system supplier.
In addition, in order to ensure the smooth implementation and stable operation of the MES system, manufacturing companies also need to establish a good cooperative relationship with suppliers. This includes clarifying the responsibilities and obligations of both parties, standardizing the project implementation process, and establishing an effective communication mechanism. In addition, manufacturing companies also need to provide sufficient support and input for the implementation of the MES system, including providing project managers and implementation teams, and providing suitable hardware and software environments for the MES system.
In short, the evaluation of the supplier's MES system needs to consider multiple factors comprehensively, pay attention to the actual situation, and establish a good cooperative relationship with the supplier in order to realize the effective implementation of production informationization.
Here, the editor takes the jabdp low-code development platform as an example, let us understand how to realize the rapid development of the MES system. The jabdp platform is a free and full-featured open-source low-code platform that supports domestic operating systems and databases. It only needs to know simple javascript and sql to realize complex business functions.
Advantages of building MES system with jabdp low-code platform
1. Strong "plasticity"
The low-code platform itself has strong "plasticity" and supports a lot of calculations and improvements in the subsequent application process. In addition, it also supports users to independently expand or modify anytime and anywhere, and supports docking with third-party systems, which is convenient for enterprises to manage business and interact with relevant data, thereby improving work efficiency.
2. Optimize the business process of the enterprise
JianTai provides a custom platform to modularize business functions and standardize interfaces (SOA architecture design), so that users can flexibly arrange and combine their own business processes according to their own needs, so as to optimize existing processes.
3. Reduce the cost of enterprise management and digital implementation
The MES system establishes a cost advantage for the enterprise through detailed management; through real-time fine monitoring of materials and other measures, the production loss is controlled to the lowest and most reasonable state, and the utilization rate of resources is maximized.
4. Private cloud deployment, safe and stable
Jabdp focuses on the private cloud deployment mode, which allows enterprises to place the project management system on the internal network segment of the enterprise, blocking various insecure reasons of the external network, and ensuring the privacy of project data. And you can customize the system update time and update version to reduce various unstable factors caused by system updates.
5. Zero-code configuration for simple functions, low-code development for complex functions
