1. What is MES system?
MES system, the full name of Manufacturing Execution System (Manufacturing Execution System), is an information system used to manage and monitor the manufacturing process. It collects, analyzes and shares production data in real time, provides comprehensive production planning, scheduling, tracking and reporting functions, and helps enterprises realize the visualization and optimization of the manufacturing process.
2. What are the functions of MES management system?
1. Real-time monitoring and management of production progress
In the past, the production management of many enterprises in the manufacturing industry neglected to control the production progress, or the lack of technology caused the production progress to be opaque, resulting in gray areas and easy economic losses.
The production management system can not only display all production planning information and its status, but also screen the items that require attention, so as to facilitate the supervision and management of the production progress.
2. Digital registration of various basic materials
Compared with information registration, which usually uses paper or Excel registration, these two methods are relatively simple and convenient when the number is small, but in the long run, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is easy to lose and inaccurate data.
All data can be digitally registered through the production management system, which not only facilitates storage but also helps staff improve efficiency.
- Process information
Fill in the process information first, and then set the process corresponding to the process route; the
process information and process route list report display all process and process route information, and you can perform the operation of adding corresponding data;
- material information
Material information stores all materials, finished products, semi-finished products, parts and other material information;
Product configuration is used to configure the BOM, process route, process inspection, incoming material inspection, finished product inspection and other information of the finished product. After configuring these data, the production plan can automatically generate information such as production consumables, process procedures, and quality inspection processes;
The material information table displays all material data, and operations for adding new materials and material configuration (product configuration) can be performed;
The product configuration list displays the data of all product configurations, which can be used to generate production plans;
3. Production planning and scheduling management
Through the production management system, all production plan information can be displayed, and material storage and new plan operations can be performed. The planned status of the purchased materials will change, and the purchase material operation cannot be performed anymore;
4. Transparent production process
The planning information of the production plan is the plan after the purchased materials are put into the warehouse. In this report, you can operate the operations of sending materials (receiving materials at the line), putting into production, process inspection, reporting, and putting into storage. Each operation has a production plan. In the corresponding state, the plan after the operation has been sent and received can no longer perform the corresponding operation, and the same is true for other operations;
Line-side receiving is an operation form for the production line to receive materials (production consumables) from the warehouse. After receiving materials, the warehouse will reduce the number of materials, and the number of materials in the line-side warehouse will increase;
Putting into production refers to recording the information that the materials are used in the production plan after receiving materials at the line. After putting into production, the number of materials in the lineside warehouse will decrease;
Work report refers to the report record of production completion. Submit the actual production quantity data and whether the process is completed or not before submitting the work. After submission, the status of the production plan will be updated;
5. Quality inspection management automation
Quality inspection is divided into incoming material quality inspection, process quality inspection, and finished product quality inspection. Incoming material quality inspection will automatically initiate the process of incoming material quality inspection after the purchased materials are put into storage. Only those who pass the quality inspection can submit to end the process;
The process inspection is the quality inspection process form in the production process. The process inspection process will be automatically initiated after production, and can only be submitted after passing the quality inspection;
Finished product inspection is a finished product quality inspection process that is automatically initiated after reporting for work, and can only be submitted after passing the quality inspection. The status after the above quality inspection is submitted will be updated to the production plan;
6. Equipment management
Through the production management system, it is convenient to perform operations such as inspection, maintenance, repair, and addition of equipment. The equipment information table shown below shows all production equipment and non-production equipment information and other records.
7. In addition, the above management system can also be used as follows:
- Support the use of mobile terminals, breaking the restrictions of the region to deal with emergencies in a timely manner;
- Support the use of DingTalk, Enterprise WeChat, Feishu, and WeChat official accounts, which is more efficient;
- Support custom expansion and private cloud deployment, security and flexibility coexist.
3. What are the advantages of MES system?
1. Real-time:
The MES system can collect and process data in the production process in real time, provide timely feedback on production status, monitor production progress and equipment status in real time, and help enterprises make decisions and adjust production plans quickly.
2. Data integration:
The MES system can integrate data from different departments and systems, including ERP systems, equipment monitoring systems, quality management systems, etc., to achieve comprehensive management and analysis of production data and improve production efficiency and quality.
3. Automatic control:
The MES system can realize the automatic control of the production process, and improve production efficiency and product quality by integrating and controlling equipment, as well as automatic production scheduling and process control.
4. Efficiency:
The MES system can optimize production planning and scheduling, improve resource utilization and production efficiency, reduce waste and downtime in production, and improve the operating efficiency of the production line.
5. Quality management:
The MES system can monitor and analyze quality data in the production process in real time, detect problems and abnormalities in time, provide quality analysis reports and traceability functions, and help enterprises achieve quality management and improvement.
6. Visualization and report analysis:
The MES system can provide an intuitive visual interface and report analysis function to help enterprises better understand the production process and data, and make accurate decisions and optimizations.
7. Flexibility:
The MES system can be customized and expanded according to the needs of enterprises to meet the special needs of different industries and enterprises, and has high flexibility and scalability.
Summarize
The MES system has the functions and advantages of real-time monitoring and controlling the production process, improving production efficiency and quality, providing comprehensive production information and decision support, optimizing supply chain management, and supporting sustainable development and green manufacturing. Therefore, MES management system is an important tool for modern manufacturing management, which can help enterprises improve their competitiveness and achieve sustainable development.
