It is human instinct to pursue higher production efficiency.
Whether it is from the most primitive "using hands" to process food to naturally "finding utensils" to replace physical labor, or the continuous iterative updating of labor tools from stone, jade, bronze, to later iron, they all prove cost reduction and efficiency increase Fatal attraction to humans.
When it comes to manufacturing companies, the more general impression is "big".
A large number of fine parts make up a large number of mechanical equipment, and cooperate with a large number of labor force to carry out large-scale data collection and machine maintenance, which jointly support the normal operation of the enterprise. It's just that in the current era of comprehensive informatization and digitalization, the traditional business operation model has gradually made management unable to do what it wanted. At this time, MES systems, which are famous for helping enterprises reduce labor force and achieve cost reduction and efficiency increase, were introduced one after another.
In fact, MES systems are not a very "new" category. It's just that too many fake software vendors who claim to be able to do MES systems with a few reports flood into the market, and some manufacturing companies do not do their homework, fall into traps, or blindly introduce MES systems that are not suitable for them, resulting in the performance of MES systems. Didn't really work. Therefore, those companies that make the most of a good MES system stand out in the industry, and even the MES system they have becomes novelty.
The first step in introducing a suitable and high-quality MES system is to understand your own MES system performance requirements. What are the performance requirements of the MES system?
- ease of use
The end users of the system are mainly company managers and production controllers. However, these personnel have uneven levels of computer operation. Some personnel need special system operation training to be able to master the use of the system, and the affairs that managers need to deal with are usually complicated. Using the MES system can improve their work efficiency. Therefore, when developing the system, it is necessary to focus on the simplicity, ease of operation, and practicality, and strive to provide the final system users with a satisfactory operating experience.
stability
During the daily operation of the MES system, a large amount of system data and business data need to be processed. Due to the complex system and business relationship, it is necessary to ensure the stability of the system, the accuracy and integrity of the data, so as to avoid problems and cause heavy losses to users.
reliability
The stable and safe operation of the system is a very important technical indicator. The safety and stability of the system cannot be sacrificed in pursuit of new functions, high performance and new technologies of the system. To try to achieve a higher cost performance of the system, more practical, so we must have such an idea, that is, a good system must first be a system that can be used. From this point of view, the user interface is friendly, intuitive and convenient, and easy to operate, which are very necessary design features.
Scalability
Enterprises are gradually promoting information construction, and MES system is an important part of it. With the construction of various business systems within the enterprise, the enterprise system business also needs to be continuously changed or expanded in the later stage. Therefore, in order to facilitate later maintenance and upgrades, the system must have good scalability.
safety
The MES system usually runs in a local area network, but it may also run in an external network environment, so it will be subject to various security threats from the network. In the process of system analysis and design, various security measures and solutions must be fully considered to prevent various security situations from happening. At the same time, all kinds of data should be backed up regularly, so that when there is a problem with the MES system, it can be restored in time to ensure the continuous operation of the system.
In addition, before users perform business processing, they need to obtain access control authority to perform operations. This enhances system security and ensures data integrity and consistency.
- compatibility
The MES system should have good compatibility and can easily integrate some subsystems and plug-ins. When deploying, it can adapt to most operating systems as much as possible. The front end needs to be compatible when displayed on different terminals. The connected database needs to support multiple types, such as switching from Oracle to mysql smoothly.
