FACTORY AUTOMATION

Factory management in the era of Industry 4.0

In the Industry 4.0 era, the key word is digitalization, a phenomenon that makes it possible to collect and analyze data through machines. This leads to faster, more flexible and efficient processes so that high quality goods are produced at low costs.

An Industry 4.0 factory is an independent and interconnected entity that has the ability to collect data, analyze it and make automated decisions. This is possible by implementing a suite of systems for the management of all production activities, from the planning stage to the actual manufacture of the products.

APS & MES – the first step towards Industry 4.0

APS is a tool for modeling and testing production scenarios before they are put into practice. The system is frequently used together with the MES solution, which handles the execution of production plans generated by APS.

With the help of a MES solution (for executing factory activities) information can be automatically transmitted to the workers in the production unit.

APS – Advanced Planning and Scheduling

APS shows you what to produce, when to produce, on what equipment and with what resources. The system uses advanced computational algorithms that help balance production capacity with demand, to generate feasible production schedules. With APS you plan in a much shorter time the entire production activity, starting with existing operations and resources to raw material requirements and maintenance activities.

PRODUCTION PLANNING

What challenges do you solve with the production planning solution?

Short-term plans made in Excel

Long production planning process

Lack of visibility on the problems that may appear in production

Inability to apply changes in real time in production planning

Inefficient planning of material requirements

Reduced flexibility in order planning

Impossibility to test various planning scenarios

MES – Manufacturing Execution System – Production Management

MES is a software system that manages and controls the entire production process, from the moment the order is launched until the finished product is ready, in order to optimize all activities and resources in the production process. The system allows real-time visualization of the entire factory, so that you can track at any time both the progress of production and the status, productivity and efficiency of the resources involved.

What challenges do you solve with the production management solution?

Lack of connection between equipment, devices, people and processes within the factory

Inability to automatically collect production data in real time

Increased time to transmit information through rudimentary methods such as pen and paper

Lack of traceability in production activity

Lack of synchronization with real factory data

Lack of real-time access to real production capacity

PLM – Product Lifecycle Management

The PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) solution helps you take control of product information and engineering processes. The platform offers you all the necessary tools to oversee the successive stages of the product life cycle.


PRODUCT LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT

What challenges do you solve with the product lifecycle management solution?

Inefficient management of product data

Difficult launch process of new products on the market

Inability to correlate informational history with new ideas

Poor management of lists of materials and processes

PLM, ERP, MES management productie digitalizare fabrica industrie 4 industrializare software sistem

A modern ERP platform helps you simplify business processes, generate fair prices and calculate total production costs. The ERP system offers a full range of capabilities for any type of production (traditional, unique, small series, project-based) and uses Capable-To-Promise functionality to meet customer requirements, depending on production capacity and material availability.

What challenges do you solve with the ERP platform for production management?

Real-time planning of all key elements (materials, production capacity, process stages and factory schedule) at the factory and production unit level

Quick and accurate estimates of costs and prices for new or existing components, using data such as cost of materials, labor costs, or indirect costs

Easily configure product features, options and dimensions, to minimize order time and increase production process performance

Quick access to specifications, documentation or changes in the production process, for all teams involved

Integrated management of offers, production estimates, production recipes, as well as their multiple revisions

Automation of calculating and generating production orders, using data directly from configurations

WMS (Warehouse Management System) helps you gain full control over the flow of materials in the factory, monitor consumption and production efficiency, and automate quality control processes. The system includes rules for unloading goods (FIFO / FEFO / CMP), allows the management of different units of measurement (l, kg, m, pcs) and offers the possibility to reserve stocks. WMS also ensures serial / batch traceability for raw materials, semi-finished products and finished products.

What challenges do you solve with the warehouse management solution?

Chaotic and inefficient placement of goods in the warehouse

Complex logistics processes difficult to manage and monitor

Lack of visibility on resources and activities in the warehouse

Insufficient and inefficient storage capacity

Human errors in picking and processing orders

Lack of traceability on series and batch for raw materials

Monitoring quality control processes

Tracking consumption and production efficiency

The Inventory system shows you what you need to order, how much to order, when to order and where to store the goods, in order to properly cover stock needs for the production unit. Through the application you can easily plan the necessary stock and you can quickly generate orders for supply, transfer or production. Moreover, the system takes into account all the variables that could influence the size of demand, such as seasonality or trends, so that stocks are permanently correlated with production.

What challenges do you solve with the stock management solution?

Wrong estimation of the need for raw materials

Long time planning of stock requirements

Lack of real-time access to stock levels in multiple locations

Difficulty to adapt to changes in demands and conditions

Lack of access to stock forecasts depending on history, orders or other criteria
