Manufacturing Execution

When production requires better control, operational management and real-time monitoring provide full visibility of the entire chain, from incoming materials to delivery. With digitized production management, the flow of information is connected in real time, improving quality, reducing costs and providing stronger decision support.

Digital control gives you full control in real time

Full traceability

Get total visibility into material flow, operator inputs and machine status. All documented and searchable.

More efficient production

Reduce downtime, optimize resource use, shorten lead times and identify bottlenecks using real-time data.

Improved quality

Identify non-conformities early, act quickly and ensure the right product is delivered with the right quality.

Common challenges

-> Lack of overview and real-time data

-> Unscheduled stops

-> Quality deficiencies

-> Lack of traceability

-> Manual procedures and disseminated information in e.g. Excel

-> Low OEE

-> Synchronization between departments

Here's how we've solved past challenges

Reduced quality defects & higher efficiency

The problem

Material-intensive production with a high level of manual operations gave rise to quality shortcomings and high inventory costs.

Solution

Implementation of MES solution focusing on production activities, quality control and material management along the entire production flow.

Result

Reduced quality defects by 10%, increased efficiency and traceability of materials and which steps have been performed when and by whom. Data as a basis for continuous improvement and future investments.

About this position

Synchronized and data-driven production

With full traceability and control

Take control of your factory with our MES solutions for better operational control, increased visibility and real-time follow-up. With the right information to the right person, machine or role at the right time, a synchronized production flow is created that is both efficient and traceable.

Connecting production with business systems, automation and quality processes creates a transparent, data-driven environment. Our solutions act as a digital hub that connects the entire production chain.

A centralized platform integrates planning, execution and follow-up so that every part of the flow is connected, from order to delivery. This enables more predictable, efficient and continuously improved production, where decisions can be made quickly with the support of both historical and current data.

Features and benefits

-> Make data-driven decisions using visualizations, KPIs and historical trends.

-> Ensures that the right instructions reach operators and equipment in real time

-> Support for digital workflows - instructions, logbooks, notifications

-> Visualization of production flows, status and resources in a common interface

-> Built-in traceability on materials, processes, machines and operator inputs

-> Automated data collection, digital workflows and compliance support

-> Real-time management and visualization of status, resources and processes

-> Monitoring of OEE and other key production indicators with historical analysis

Questions and answers

A digital platform for production is an important piece of the puzzle and a tool on the journey towards Industry 4.0 and 5.0 for manufacturing companies.

MES systems are at the heart of production and are central to enabling Industry 4.0 by integrating and automating production processes. As a tool for digital transformation towards the smart factory, this type of system helps to connect machines, people and peripheral systems. By collecting and analyzing real-time data, they improve the productivity, quality and flexibility of manufacturing processes. They also enable predictive maintenance and resource optimization, reducing downtime and increasing efficiency.

For companies aiming for Industry 5.0, MES systems play an important role by supporting and coordinating human-machine collaboration. They also facilitate sustainability monitoring and reporting under the CSRD directive, for example, and help companies to monitor their use of resources and reduce their energy consumption and environmental impact. Digital production platforms and MES/MOM solutions integrate automation with human expertise, making companies better equipped to innovate, focus on customers, and address new challenges and rapid changes towards smarter and more sustainable production.

When it comes to the digitization of business functions in manufacturing companies, the main focus is on these four areas: quality, production, inventory and maintenance.

Digging deeper into the production perspective, these are: Production planning (planning and scheduling), Material flows and manufacturing flows (routing), Resource management (personnel, authorizations, etc.), equipment and machine status, product information, release, quality management (quality checks, SPC, yield, rejects, rework), production follow-up (stop motion analysis, equipment availability, OEE), data collection (machine hook-ups, manual input, sensor, IIOT, etc.), inventory (warehouse, truck transportation, material buffers, inventory, QR and barcode counting), automation and control systems.

Some key technologies include:

Production planning and scheduling from customer order to delivery (meeting delivery dates, managing changes in production based on material and machine availability and actual outcome per operation).
MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems): For real-time monitoring and control of production processes.
IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things): to connect machines and collect data.
Big Data and AI: To collect and analyze large amounts of data and improve production processes and decision-making (e.g. quality checks with AI or analysis of large amounts of process data)
Automation and Robotics: To automate manual processes.
Digital Twins: To quickly create digital copies of the production process and see the impact of changes digitally before they are introduced in reality.

In order to have traceability throughout production and the possibility to act and coordinate production in real time, the following data is in focus:

Production data: Data on production speed, cycle times, and machine performance.
Quality data: Data on defects, recalls and quality checks.
Maintenance data: Data on machine maintenance and downtime.
Sales data: Data on orders, sales trends and customer feedback.

OEE, which stands for Overall Equipment Effectiveness, is a key performance indicator used to measure and improve the efficiency of manufacturing processes. In Swedish, the term TAK is used, which stands for Availability, Plant Utilization and Quality. OEE takes into account different types of production losses and divides them into three categories:

Availability: Measures losses that occur due to downtime.
Performance (Plant Utilization): Measures losses due to machines or processes running slower than the maximum speed.
Quality: Measures losses of products that do not meet quality standards.

By combining these three factors, OEE provides an overall picture of how efficiently a manufacturing process is working. A high OEE value indicates an efficient and optimized production with minimal losses.

A Manufacturing Execution System (MES) is a system that monitors, controls and collects information about production processes in real time. MES systems help ensure efficiency and quality by integrating and optimizing both processes and information from all areas of production. This type of system becomes the heart of production, helping to coordinate and optimize production activities to improve quality, efficiency and profitability.
