Industry Characteristics
The machinery and metal industry has been utilizing systems mainly for production performance management at the POP* level, but with the increase in production varieties and process complexity, the adoption of smart factories for real-time manufacturing execution management is gaining momentum. To increase the productivity of manufacturing and assembling parts through material processing — casting/forging/cutting, molding, heat treatment, etc. — data from the entire process ranging from design quality management, work order management, production quality management, and work-in-process/inventory management to logistics management are interconnected to share real-time information and visualize the manufacturing site to increase equipment utilization and respond quickly to issues.
