Why Needed?
You need a globally proven MES that can respond to various market/value changes.
Companies mulling MES adoption
-
- Trouble
- Lack of a baseline for data collection and a management system for data analysis
- Lack of a system to check and share manufacturing floor in real time
- Necessity to manually check on both shop floor and process data
-
- Troubleshooting
- Analysis/management of manufacturing activities based on data through a solution linkable to production resource (4M1E*) data collection *4M1E: Man, Machine, Material, Method and Energy
- Strengthening production management system through real-time data visualization and information monitoring of various work statuses
- Confirmation of process progress and machine operation status on the system through machine connectivity
Companies with experience of implementing an MES
-
- Trouble
- Underutilization due to a mismatch between shop floor conditions and system functions
- Difficulty in additional upscaling due to non-standardized process and site-specific system integration(SI)
- Lack of maintenance, technical support from the previous solution provider causing system operation and management issues
-
- Troubleshooting
- Provision of industry-specific features to enable customized process implementation to the local environment
- Provision of scalable solutions that can proactively respond to changes in business strategy, new plant construction, etc.
- Continuous services from professional solution provider capable of reflecting customer's requirement, as well as giving technical support
The leading power semiconductor company was experiencing a lack of productivity caused by workers manually reporting inputs and results. By creating a computerized manufacturing management system with Miracom's MESplus, they were able to collect clear production aggregate data and establish delivery schedules and stable production plans. The system allowed them to reach their goal of minimizing manufacturing lead time by strengthening production management.
A specialized automotive battery maker built an MES that features the manufacturing operation infrastructure and battery industry-specific functions to expand production lines at the new factory. The proactive detection of process abnormalities secured a quality accident prevention system and the equipment utilization rate was improved through equipment status monitoring. These activities allowed customers to maintain growth through increased work efficiency and improved competitiveness.
A global aluminum parts company was faced with the problem of manually managing on-site data. By implementing Miracom's MES, they secured traceability through performance and lot tracking management and laid the data collecting foundation to collect information for production and quality. Operator errors were diminished and the time to identify and act on quality issues were down by 80%, and manual work was decreased by 75%. Through implementing MES, the customer has enhanced their standing as the only company in Korea with a one-stop system from mold to aftercare. Through implementing MES, the customer has enhanced their standing as the only company in Korea with a one-stop system from mold to aftercare.
South Korea's number one auto parts maker was experiencing difficulties in changing process lines due to its outdated MES and responding to various customer orders. In order to establish a standardized management system for all factories in diverse countries, the firm designed a production/logistics architecture based on Miracom’s MES. The auto parts maker also rebuilt IT systems such as equipment and ERP for production. As a result, the customer was able to establish a global standard integrated system that is easy to spread to overseas factories and continuously improved work efficiency to become a leader in the auto parts industry.
A customer that manufactures world-recognized high-tech materials (gas, chemicals) was faced with the following difficulties. Those were their process input/performance/quality information was dispersed, and that production results were managed only by ERP, making it difficult to manage on-site and check real-time data. By implementing Miracom's MES, they created an integrated production management system that standardized the manufacturing process and added an automatic aggregation function for quality data. This strengthened their manufacturing management capabilities, improved quality levels, and helped them become a leading company in the global advanced materials field.
