Manufacturing Execution System (MES): Real-time Equipment Tracking

A Manufacturing Execution System (MES) is an information system for managing, tracking, controlling, documenting and improving work-in-process on a factory floor. EZ-MES is a real time, browser based Manufacturing Execution System. Real time means that all changes in a multi-user environment are immediately processed and visualized. Extensibility is a software engineering and systems design principle where a software package takes future growth into consideration. Although the Manufacturing Execution System EZ-MES comes with a very extensive range of functions and feature, it also supports the seamless adding of specialized software extensions. This video demonstrates an extension for EZ-MES that displays the real-time state of equipment on the production floor. This is done by showing the layout of the production floor with on top of it the current state of the monitored equipment. Historic changes are displayed in time-bars and equipment performance metrics are shown in intuitive pie charts. In production environments, all equipment should meet a minimum-usage percentage for manufacturing purposes. With just a quick glance at the equipment tracking in EZ-MES, the user is aware of the equipment’s production efficiency. If performance falls below acceptable standards, the user is able to take immediate action to solve this problem. This early detection saves both time and money while improving the efficiency of business processes. There are two ways to signal equipment states changes to EZ-MES. The first way is to manually enter a change using the equipment flow window in EZ-MES. The second way is to use the API of EZ-MES to automatically stream changes from equipment interfaces into EZ-MES. Equipment states and changes are fully tracked in EZ-MES using flows and can be exported to different analysis and reporting tools.
