MES is everywhere ….

• local initiatives – often engineering-driven• High potential for innovations • usable only with special focus / limited scope• lack of integration in „corporate systems“ (ERP)

Sept 2010page 5 /

IT strategy: how to position MES-systems in global corporations

• with appropriate benefit of invest (ROI ...)• fexible/automations - open for innovations • scalable – start „simple“ - be open for „more“• secured investments – ready for future• usable (engineering + manufacturing-engineering + facility-service + IT)

MES and Simplification

- Whole system is “designed for usability”

- “offline concepts” for data-collection

- Touch-screen oriented data-entry

- flexible system-architecture – configure instead of coding -> adapt to BU-requs

- “out of the box”-concept (covering +80% of requs)

- User-identification with RFID-chip

- local languages (one or more per plant)

- Workflows “designed for the operator”

Sept 2010page 8 /

MES and Automation

- collect information from devices and machines (with as less user-interaction as possible)

- manual: different automated rules for time-collections (multi-machine- or multi-operator-operation)

- User-identification with RFID-chip

- Workflows “designed for the operator”

- Automated visualization of shop-floor-documents - at the place where needed- in the moment/event when needed- with the appropriate focus (e.g. machine-oriented, product-oriented, tool-oriented)

Sept 2010page 9 /

MES and Standardization

- local systems/servers but identical executables, structures and databases-> “TE-MES-template”

- set of proven technical equipments (PLC-controllers, ELO, badge-readers…)

- Flexible system-architecture – configure instead of coding -> adapt to BU-requs

- BU-harmonized Code-Mappings (e.g. machine-status, scrap-codings)

- Security concepts

- Project-Methodology for rollout

Our concepts

„Package-Solution (MPDV/Hydra or SAP-ME)“- covering 80% of requirements

„mesTE-Development-competence“

„TE-MES-template“- plant-MES-Servers- centrally administrated/supported- all Data-models/binaries will be distributed „everywhere“- module- or enhancement-activation „per plant“- optimized software-distribution-models

Sept 2010page 11 /

Result ?

Can we demonstrate that we are „on the track“ with our assumptions ?
