At Mapex we want to help you to know if your industrial company needs an MES system or not. To do so, we have prepared a short video with some questions that will be very useful when making a decision.
In this video we have highlighted five major problems that most manufacturers who are still working without an MES system share:
1. Late and unreliable data collection
- Questions you should ask yourself: Is the lack of accurate real-time data preventing you from performing useful information analysis and developing effective continuous improvement plans?
- What solution can we offer you? The Mapex MES system automatically captures reliable data in real time so that you can know at any moment the status of your equipment, the progress of manufacturing orders and the evolution of the most important indicators for your company. Thanks to this information, you will be able to detect the strengths and weaknesses of your factory, establish an appropriate strategy for continuous improvement, and know the real impact of corrective actions on the productivity, performance and efficiency of your organization.
2. Poor visibility of work in progress
- Questions you should ask yourself: Are you late in detecting failures, non-conformities and efficiency losses? Are you unable to know why they have occurred?
- What solution can we offer you? One of the major advantages of implementing a Manufacturing Execution System is to increase the visibility of the work in progress. Having real-time information allows companies to spot errors and failures just as they occur and implement corrective actions immediately so that problems do not escalate and put the company at risk.
3. Too many isolated systems in the plant
- Questions you should ask yourself: Do you lack a global vision of your production plant? Does miscommunication between departments negatively affect the performance of your organization?
- What solution can we offer you? Companies using Mapex get a global and transparent view of what is happening in their production plants. Data is centralized on a single platform and can be accessed quickly and intuitively. This helps to avoid errors, to eliminate islands of information and to facilitate cooperation between teams and departments.
4. Excessive use of paper in the production area
- Questions you should ask yourself: Does the use of paper documents prevent your company from focusing its time and resources on higher value-added tasks? Is it also a source of errors that could have been avoided thanks to digitization?
- What solution can we offer you? At Mapex we have succeeded in getting our clients to go digital and eliminate the use of paper documents in their daily operations. This has helped them to be much more sustainable, to reduce costs and to ensure that their employees always have up-to-date information at their disposal.
5. Difficulties in ensuring the correct execution of the manufacturing process
- Questions you should ask yourself: One of your pending challenges is to standardize processes and ensure that operators comply with manufacturing standards and methods?
- What solution can we offer you? With the implementation of an MES system such as Mapex, companies take another step towards process standardization. It is a software that helps them to simplify work procedures, ensure product quality, increase human safety, keep costs under control and reduce waste.
