Packaging and graphic arts

In the packaging and graphic arts industry, having an MES system in the factory is key to developing a competitive advantage. Thanks to this platform, companies can meet the requirements demanded by their customers, while optimizing the resources employed. With Mapex, companies are able to execute a good preventive maintenance plan, reduce equipment start-up times, minimize incidents and keep an exhaustive control of wasted materials.

Benefits for the packaging and graphic arts industry



Real-time control of production processes

Automation of data capture directly from the production lines to monitor their status at all times (stoppages, bottlenecks, low performance, etc.) and improve the efficiency of the production process.



SMED implementation to reduce set-up and changeover times

With MapexPM, manufacturers optimize set-up and changeover times through SMED methodology and minimize the negative impact of scheduled plant downtimes.



Promotion of preventive maintenance

Digitization of corrective and preventive work order management to reduce availability losses due to machinery breakdowns and failures. Greater control over maintenance and tooling location and spare parts stock to avoid missing or unnecessary purchase of parts.

R

Comprehensive quality control

Digitization of the quality management system (controls, self-monitoring, audits, etc.), which is especially useful for manufacturers of packaging for the food, chemical and cosmetics industries.



End-to-end traceability management

Traceability control of raw materials, which is necessary for manufacturers of packaging for the food, chemical and cosmetics sectors.



Data integration and connectivity with other systems

Bidirectional integration of the MES solution with the ERP and other factory systems (WMS and AGV/AIV, machine vision, etc.) to save time and effort in daily operations, and eliminate the use of paper in areas such as quality or maintenance.



Monitoring of scrap and other relevant KPIs

Real-time control of production and quality indicators such as OEE, shrinkage, set-up and changeover times or scrap in order to implement appropriate actions for continuous improvement.
