MES-MOM Systems
MES – Manufacturing Execution System
MOM – Manufacturing Operations Management
Digital Transition to Industry 4.0
In recent years, there has been a growing imperative to digitize production processes, aimed at enhancing the operational efficiency and overall performance of businesses. Industry 4.0 has further accelerated the digitization of factory machinery and equipment and fostered the spread of Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) and Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) management systems. The former concentrates on the operational aspects of the process, whereas the latter places a greater emphasis on the managerial components.
MES – Manufacturing Execution Systems
MES, or Manufacturing Execution System, is software designed to oversee a company’s production processes, facilitating the alignment of company management and production. This alignment not only enhances efficiency but also mitigates errors across the diverse stages of factory production.
How does it work?
The MES system seamlessly gathers pertinent data for operators during the production stage, transmitting it directly from the factory to the ERP through specialized tools tailored for production department workers and machines. This streamlined process not only minimizes costs but also mitigates inefficiencies.
In particular, it contextually monitors all activities, production times, operators and machines involved. In addition to monitoring, the MES provides detailed information about products and their components, managing their quality and providing the results needed for inventory management to ERPs.
MOM – Manufacturing Operations Management
MOM is a software that establishes a link between the factory and the enterprise management system. It achieves this by offering comprehensive visibility into processes encompassing production, quality control, maintenance, and inventory management. MOM is based on a configurable and extensible platform that enables integration with ERPs and industrial automation.
How does it work?
The MOM system defines the rules for making the machinery and operators involved work synergistically with the aim of coordinating and optimizing all stages of the production process, improving efficiency.
The MOM system defines the rules for making the machinery and operators involved work synergistically with the aim of coordinating and optimizing all stages of the production process, improving efficiency. This happens because all production processes are digitized and entered into one system, providing work instructions precisely.
Why choose MES systems – MOM
Implementing an integrated production automation system enables companies to better manage and optimize production processes.
MES e MOM systems
- They ensure the effective execution of production operations
- They improve production performance
- They support companies by collecting and processing accurate and real-time data throughout the entire production life cycle
- They create a real-time record, capturing relevant data throughout the process
- They optimize the process, increasing efficiency and potentially reducing errors and downtime
