Overview
What Is Manufacturing Execution System?
In short, manufacturing execution system (MES) translates product descriptions into a form that manufacturing machinery understands. Generally speaking, product descriptions can be CAD drawings or in some other format that MES knows how to read. The purpose of MES is to interpret these descriptions and re-write them in the format that manufacturing equipment can directly read and use. This eliminates the need for manual programming of manufacturing equipment, and can lead to huge benefits.
Proven Technology
MES software has been used years in many branches of manufacturing industry. As this technology is already tried and tested, it doesn't present any significant technical challenges or risks. What's even more important, the MesPal software has been extensively and thoroughly tested in real-life production environment. Hundreds of hours in demanding production conditions proved the maturity of the software.
The State Of The Art
Pallet manufacturers are often relatively small companies where production control software has been rarely utilized. On the other hand, most of the other MES programs are part of a larger production control system and usually cannot work without the surrounding other software. We have recognized the need for more compact system containing all the necessities but nothing much more. And that is how MesPal has been designed. It includes modules that are normally provided by upper level production control software. These include simple product data management, production planning and production monitoring capabilities. Of course, MesPal can be integrated to other production control systems when needed. For these and other reasons, MesPal software is the state of the art production control system available to the pallet industry today. In our opinion, pallet manufacturers determined to stay on the game simply cannot afford continuing the old way for much longer. So, get on the train but before you do, get your first class ticket by purchasing the MesPal software.
Benefits
MesPal has number of benefits. The most obvious is increased capacity due to
- almost zero set-up time
- always optimal speed and other settings for the product
- increased operating rate
MesPal also brings other benefits as it allows you to
- plan your production flexibly
- integrate separate machines and treat them as a single production line
- get exact feedback data from the manufacturing process
The benefits listed above are just a tip of the ice berg. Read more...
