With ongoing skills shortages, it’s ever more essential for enterprises to have intuitive, easy to use systems. After all you can’t guarantee that new hires will be familiar with complex MES systems – and it’s also harder to source training for them. As a result, there’s a growing focus on worker-centric models, which are based around the machine itself, not the system. That means a transition toward exception-based working methods, with clear recommendations for action.
The challenges of production for the next generation
These requirements cannot be met without digital, networked production. An MES system is the interface for all data streams and is therefore indispensable!
Join the digital revolution, and boost your efficiency and market resilience. You need to implement real-time, data-driven decision-making. You need technical structures that facilitate seamless communication between manufacturing stages. You need process integration between machines, systems and services. That’s how you create a basis for working optimally on the shop floor – and create a real competitive advantage.
Environmental social governance (ESG) has long been a moral imperative; with the EU CSR directive, it is now also a compliance requirement. But without the right software, it’s impossible to guarantee seamless data recording and an accurate carbon footprint for your production. MES CAT allows for data to be recorded at every relevant point, ensuring your architecture is fully fit for the next generation. In fact, the tool can do more than just create a basis for your sustainability reporting. Use it to actively steer your production based on sustainability criteria.
