A Low-Code Initiative for Personalized MES
A Low-Code Initiative for Personalized MES
How can you efficiently monitor, optimize and synchronize all the moving parts and activities going on in the production plant? The answer is simple – with the right Manufacturing Execution System (MES) in place. A MES is a digitalized control system for managing and monitoring work-in-progress on the factory floor, and even across globally distributed sites. A MES keeps track of all manufacturing information in real time, receiving up-to-the-minute data from robots, machine monitors and operators, and documenting the entire process from beginning to end.
However, there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all MES. Every industrial enterprise has a unique set of manufacturing needs and specific processes that depend on the final product, suppliers, history of the plant, local regulations and more. Although a modern, industry-tailored MES drives business a long way towards operational eXcellence, even more benefits will arise from MES personalization, unlocking new capabilities and flexibility that make user experiences custom-fitted to distinct operations and personnel. Achieving these gains quickly and cost-effectively requires the right digital tools. That is why Siemens Digital Industries Software is combining the power of their Opcenter and Mendix solutions to deliver personalized MES user interfaces for customers across industrial sectors worldwide.
Siemens Opcenter provides role-based, persona-specific and industry-specific out-of-the-box templates which can be used as-is or customized further. Customers can take the personalization of the user interface into their own hands and easily create interfaces that best suit their process using the new low-code approach powered by Mendix. This offers a high degree of flexibility that enables a swift response to different problems regarding processes, components and other aspects of manufacturing. Mendix’s low-code platform also reduces implementation and maintenance costs, so resources can be allocated to continuous process development.
