Siemens Opcenter Execution Discrete

Introducing Siemens Opcenter for MOM

Siemens Opcenter is a leading portfolio of Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) software products aimed to enable all organizations to implement their strategies for the complete digitalization of manufacturing operations. The Siemens Opcenter technology architecture was built to be flexible and easily adaptable to the specific requirements of different industrial processes – both in process manufacturing and discrete manufacturing. The highly scalable platform delivers powerful capabilities and enables manufacturers to combine production efficiency with production quality and production visibility to optimize their processes and significantly reduce their time-to-market.

Engineering Industries eXcellence has been working with the Siemens MOM offering for as long as it has existed. We have built a global team of business, technical, implementation and integration specialists with a level of expertise in these products that our customers could not find anywhere else in the world. Siemens Opcenter MOM solutions we deliver cover:

Advanced Production Planning and Scheduling
Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES)
Manufacturing Quality Management
Manufacturing Intelligence and Performance Management
Research, Development and Laboratory Management

About Siemens Opcenter Execution Discrete (SIMATIC IT UADM)

Within this Siemens MOM offering, Opcenter Execution is a portfolio of industry and process-specific Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) designed to enable organizations to monitor, control and manage all the activities, resources and work-in-progress (WIP) on the factory floor and across their enterprise during the execution of production.

Siemens Opcenter Execution Discrete (formerly known as SIMATIC IT UADM) provides MES capabilities and out-of-the-box features designed to support the unique processes and requirements of sectors executing sequential discrete manufacturing functions in order to produce the desired product, particularly:

Complex Assembly Manufacturing (high complexity, low volume)
Job Shop Manufacturing (high complexity, low volume)
Automated Repetitive Manufacturing (configurable products, high volume)

Opcenter Execution Discrete ensures greater manufacturing process flexibility and efficiency, complete integration of regulatory and quality requirements, synchronized production processes and sustained reductions in maintenance and operational costs. When combined with ERP and PLM systems, Opcenter Execution Discrete provides the shop floor visibility needed to increase quality and efficiency at both the plant level and across your supply chain operations.
