Macnica (hereinafter Macnica, Headquarters: Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, President: Kazumasa Hara, Capital: 11,194 million yen), a total service/solution provider in semiconductors, networks, cybersecurity, and AI/IoT, has announced that it will launch a new service called "Digital Transformation (DX)" for the manufacturing industry, which is promoting DX projects.
We are pleased to announce that we will begin offering the "DSF-MES Implementation Experience Service."

In recent years, the environment surrounding the manufacturing industry has become increasingly severe, such as COVID-19 (COVID-19) and a shortage of human resources.
Due to growing customer needs, it is necessary to respond flexibly to various environmental changes, such as responding to variable-type and variable-volume production, plant shutdowns due to the corona disaster, and reviewing production plans.
Under such circumstances, in order to solve these issues, an increasing number of companies are working on DX at production sites using IoT and AI.

For manufacturing DX, the infrastructure for data collection is important, and the introduction of MES (Manufacturing Execution System) at the intersection of IT (Cyber Layer) and OT (Physical Layer) is essential.
Looking only at the functions of MES, it is implemented in various systems, and most companies have some kind of alternative function. increase.
This is a factor that makes it difficult to consider MES renovation in order to realize DX in the manufacturing industry, and customers who are considering MES do not know where to start in renovation from legacy systems. A problem arises.

Macnica will begin offering the "DSF-MES Implementation Experience Service" for customers considering MES.
This service is an extremely effective means for considering MES implementation from a fit-to-standard approach, and allows MES implementation in a short period of time through workshops based on Macnica 's unique method that utilizes Siemens MES packages. You can check the time image and effect.
By understanding the current situation and demonstrating the best practice scenario, you can define your company's really necessary requirements and judge the suitability of the MES package.
This makes it possible to imagine the image of MES introduction in advance, which is an issue when considering the introduction of MES, making it possible to move forward with the project more smoothly.

What you can do with the DSF-MES introduction trial service

●Early estimation of MES introduction image and investment decision through demonstration
● Conceptual design with future expandability in mind
●Smooth DX project promotion according to concept design

At Macnica, we believe that implementing MES is effective in making DX projects successful, based on our experience of supporting over 300 manufacturing DX projects.
In addition to IT/OT professionals who can design feasible concepts, we will continue to support companies that are promoting digital transformation in the manufacturing industry by providing knowledge to help develop digital transformation talent with high expectations and high workloads.
