There is no consistent data integration between the core system and the field
Is your company's definition of MES (Manufacturing Execution System) unclear?
Responding to intensifying global competition and high-mix, low-volume production --
The key to this is a "common platform that visualizes the field in real time and connects it to management."
【assignment】
・Siloed production data delays management decisions
・Man-hours are tight due to personal Excel calculations and report creation
・Traceability at each site cannot be established, increasing quality assurance risks
[Impact]
While the speed of competition is increasing, the improvement cycle at individual workplaces is slowing down, and improvements must be implemented across departments.
Therefore, it is urgent to define the role of MES, which will serve as the foundation for connecting on-site data and management data, and to create an integrated infrastructure.
Solution 1 — Redesign MES requirements around ISA-95
ISA-95 is a reference model for manufacturing IT defined by an international standardization organization for automated equipment. By referring to this, the role of MES and the necessary business and data models can be organized in a common language, and the link with surrounding core systems such as ERP and PLM can be clarified, accelerating discussions on requirements definition.
| effect | approach |
| Creating a common language across the company Design business hierarchy and data model with standard guidelines |
- Map your company's operations against the ISA-95 layers (Level 0-4) - Visualize overlaps and gaps with existing core systems |
| Reduce project review time by 30% | ・Present a phased implementation roadmap by organizing business and IT priorities |
| Clarify your return on investment | ・Create a KPI tree and set numerical targets such as "production lead time -15%" |
Solution 2 — Form organizational consensus through ISA-95 understanding workshops
Macnica holds study sessions and workshops to promote understanding of ISA-95.
