Success Stories
MES SUCCESS STORY / PLASTICS
A global plastics company was challenged with a legacy structure of plant floor systems and paper-based processes requiring modernization. AVEVA solutions allowed the flexibility and necessary ERP integration to provide consistency and process visibility across their international facilities. Q-mation’s Expert Services team helped create and implement a project roadmap to drive global implementation and technology standardization.
Location: United States
Software Products: AVEVA System Platform, AVEVA MES (Quality, Performance, Operations), AVEVA Work Tasks
Project Goals:
- Gain visibility to manufacturing data and simplify integration with ERP consistently across the global enterprise
- Standardize core system technologies to simplify supportability and long term maintenance
Challenges:
- Create a standard plant MES/SCADA template to be leveraged across all sites while incorporating site-specific requirements
- MES Implementation had to be coordinated with simultaneous changes being made at the ERP layer
Results:
- Starting with two MES pilot projects at two different business units, incorporating the best of both solutions into the finalized template
- Common features included:
• ERP integration
• Comprehensive recipe management
• Pre-weigh functionality
• Process parameter download
• Production tracking
• Consumption tracking
• Line performance tracking - SCADA and MES projects completed or underway globally
- Maintained enterprise-level governance of the global solution by deploying incremental upgrades to previously deployed sites
