With the continuous introduction of foreign advanced manufacturing technologies and the improvement and perfection on the basis of market demand, automation technology has been widely used in the manufacturing industry, and it has also greatly promoted the wide application of MES systems. MES uses advanced network communication technology to organically integrate automation technology and enterprise management systems, aiming at improving the company’s manufacturing level, management level, safety production, quality control, energy conservation and consumption reduction, etc., in order to promote the overall manufacturing level of the enterprise. It has played a vital role.
Complexity of MES system implementation
First, the construction of enterprise MES system is a management transformation project, not just a technology-led project. Enterprise informatization reshapes and manages business models. Therefore, ‘unified thinking’ is very important;
Second, the company conducts a detailed analysis of the needs of the MES system before the selection, clear MES system application objectives, goals and needs should not be large and complete;
Thirdly, we must adhere to the principle of ‘overall planning, efficiency prioritization, step-by-step implementation, and key breakthroughs’. We must adopt advanced computer technology, network technology, communication technology, enterprise modeling and optimization technology to ensure the openness and scalability of the system. Sex.
Fourth, consider the issue of communication and integration with the existing management system of the enterprise, avoid the occurrence of larger or more ‘information isolated islands’, increase the degree of information sharing of enterprises, provide support for strategy, management, and business operations, and improve the production of enterprises. The corresponding speed of market demand.
V. The MES system construction must be based on the ‘factory model’, with the whole process of material movement and tracking as the main line, and the overall life cycle management of the equipment as the center. The goal is to design and implement safe and optimized production, and ensure the practicability of the system. And effectiveness. ”
How can we successfully implement the MES system?
MES system can bring great value to users. In recent years, many industries in our country such as steel, tobacco, automobile and other industries have been more commonly used, but how can we successfully implement MES?
(1) The enterprise information system construction should be planned systematically and implemented step by step. First of all, we are concerned with the design of key performance assessment indicators (KPIs). Therefore, when doing overall enterprise information planning, we first need to conduct overall needs analysis, that is, overall planning for informationization, and also to build infrastructure such as systems and networks. Completed the overall design of enterprise business processes, process optimization and reengineering, and the configuration of enterprise ERP.
(2) The implementation of the MES system plus data-based business intelligence must be based on the most basic performance assessment. This is a necessary and important task for implementing the MES system.
(3) To streamline business flow and information flow in enterprise production management, because MES system must integrate and analyze various information in manufacturing and production. This is an important issue.
(4) Methods and tools for establishing a factory data model, including product models, resource usage models, production event models, and factory models. Through the factory modeling tools, the MES application architecture can be set up and the basic functions can be configured.
(5) Provides data support for transaction analysis and decision support analysis. Analyze the cost of each product at each link from the perspective of product profitability, so as to judge the market competitiveness of products; on the basis of analysis, optimize the production organization; make adjustments to resource arrangements; make market prices Appropriate arrangements. Analysis is not only limited to the production control link, but also involves multiple aspects, including: collection and analysis of requirements, configuration of manufacturing unit resources, analysis of the basic conditions of the localized manufacturing base, mutual supply, and external supply management. Through analysis, the collaborative relationship between the various professions is determined and optimized.
(6) From simply considering on-site management and control functions, to focusing on the transformation of industry technology. MES system can not stay at the level of platform and tools, and it must constantly integrate the connotation of industry knowledge; integrate industry experience, industry knowledge accumulation, and know-how into the design and development of the system to realize the transfer of knowledge.
(7) With the acceleration of the global economic integration process, mergers and acquisitions among enterprises are a major trend, and the production methods of domestic manufacturing companies have also undergone great changes, from local-oriented workshop-level manufacturing management to the support of remote networks. Collaborative manufacturing development is the main issue for the development of modern MES systems.
(8) Comprehensively optimize the technology, break through technical difficulties, and improve the technical content of MES system products. Under a variety of constraints (equipment, energy, labor, time, contracts, etc.), the use of optimization techniques to achieve resource balance and optimize the configuration, to achieve the optimization of manufacturing time and cost, to achieve the goal of overall optimization.
(9) The goal of saving energy and reducing consumption is an inevitable choice for the MES system industry development. By studying the general laws of energy transmission and comprehensive balance adjustment, an integrated energy balance model is established, and a model-based comprehensive energy balance adjustment technology is proposed so as to change the excessive dependence and blindness of the energy balance adjustment process on experience and achieve automatic analysis and automatic control. And automatic adjustment to achieve the purpose of energy saving.
