<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWhat we have to consider when selecting MES?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Established solution.<\/strong> The basis for efficient production management is an established and modular MES with clearly defined core functionalities (e.g., traceability), which are regularly improved and updated, that can be upgraded with additional (custom) modules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Reliable business partner.<\/strong> For successful MES introduction and adoption, with possible extensions and upgrades in the longer run, a reliable business partner is required that has a clear business, technological and content vision. With them, the usability of the system in the long run is ensured (“future-proof”).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Expert knowledge and experience.<\/strong> The implementation of the MES system requires interdisciplinary knowledge in the fields of automation and manufacturing IT, as well as extensive experience with production processes. The exploitation of good industrial practices ensures efficient and successful implementation of the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Flexibility and gradual implementation.<\/strong> Each production has its own specifics and goals to which we must adapt the MES and not the other way around, because of the potentially limited capacity of the system. This also means that different functionalities can have different priorities. That is why the possibility of gradual introduction of modules is important, both from functional and line\/plant standpoints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
