PREFACE
For the third consecutive year CMG's MES Competence Centre has made an inventory of
vendors and products for MES.
Based upon the surveys of previous years1, the members list of the Manufacturing Execution
Systems Association2 (MESA) and a search on the internet about 40 vendors were asked to
fill in a questionnaire with a large number of questions. For various reasons not all vendors
returned a filled in questionnaire.
The questions were covering the following areas:
-
Vendor Information
General Product Information
Interfaces and Communication
Industry Experience
MESA-11 Compliance
S95 Compliance3.
Technical Aspects
This report contains an overview of the most important results as acquired from the answers
of the vendors of in total 30 MES products (see table in Figure 1 on page 7).
The vendors themselves did provide the answers to the list of questions. These answers, as
far as they are used in this report, are copied unchanged from the vendors' reactions. The
vendors indicated also to which extend their products support certain functionalities. For this
the 11 functions defined by MESA were used. Also functions and information as defined in
the S95 ANSI/ISA standard were part of the questionnaire. In chapter 4 this part is described
in more detail.
Acknowledgement
The authors like to thank all vendors participating in this MES Product Survey. A special
word of gratitude is for Julie Fraser, principal of Industry Directions Inc., who contributed to
this report by writing the introductory chapter and some very valuable sections about trends
in the MES market in the past few years that have changed the face of buying decisions.

INTRODUCTION
By Julie Fraser, Principal Industry Directions Inc.
This CMG research study on the MES market is an important contribution to the industry and
its potential for success. It provides comparative data on MES vendors and the products they
offer, as well as information on project size and cost. Given that industries’ needs for MES
vary greatly, and that each manufacturing plant may have different requirements for
functionality, scalability, and vendor services, this study provides the most objective path to a
short list for system selection.
One of the toughest challenges companies have in MES selection lies in identifying the bestfit products. Some of the vendors included here do not call their products MES, even though
they fit the definition. They may use a different category or concept name based on industry
terminology and marketing positioning. Some of these companies also do not have a
significant marketing presence outside their home countries, limiting their recognition by
some plants.
Relationships may also limit companies’ ease in identifying all of the appropriate MES
products. In many cases, the manufacturer works with a controls vendor that offers MES
software. In some cases, they may also work with a system consultant or enterprise software
provider trained in just one MES. While the single-source is attractive, this research report
provides a deep understanding of other products worthy of evaluation and comparison.
Another challenge for those planning a project is scoping and setting a budget. This report
also highlights some average costs for projects. Given that the number of employees using
an MES system varies greatly from one plant to the next, the view of per-user costs is
extremely valuable. It also helps readers understand that projects vary widely by industry.
This assists not only in setting expectations, but also in drawing accurate conclusions about
possible implementations based on vendor case studies.
In addition to serving manufacturing companies and plant floor systems integrators and
consultants, it also serves solution providers. As some research services have all but
abandoned plant floor systems, this report shows that across Europe and North America, the
MES market is healthy and provides significant choice. Further, it illustrates functional and
technical differences between systems that help each MES player position themselves. It
also lays a foundation for partnerships, mergers and acquisitions by providing an efficient
mechanism for evaluating complementary technology and functionality.
One criticism I have heard leveled at this research is that the vendor responses are not
validated. While validated data might add some value, whether any given piece of
functionality will work depends on the final use application. And it’s not feasible to validate
functions for all possible uses. This research provides a starting point that can quickly narrow
the field. Once the short list of providers is in hand, every company has the responsibility to
carefully evaluate vendor claims and software fit as they pertain to the specific plant
environment.
In the nearly 20 years I have been involved in the MES and plant floor solutions marketplace,
I have never seen a more comprehensive research study on this topic. The report supports
all aspects of MES software selection, and covers more solution vendors than most. It also
serves global manufacturing needs by covering solution vendors headquartered in many
countries.

2.1
MES PRODUCT SURVEY
Objectives
This MES Product Survey report may be of value to several groups of readers:
End Users
This report contains information for getting a first impression of the available products and
their possible use. It will help potential consumers of MES to boil down the extensive offer of
global MES Vendors down to a list of 5-10 Vendors worth a closer look. Criteria to be used
could be Vendor Focus & Experience, or supported MESA functions, or the S95 score of the
MES products. It reduces the cost for composing a shortlist and provides a framework for
asking the right (local) Vendors for a first evaluation of their product. So, this information
about the product and their functionality is not extensive at all. This survey is meant to hand
over a long-list to future users as an orientation on the broad world of MES or as an aid on
the first steps towards a selection of a suitable MES product.
Vendors
For the vendors this report provides a feed-back to their strategy and focus. Since the
content of the questionnaire is based upon end users reactions also, it gives an impression
of the trends in the market.
CMG
For CMG this survey delivers valuable information for giving better advises to our customers.
During the past years we used this information in many consultancy projects.
All
We hope that the survey and the results thereof in this report will contribute to many
successful implementations of MES. If you have any suggestions for next years' survey,
please let us know ([email protected])
2.2
Participants
In the table on the next page all products and vendors involved in this survey are listed.
Some participating vendors did not answer all questions, because certain information, e.g.
financial data, markets shares and projects realized, were considered by them as
confidential. The topics in this report are reflecting (nearly) all vendors or products unless
otherwise indicated.

ABOUT MES
3.1
MES Systems
Decision efficiency
Decision efficiency
A Manufacturing Execution System or MES is according to the definition of APICS 4 an
information and communication system for the production environment of a company. MES
takes care of the translation between process information on the shop floor and the financial
- logistical information in the office. However, MES is not only a translation layer. Its main
purpose is to control and to improve all aspects that are influencing the production processes
in order to achieve higher flexibility, lower production costs and thus more profit. Important
functionality are production registration (data acquisition), production reporting and detailed
planning/scheduling.

Figure 2 MES: Use of Information and Communication Speed.
In principle production and logistical processes in a company never are completely
automated and they are changed quite often too. People are always in charge and will have
to make decisions what to do next, how to act, etc. The quality of these decisions is
determining the overall performance of the company.
A MES is just an information provider. Data have no value in themselves. When they are
structured and relations between the various items are clearly presented, then they become
information and the meaning increases. As depicted in the left-hand side of Figure 2 the
"decision efficiency" will increase dramatically when people are using this information in
combination with their knowledge and experience. Than profit will be created!
The value of the information also depends heavily on its timely availability. Although a
company may have been very profitable, this does not automatically mean that the
production efficiency was optimal. In production, the timely availability of information is
essential to be able to react effectively to events, trends and problems. So the speed of
communication is also important to the decision efficiency (right hand side of Figure 2 ).

MESA
The MESA International 5 orgaization was formed in 1992 by leading Manufacturing
Execution Systems (MES) vendors and system integrators. MESA is a not for profit tradeassociation whose mission was up to last year to serve the manufacturing operations and
management community and to provide educational leadership on the application of
Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES).
This year MESA’s definition of MES and its mission have been changed. Now MES stands
for Manufacturing Enterprise Systems including systems like ERP, Supply Chain
Management and Customer Relationship Management as far as its functionality is relevant to
the plant production. Important reason for this change is the increasing interfacing (and
overlap) between these systems with Manufacturing Execution Systems. The association is
now also open to Manufacturing Businesses, companies that process and/or supply
materials to other manufacturers.
MESA has defined the world wide known 11 functions of MES (see 3.4) and also promotes
the spread and use of standards like S95. In this standard terms and models are clearly
described, thus enabling a better understanding between vendors, system integrators and
end users and a quicker achievement of better results for all involved.
June 2002, MESA organized its annual international Conference in Boston. There were over
300 attendees from 12 different countries. The programme comprised about 45 different
presentations. Besides the keynote and general sessions mainly covering the conference
theme: “Creating competitive advantage through collaborative manufacturing” or trends, the
parallel sessions were divided in the themes:
-
ROI/Case studies
Enabling Collaborative Manufacturing
Emerging trends in Collaborative Manufacturing
Case studies for Process industries
Case studies for Discrete industries
Applying Collaborative Manufacturing
Educational sessions
Slideshows and video’s from most presentations are available on the MESA website.
In 2001 the European Chapter of MESA was founded in order to support those, who are
interested in MES or are using it already in that part of the world. On November 19-20, 2001
MESA Europe organized her first conference and exposition in Amsterdam with the title
"MES - What to do when your ERP Fails: Practical Solutions using Manufacturing Execution
Systems". For 2003 several event are planned.
3.3
Other Initiatives
Within other organisations MES is also in the picture. Organisations like the ISA, are still
working on their S95 standard on MES. Recently they announced to develop a new standard
for security issues with regard to MES and shop floor systems.

Within Europe there’s the NAMUR, who is also still working on standardization issues like
interfacing between several workfloor and business systems. In Europe there are also some
initiatives for certain kinds of industries, an example for the Pharmaceutical industries is the
GACH (Germany, Austria Switzerland) network.

Description
Manages resources including machines, tools labor skills, materials, other
equipment, and other entities such as documents that must be available in order for
work to start at the operation. It provides detailed history of resources and insures
that equipment is properly set up for processing and provides status real time. The
management of these resources includes reservation and dispatching to meet
operation scheduling objectives.
Provides sequencing based on priorities, attributes, characteristics, and/or recipes
associated with specific production units at an operation such as shape of color
sequencing or other characteristics which, when scheduled in sequence properly,
minimize setup. It is finite and it recognizes alternative and overlapping/parallel
operations in order to calculate in detail exact time or equipment loading and adjust
to shift patterns.
Manages flow of production units in the form of jobs, orders, batches, lots, and work
orders. Dispatch information is presented in sequence in which the work needs to be
done and changes in real time as events occur on the factory floor. It has the ability
to alter prescribed schedule on the factory floor. Rework and salvage processes are
available, as well as the ability to control the amount of work in process at any point
with buffer management.
10
Function
4. Document
Control
Description
Controls records/forms that must be maintained with the production unit, including
work instructions, recipes, drawings, standard operation procedures, part programs,
batch records, engineering change notices, shift-to-shift communication, as well as
the ability to edit “as planned” and “as built” information. It sends instructions down to
the operations, including providing data to operators or recipes to device controls. It
would also include the control and integrity of environmental, health and safety
regulations, and ISO information such as Corrective Action procedures. Storage of
historical data.
5. Data
This function provides an interface link to obtain the intra-operational production and
Collection/Acq parametric data which populate the forms and records which were attached to the
uisition
production unit. The data may be collected from the factory floor either manually or
automatically from equipment in an up-to-the-minute time frame.
6. Labor
Provides status of personnel in and up-to-the-minute time frame. Includes time and
Management attendance reporting, certification tracking, as well as the ability to track indirect
activities such as material preparation or tool room work as a basis for activity based
costing. It may interact with resource allocation to determine optimal assignments.
7. Quality
Provides real time analysis of measurements collected from manufacturing to assure
Management proper product quality control and to identify problems requiring attention. It may
recommend action to correct the problem, including correlating the symptom, actions
and results to determine the cause. May include SPC/SQC tracking and
management of off-line inspection operations and analysis in laboratory information
management system (LIMS) could also be included.
8. Process
Monitors production and either automatically corrects or provides decision support to
Management operators for correcting and improving in-process activities. These activities may be
intra-operational and focus specifically on machines or equipment being monitored
and controlled as well as inter-operational, which is tracking the process from one
operation to the next. It may include alarm management to make sure factory
person(s) are aware of process changes which are outside acceptable tolerances. It
provides interfaces between intelligent equipment and MES possible through Data
Collection/Acquisition.
9. Maintenance Tracks and directs the activities to maintain the equipment and tools to insure their
Management availability for manufacturing and insure scheduling for periodic or preventive
maintenance as well as the response (alarms) to immediate problems. It maintains a
history of past events or problems to aide in diagnosing problems.
10. Product
Provides the visibility to where work is at all times and its disposition. Status
Tracking and information may include who is working on it; components materials by supplier, lot,
Genealogy
serial number, current production conditions, and any alarms, rework, or other
exceptions related to the product. The on-line tracking function creates a historical
record, as well. This record allows traceability of components and usage of each end
product.
11. Performance Provides up-to-the-minute reporting of actual manufacturing operations results along
Analysis
with the comparison to past history and expected business result. Performance
results include such measurements as resource utilization, resource availability,
product unit cycle time, conformance to schedule and performance to standards. May
include SPC/SQL. Draws on information gathered from different functions that
measure operating parameters. These results may be prepared as a report or
presented online as current evaluation of performance.

4.1
Introduction
The integration of manufacturing systems with business systems is a challenging problem.
The ISA SP95 committee developed the S95 Enterprise-Control System Integration Standard
to solve this problem. The SP95 committee members originate from all parties involved in the
realisation of MES in practice: vendors, end users and system integrators.
In fact this standard consist out of three parts:
-
Part 1: Models and Terminology (Approved 15 July 2000)
Part 2: Object Model Attributes (Approved 17 October 2001)
Part 3: Models of Manufacturing Operations (Draft)
Part 1 has recently become an IEC/ISO international standard as well (IEC/ISO 62264-1).
The subject of the standard is commonly known as MES. It contains a description of:
-
The boundaries of the
Enterprise-Control System
General functions within the
boundaries
Interfaces to the boundaries
Internal elements and their
interrelations
S95 uses a functional hierarchy as
depicted in Figure 5 defining the
various levels at which decisions are
made. The levels 0, 1 and 2 define
the cell or line supervision functions,
operation functions and process
control functions. These levels are
not included in the standard.
The S95 standard comprises the
functions in level 3 and the interface
between level 3 and 4.
Level 4
Plant Production Scheduling,
Operational Management, etc
Level 3

Functional Data Flow Model
An important part of the standard is the functional data flow model (Clause 6 of Part 1). It
describes the functions of an enterprise, that are involved with the manufacturing. Next to
that it presents the information flows between those functions, that cross the enterprisecontrol interface. For this the Purdue Reference Model is used as basis.

Purdue Reference Model (S95).
On the highest level the functional model comprises 12 areas of activity. Between those
areas information is exchanged depicted in Figure 6 with the arrows. The grey area is
representing the Enterprise-Control area (MES area). By splitting up the functions into subfunctions with the corresponding information flows, dividing them into sub-sub-functions etc.
all activities within the enterprise can be described in the model. Dependent on the objectives
more aggregated models or very detailed ones are used. Of course for selecting MES
products for a short list a more general model will be sufficient. But for the final decision and
the delivery of the proof that a specific software product does fit to the production
organisation detailed industry specific models are necessary.
4.3
Expected Benefits
S95 provides a standard terminology and a consistent set of concepts and models.
According to the S95 Committee the improved communications between all parties involved
will produce the following benefits:
-
Enabling users to identify their needs better
Reduction of the time needed by users to reach full production levels for new
products
Reduction of cost of automating manufacturing processes
Optimise supply chains
Reduction of life-cycle engineering efforts
Enabling vendors to supply appropriate integration tools

4.4
Impact on MES Users
At the MESA Conference in June 2002 in Boston CMG presented a paper on "S95 and Its
Impact on MES Users" (see also: www.mesa.org). Three groups of users can be
distinguished: industrial users, vendors and system integrators.
Industrial Users
In the table below a comparison is made between the S95 Standard and the equivalent in
real life as seen by the industrial users.

- scheduling & control

Industrial Users
Departments:

??? (there is no equivalent)
Own language and specific terminology
Comparison S95 Standard and real life of the user
It is clear that there are at least some translation difficulties and that a bridge between the
two worlds is required in order to let the end user really benefit of this standard.
Vendors
For the vendors the S95 standard brings great benefits. It provides a better understanding
what to deliver. The availability of the Hierarchy Models, Functional Data Flow Model and
Object Models enables a better scoping and content. Insight in the grey elements in the area
between ERP and MES results in better interfaces. There will also be a better fit with "best of
breed" solutions that can be used as additional modules.
System Integrators
The experience of the consultants and System Integrators indicates that the S95 really
works. They use it as a basis for development of Reference Models for specific Branches.
These reference models are useful because of the required bridging between S95 and the
daily world of the end users.
Conclusion
It can be concluded that the S95 Standard is an important step forward. It provides an
opportunity and a challenge for vendors and system integrators to introduce better tools for
the end users with which the expected benefits (see 4.3) can be achieved.

Questions about S95 Compliancy
For getting an impression of the compliancy of the products with the ANSI/ISA S95 standard
questions were asked about:
-
Major functions
Information they generate or modify
as they are described in the Purdue Reference Model (see Figure 6 ) of the EnterpriseControl system or MES area:
-
-
Production Scheduling (2.0)
Production Control (3.0)
- Process Support Engineering (3.1)
- Operations Control (3.2)
- Operations Planning (3.3)
Material and Energy Control (4.0)
Quality Assurance (6.0)
Product Inventory Control (7.0)
Product Cost Accounting (8.0)
Maintenance Management (10.0)
Because of its central role for Production Control the functions and information of 1 level
deeper in the hierarchy are used for the questionnaire. By this a list is composed of 52
functions and 41 information flows generated or modified by these functions. The vendors
were asked to indicate:
-
Support of the listed functions in their product (on a scale of 1 - 6)
Support of the generation/change of the listed information flows
Availability of interfaces for the listed information flow
The answers provided to all these questions are listed in Annex B.

RESULTS OF THE QUESTIONNAIRE
5.1
Introduction
The answers given by the vendors are providing relevant information with respect to aspects
that might be important for reducing the number of suitable solutions in a MES selection
process, as:
-
Production Typology
Vendors’ Focus on Market Segments
Experience with the Product (projects)
Platforms (Operating Systems)
Database Management Systems
Technology
Architectural Aspects
Availability of Helpdesk Support
Languages
Incident Management
Internal Quality Assurance Systems
CFR 21 part 11 Compliancy
MESA-11 Compliance
S95 Compliance
In some graphs a comparison is being made with results of surveys in previous years. These
comparisons are just a global indication. The current CMG's survey differs on several
aspects from the previous surveys with respect to the content as well as to the products
involved.
5.2
Production Typology
The production processes can be divided into a number of typologies. In this survey the
following production typologies were used:
-
Continuous Process
Batch / Semi Process
Make to Stock (standard products in mass)
Make to Order
Engineer to Order
In Figure 9 on the next page it seems that there are since 2001 less products for the batch
and semi process industry than in 2000. However, compared to the years before in 2001 the
number of North American vendors (and products) has become larger. In that part of the
world MES is applied relatively more in the discrete production than in the batch / semi
process environment. This has influenced the policy of the vendors. All this results in,
relatively (!) less products dedicated to the batch / semi process industry.
The results for 2002 are more or less the same as in last year, except for a significant growth
in the number of supporting products for Engineer to Order and a somewhat smaller growth
for support of continuous processing.

Figure 10 Number of supported Production Typologies per Product.
It seems that in comparison with last years' survey more products are focussing their support
to a limited number of production typologies. Many products are offering functionalities for
more than one production typology. In Figure 10 it is shown that 74.2% of the products are
supporting at least 3 different typologies. Last year this was higher: 81%.
Supporting does mean in this case that the vendor indicated the suitability of the product with
a score of 5 or higher on a scale from 1 to 6. Details about the way these scores should be
interpreted can be found in section 7.3.

Focus of Vendors on Market Segments
In the questionnaire 18 market segments were defined. In the table below the answers of the
vendors are depicted to the question: "Is your product developed for use in specific branches
or are you focussing at specific branches to sell licenses of your product?".

It is clear that some vendors are really focussing on a limited number of market segments
while others seem to have a broader interest. In the table below and in Figure 13 on the next
page the focus per branche is depicted. From that it appears that electronics, pharmaceutical
industry, food and beverage, automotive, aerospace and defense and Consumer Packed
Goods have got the highest priority of the vendors.

Projects per Industry Segment
In the questionnaire the vendors where asked how many projects are realised with their
products until now and their expectations for next year. No distinction is made to the size of
the projects! Based on the answers of 25 vendors (out of 31) the graph below gives an
impression how these projects are divided over the various markets.

Platforms
Nearly all products are supporting (still) Windows NT on Intel. The number of applications on
Windows 2000, doubled last year, is now even better supported than Windows NT (see
Figure 16 ). Windows XP is a possibility for about 52% of all products. If Windows XP is
supported then application of Windows 2000 and NT (Intel) is always possible. That may
lead to the assumption, that the use of the new specific Windows XP functionality might be
rather limited.

The support of Unix remains more or less stable at about 45% of the products. Although
some vendors were stating last year that their product would be operating on Linux in the
future, this is not noticeable in the responses. The support for this platform is still limited to
about 10%. The support for the AS/400 and the Open VMS are also rather low.

Out of the graph on the next page it becomes clear that many vendors of MES products have
chosen to apply the modern techniques (dominated by Microsoft). This enables the
exchange of data and interaction of functionality between different MES applications and
Front Office packages. No numbers are given in Figure 20 for OLE, ODBC and XML for the
year 2000, because they were not in that years' questionnaire. DotNet was added this year.

Architecture
The answers on the questions about architectural aspects indicated that nearly all products
are based on client/server technology. The performance related aspects as distributed
architecture and load balancing scored significantly less than last year. Getting access to the
application is considered important. Over 77% of the products are web-enabled and provide
support for thin clients.

Helpdesk Support
Quite important is the availability of support by the vendors or their partners. In the table
below the availability of helpdesk support in the major parts of the world is listed. Also
indicated is whether this support can be provided 24 hours per day and 7 days per week. It is
clearly shown that almost all vendors have organised helpdesk support in North America and
Europe. In most cases this support is available day and night.

one language. The column “Multi Language” is self explaining. “Full NLS” stands for full
National Language Support. It means that the product identifies the language in which the
user works, retrieves strings, representing times, dates, etc. formatted correctly for the
specified language and location. It also provides support for keyboard layouts and languagespecific fonts. “DBCS” indicates if the product supports the use of so called Double-Byte
Characters. This is necessary for using languages like Chinese and Japanese.

5.11 Internal Quality Systems
Although not obliged some of the vendors are using internal quality systems in order to
improve the control of their own production processes and services. Most well known
examples of such systems are ISO9000 and SEI/CMM of which recently a new version was
released.
Especially in Europe more and more potential end users prefer to work together with vendors
that have such an internal quality system preferably a certified one.
The answers of the vendors concerning the application of an internal quality system are
listed in the table below. About 80% is using such a quality system. Just over the half of them
is assessed or certified (45.2% of the products). But only 8 vendors (25.8%) do have a valid
certificate for their internal quality system.

5.12 Validation and Regulatory Compliance
One of the most well known regulations is opposed by the American Food and Drugs
Association (FDA). Already since august 20th 1997 working under FDA regulations means
you are obligated to comply with "21 CFR part 11". In 1999 FDA announces that this code
will have their special attention during audits. They expect companies to have a statement
containing their current compliance state and a roadmap of how the company will implement
complete compliance.

"21 CFR part 11" is also about electronic records and electronic signatures! Any combination
of text, graphics, data, audio, pictorial, or other information representation in digital form that
is created, modified, maintained, archived, retrieved or distributed under any records
requirements set forth in FDA regulations is submitted to this code. The purpose of this code
is to create the opportunity for the FDA and the pharmaceutical industry to improve
operational efficiencies and to reduce paperwork. It will also force companies to improve the
integrity of data in existing systems.
GAMP is a widely used, internationally accepted, guideline for validation of computer
systems. It helps organisations to develop:
validated and compliant automated systems using the concept of prospective
validation following a life cycle model
procedures to ensure the automated system remains in a validated state once it is
validated and in operation
-
Nearly 55% of the products is compliant to "21 CFR part 11" according to their vendors, while
over 61% of the products are already deployed in a regulated production environment. These
figures are corresponding with the focus of 15 vendors on the pharmaceutical market (see
also Figure 13 on page 20).
5.13 MESA-11 Compliance
As in the previous reports the vendors have validated their products against the 11 MESA
functions for each of the 5 industry typologies (see 5.2). The average scores of all vendors

5.14 S95 Compliance
The average scores of 27 vendors per functional areas and the corresponding information
are depicted in Figure 28 . Except for four (4), all vendors did provide answers to the
questions related to the S95 Compliance.
Summarising it can be concluded, as in last years’ survey, that:
- Best supported are:
- Operations Control (3.2)
- Operations Planning (3.3)
- Quality Assurance (6.0)
- Less supported are:
- Product Cost Accounting (9.0)
- Maintenance Management (10.0)
- Production Scheduling Informations are also well available.
- The scores for a functional area and its related information are not always the same,
e.g. Production Scheduling.
- None of the products is fully S95 compliant yet.
- Better, because more detailed, tool for MES product comparisons than the MESA-11
only.
- S95 is a good basis for Reference Models for specific Branches.

OBSERVATIONS AND TRENDS
MES products more mature
The term MES is introduced in the early nineties in the US. The principles of MES are much
older. They were already present in the term Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) that
was in focus around 1985. Especially in recent years the MES products became more
mature with respect to functionality, to the implemented techniques and the use in real
practice. So, they are becoming more and more applicable.
The MES market is becoming more mature also. At the MESA Conference in Boston Bill
Swanton (AMR ) stated: "MES is almost a teenager". Although growth rates are decreasing
from about 25% in 1998 to approximately 5% in 2001, AMR foresees a growth the years to
come. The mergers and acquisitions during the last few years are also an indication of a
more mature market, consolidating its products.
6.2
Mergers & Acquisitions 7
Perhaps the most interesting trend, particularly for global manufacturers, is the acquisition of
MES companies and products by major industrial controls suppliers8. Being part of a Global
500 company certainly reduces the risk of a long-term relationship for mission-critical
software. These global companies often already have personnel knowledgeable about and
local to most of the plants. Local distributor networks will have varying understanding of
plantwide issues and the MES product lines. Even direct employee offices of these major
control companies will provide varying levels of capability. Most are hardware companies at
their core, and learning to sell and support plantwide software effectively is a major
departure. However, as they assimilate these businesses, they are working to build out their
worldwide MES knowledge.
In some cases, two plant floor software companies have merged. This can broaden either
the functionality, the industry breadth, or both. In some cases, the functionality expands
deeper toward controls, in others toward the supply chain through plant scheduling. Another
facet of mergers & acquisitions has appeared in the form of product companies acquiring
service firms to provide single point of contact projects. All of these serve buyers by
increasing company size as well as providing one source for more of the plant solution set.
6.3
Functional Shift 9
A number of factors have come together to shift the focus of MES functionality, also. The
increasing emphasis on supply chain effectiveness and customer responsiveness is one of
these factors. The increasing use of outsourced manufacturing and increased reliance on
suppliers plus globalization are further business realities that affect what companies want
from MES. Another factor is the Internet, which has set new expectations for data
accessibility and distribution. Yet another is the current difficult economy, in which companies

are focused on cost saving opportunities, yet investing only in small projects with a rapid
projected time to benefit.
Manufacturers have realized that they compete as supply chains, and that production is a
key element for keeping customer service levels high. In a supply chain, each plant is just
one element, acting as customer for certain materials and subassemblies and supplying
others. As a result, the MES systems are being asked to provide real-time insight into plant
operations for buyers in procurement, customer service and sales representatives, and
distribution and logistics managers as well as their traditional users inside the plant.
Outsourcing and increased reliance on suppliers of all sorts makes sense, but reduces
control and visibility into operations. As OEMs strive to promise customer orders more
accurately and as contract manufacturers and suppliers compete to become extensions of
these companies, MES systems are being asked to deliver information outside the company
firewall. In many cases, the MES is also being asked to feed into supplier scorecard
applications. This requires that data be transformed into information about plant performance
on quality, delivery, cost, and other product and process parameters. Plant Intelligence
functions are increasingly common for MES.
The Internet has enabled MES suppliers to provide plant information to other systems and
users more easily. The mechanism to distribute information to non-plant users and to
outsourcing customers is usually a web-based interface into the MES. Internet visibility into
MES also allows global operations and supply chains to stay synchronized more easily. The
data is easily accessible at any time, in real-time. Reducing the need for people to reach
another human being in a different time zone who speaks a different native language can
greatly increase efficiency and reduce misunderstandings and delays.
6.4
MES: a necessity for Supply Chain Management
Especially right now MES is in the spotlights, because it enables a better control of the own
production processes. That is one of the most important issues to be able to play an
adequate role in the supply chain. An enterprise is not alone, but its objective is to satisfy
their customers in co-operation with suppliers and direct consumers and at the same time
make a proper profit.
If a company does not control its own production processes with respect to flexibility and
costs the partners in de supply chain will look for somebody else. Especially these two
aspects, flexibility and production costs, are most important for using MES. Once all involved
in the supply chain are really in control of their own and collaborating processes, the
competition will shift to a battle between different supply chains processing the same kind of
goods. In Europe these competing supply chains exist already for many years in agricultural
businesses. Large co-operations are controlling complete chains from raising chickens to
distribution of egg products to retail, from cattle improvement via dairy to production of
pharmaceutical ingredients from what the dairy companies have left over from their cheese
production.

Marking out with other systems
As depicted in Figure 29 MES is not the only information system involved. Several other
systems might be installed with which information has to be exchanged. This figure also
shows, that there is no sharp border between the various systems. They are overlapping.

Based upon the specific situation of the end user a choice has to be made which products
(systems) can be installed best and where the borders have to be drawn.
A standard connection between MES products and ERP systems is in most cases available.
There are many successful implementations of these interfaces already.
6.6
Best of breed versus integrated solutions
MES can be realised with one integrated product, but also by using a number of packages
precisely tuned to each other. In Annex A of this report it is shown that some MES products
are not supporting some specific functionalities at all. In particular this concerns:
-
Operations / Detailed Scheduling
Document Control
Labour Management
Quality Management
Maintenance Management
Especially for these functions there are "best of breed" solutions available, which are based
on state-of-the-art (communication) technologies. Because of that these products easily fit in
a complete MES solution.
There are also MES vendors, who are buying producers of best-of-breed products and
integrate that solution and/or knowledge and experience into their own product.
35
6.7
Better integration by up-to-date technology
In order to make optimal use of the fast progressing technological developments the market
is asking for standardisation of information systems. This is also valid for MES products.
Although much has to be done on this aspect, vendors are already anticipating to this
demand by implementing up-to-date technology in their products. For example, more often
information from the MES products is available via the Intranet and or Internet. Also a
tendency can be observed towards a limited number of platforms and database systems.
This enables a better integration between systems and products.

The vendors had the opportunity to mention, again up to 20, functionalities or modules of
their product that are capable to configure to meet the requirements of industry specific
processes.
•
Supported and Unsupported Aspects
Related to the 11 MESA functions the vendors were asked to indicate what aspects their
product does and does not support. A number of vendors did provide an answer to this
question. If a product is not mentioned in this Annex A, the vendor gave no answer.
7.2
S95 Compliance Details
Annex B comprises all scores of all vendors to the compliance of their products to the S95
Functions and Informations. Also is indicated if an interface is available for some
informations which might not be supported by the product itself.
7.3
Compliance Scores
For the compliance to the 11 MESA functions and for the S95 Functions and Informations the
vendors were asked to provide a score on a scale from 1 to 6. The validation of these scores
is defined as:
1. The product does not support any part of the functionality as intended within the
MESA/S95 definition.
2. The product meets some of the functionality as intended by the MESA/S95, but less
than 20%. The product can perform some tasks but not extensively.
3. The product meets approximately 20-40% of the functionality, but the product is not
explicitly designed to perform heavy tasks in that area..
4. The product meets approximately 40-60% of the functionality and is suitable for most
average companies.
5. The product meets 60-80% of the functionality and the product is specifically
designed to perform these tasks, also in heavy-duty environments.
6. The product meets 80-100% of the functionality and the product can meet itself with
the best in class (stand-alone) products designed for this functionality.
Remark:
If the vendor did not provide any information about the MESA-11 or S95
compliance a score of 1 is assumed.

4C fully supports Resource Allocation and Status Tracking. Resources in 4C are such things as
people, tools, materials,documents, etc. In essesnse, any resources that are required in the production
of an item that could be constraining are considered. Not only does 4C@Site provide for the ability to
monitor a wide variety of resources, it also provides for the ability to optimize the use of alternate
resources and alternate parts in optimizing the use of the factory floor and the resources available.

In it's production of a schedule, 4C@Site actually produces both a Fantasy and a Reality Schedule
and Capacity Load. The reason this is "unique" and dynamic" is that is it "alway on" and always
responding to change, always responding to events occurring. 4C@Site recognizes all constraints,
including relavent material, capacity, people, tools, etc in producing a feasible schedule that can be
acted upon. Additionally, 4C@Site supports multiple methodologies of prioritizing the schedule
thereby producing not only a feasible, optimized schedule, but one that meets the company"s business
goals. That schedule may adhere to goals surrounding the concept of grouping, or sequencing, to
ensure production of jobs to minimize costly changeover, for example. Or the schedule may be
prioritized to maximize delivery for particular customers or particular orders, etc. 4C@Site also
provides powerful "What if" capability to allow you to perform simulations to determine whether or not to
take a particular action, or make a commitment, etc.
Changes occur in 4C in real-time based on real-time events. Each installation sets the tolerances that
defines what constitutes a reschedule. Unlike other applications, 4C attempts to re-schedule adhering
to the company goals and yet with the minimum amount of impact on the schedule. In this way 4C
avoids the situation of a volitile shop floor resulting from constant rescheduling.
4C@Site allows the attachment of documents (electronically) to any data element within 4C.
Therefore, documents created outside of 4C, such as safety regulation documents, government
regulations, FDA documents, etc. can be viewed and executed from within 4C@Site using our External
Application capability. Additionally, certain documents are supported within 4C, such as Travelers and
several standard reports. Customers may also produce their own reports through the use of Crystal
Reports, which is embedded into the 4C product.
4C@Site supports functionality traditionally found in multiple, distinct applications. In this particular
instance, we not only support the scheduling capabilities, described above, but also support the data
collection and execution capabilities traditionally relagated to Manufacturing Execution applications.
Therefore, not only does 4C provide event-based scheduling capability, the "always on" engine tracks
transactions, providing continuous information concerning the performance and integrity of the shop
floor actitivites. Therefore, as events happen on the shop floor, 4C@Site is constantly monitoring and
responding and rescheduling in real-time to ensure optimal performance.
4C@Site currently allows, through our MES capabilities, the ability to track labor to the finest degree
including, the start and stop of jobs by employee, the pause of activities, etc. Therefore, the data is
currently being collected to determine how much time an employee worked on a particular job,etc. We
will be extending this capability in the future to include full blown Labor Management capabilities.
Once again much of the base data is being tracked in the base design of 4C - Quality is a future
module that will be supported.
Process Authoring and Process Improvement mechanisms provide for such capabilities as: (1)
Authoring Control - Provides for the ability to tie a routing or group of routings t0 a set of documents
(ECO, ECN), provides for variation and revision control for the Bill of Operation and Bill of Material,
and authorizes document flow control and approval. Additionally, it manages the creation of the BOM,
the effectivity of routings, operations, and BOMs, defines buyoffs, defines data collection points,
maintains a repository for processing specifications, drawings, graphics, etc. Alerting activities and
alarming conditions are fully supported in the product today. The alerts can be based on particular
tolerances or changes in conditions. Additionally, they can be escallated based on severity.
Today, 4C@Site maintains data on the amount of usage relative to a particular tool. Additionally a
calendar can be associated with a tool. Therefore, maintenance in terms of tool availability can be
monitored by 4C@Site.
4C provides for full product traceability and maintains a true "as built" geneology, with the ability to
provide full serial number and lot traceability. Additionally incidents, such as rework and scrap by
production order by operation will be maintained throughout the required time. At the summary level, a
Production Manager, for example can review the entire operation at the detail level or can receive a
quick snapshot of the plants "problems only."
Once again much of the base data is being tracked in the base design of 4C. For example, resource
utlization and availability is tracked and readily available to the user. However, other areas can be
retained but are not being displayed or measured at this time.

Although the core data is currently being stored with the 4C@Site application and could readily be
extracted, the QA module is a future capability of 4C in terms of true statistical QA analysis and
tracking, modeling and analysis, support for ISO certication, etc.
nMetric will further be adding the definition of Operation Groups for accounting purpoes (back flushing,
grouping for shifts, etc). Additionally, enhancements will be made to our ability to define complex
precedence for operations.
Because the raw data and the product structure is currently in 4C@site, we will be adding 4C-Tool as a
future module. It will look at real-time usage data in determining tooling maintainance and procurement.
Areas such as cycle time, conformance to schedule, performance to standards, etc are not currently
being measured or monitored at this time.

This functionality is fully covered by proCX. ProCX allows to allocate the necessary materials and
equipment using the process model and recipe (batch) management. Additionally the tracking and
tracing module offers the possibility to determine the status of the required resources.
This functionality is fully covered by proCX. The batch management functionality allows the user to
create and update production schedules, ensuring that available facilities and resources can be
deployed in an efficient way. Advanced optimization is possible through an interface between proCX
and an advanced production scheduling system (APS).
This functionality is fully covered by proCX. After a batch is started the necessary resources and
materials will be allocated to start the production. The actual control of physical resources is executed
by a primary control layer (OCS), proCX offers different possibilities to interface with OCS's.

the proCX inventory module is able to link the used resources to the batches. This is an intrinsic
function of the system. In addition to the standard reporting functionality offered by the system,
external reporting systems can be used. Compex prefers BusinessObjects (BO) for these purposes,
other systems can be used though.
This functionality is fully covered by proCX. For collecting and archiving of process and production
information an Oracle database is used. Not only data generated by proCX can be stored, but also data
coming from other systems such as an ERP or an automation system.
This functionality is covered by proCX. ProCX allows to register and record activities of shifts/personnel
and workflow procedures.
This functionality is covered by proCX. By means of the Tracking & Tracing functionality and material
flow control the production data can be used for QA purposes. Full QA functionality is covered by a
combination of the Compex product Unilab 4 (LIMS) and proCX, fully integrated.
This functionality is fully covered by proCX. proCX allows to report on status, progress etc.. Additionally
the proCX inventory module is able to link the used resources to the batches. This is an intrinsic
function of the system. Information concerning progress is also linked back to the scheduler. ProCX
offers standard integration possibilities with SCADA systems. A SCADA complements proCX offering
the possibility of real-time process images.
ProCX has the possibility of close cooperation with maintenance management systems. The 2
examples below illustrate this:: (1) proCX executes maintenance operations on the production floor.
The order for maintenance is incorporated in the production planning just like other operations and
batches. The information that is made available after the execution of this operation can be redirected
to the maintenance management system. (2) proCX can register data for use by the maintenance
system. Information such as the number of times an operation was executed (counter) can be valuable
input for preventive maintenance.
This functionality is fully covered by proCX. The Tracking & Tracing and material flow control
functionalities within proCX offer a full traceability of the production process and the used materials.
This is an intrinsic function of proCX. From any moment in the production process or any moment in
time, it is possible to trace what has taken place before that moment and after. That covers full
traceability of materials and resources.
This functionality is fully covered by proCX. The production data is stored in a relational database,
which can be used for performance analyses of the production (facilities).

However, within proCX it is not possible to plan human resources based on the production planning.
For this purpose an interface could be installed with a third party system that covers this functionality.

FACTORYworks provides detailed history and real-time management and of all resources required by
the material
FACTORYworks provides basic scheduling/prioritization capabilities. For more advanced functionality,
FACTORYworks is already integrated with the Brooks product APF to provide this capability.
FACTORYworks provides detailed history and real-time management and of all product that flows
through the facility. This includes any non-standard cycles such as rework, scrap, etc.
FACTORYworks process specifications and flows are under full version control. All material is tracked
and recorded according to specific versions of the process model.
FACTORYworks includes the capability to record and store both production and parametric data in realtime.
FACTORYworks records the operator with all transactions
FACTORYworks includes the capability to analyze, graph and store both production and parametric
data in real-time. It is also integrated with the Brooks' SPC product (Cornerstone) to provide non-realtime data analysis capabilities
FACTORYworks process planning tools allows the engineer to define a very flexible and complex flow
that can react to changes in the lot's attributes or data. It can react to information that was collected in
either a manual or automatic mode.
FACTORYworks provides basic equipment management capabilities. In addition, FACTORYworks is
already integrated with the Brooks Xsite product to provide complete equipment & maintenance
management capabilities including state modeling and spare parts inventory control.
FACTORYworks provides detailed history and real-time management and of all product that flows
through the facility. This includes any non-standard cycles such as rework, scrap, etc.
In addition to the production database, FACTORYworks has a reporting database to ease the
development and generation of reports. The reporting database is updated with real-time information
from the production database every few minutes (User-defined). Both databases are fully relational
and can be accessed by any commercial reporting tools that supports Oracle. FACTORYworks
provides some example production reports. Finally, FACTORYworks is integrated with the Brooks'
SPC product (Cornerstone) to provide data/SPC analysis capabilities

of work
Detailed work queues provide visability of status and health of orders. Includes customer defineable
process statuses, priorities and updates to scheduled dates. HMS provides a project management
interface that is used to initally laod and update scheduling packages as needed.
Strength of system. Allows tracking and management of unitized and non unitized orders throught the
life cycle of the order. Buyoffs and certifications checked throughout order as defined in the CAPP
system. Includes work queue with real time critical ratio, scheduled due dates, promise dates and
priorities. Status codes can be updated throughout process. Supports bathing and order splits.
Strength of system. Provides the shop with the proper documentation from one central point. Work
instructions, drawings, 3D models, specs and other data is readily available. Full order maintenance
with approval workflow provides electronic updates to released started orders. Shift notes and planning
feedback enhance communication. All data is stored in a configurable format for achived history record.
Data collection is an integral part of the production order. The data can be manually entered or
transferred from equipement with an interface. Data is archived as part of the as-built record.
Transaction and labor history provides complete searchable information of labor activity. Operations
starts can require certifications and skill levels. Provides feeds to scheduling tools.
A completely integrated nonconformance management and corrective/preventative action module are
available. Rejects can be initiated from the shop floor system and routed automatically for review and
dispositions. Rework orders can be launched and worked through the common shop user interface.
Corrective Actions can be initiated from within a discrepancy or seperately as needed.
Interfaces to equipement can be developed and alarms set, but not part of the COTS product

BOM, test results, etc. Links are defined toward label files or other binary inputs and versions are
recorded once the links are exercised. Unit travellers, corrective action requests, and defective unit
travellers are created on paper and also retained electronically. Pinata's centralized index to all of this
information is called a product file.
Pinata's capability is very open, as its WIP database is a text file for each unit and order. This format is
an open interface for other system to write data or for links to binary information to be recorded.
Functionality exists currently for Pinata to interface with many different types of data collection /
acquisition sources. Pinata can be customized to either acquire data, or collect and evaluate the data
prior to proceeding with the manufacturing process.
Tracks cycle times by station, operation, or operator, provides reports
Provides bi-directional interfaces to various quality measurement systems. Also includes weigh check /
kickoff capabilities. Palo defect tracking provides conext-sensitive help with analyzing and tracking
quality-sensitive data, such as process and product defect discovery, analysis, repair or removal from
WIP. Arbitro auditing provides in-line and off-line auditing and laboratory testing. Palo and Arbitro
results are retained in history to provide SPC analysis and reporting. Near-Realtime pareto of most
common quality failures are show for workorder, shift, and process operation.
Pinata manages the build process and provides data for analysis of the process characteristics,
optimization, and throughput.
Little or no maintenance management support
Enforces serialization rules as they are configured for each product or workorder. Also thoroughly
enforces / validates material inputs. Genealogy includes historical geneaology of consumed
assemblies or kits. Product is tracked thoroughout the confiurable route, and acceptable results from
each step are validated each time the unit is touched. Historical record includes station, operator
names, cycle times, serialized or scannable parts added, route step results, custom operator inputs,
label or test code versions, and many other configureable options.
Data is provided to customer for very thorough reporting. Reporting is usually defined by owners
engineer or systems integrator using third party reporting products (crystal, Brio, or Business Objects,
etc). Custom can choose their database preference and alter the database schema to fitt their needs
without risking support problems or future compatibility issues.

People and Machines can be assigned to work. Histograms are used to view utilization of resources
before assigning the resource. Easy drag and drop assignment of resources.
Operation flow can be specified with parallel and alternate branches. Sequence of operations is
enforced in execution. Master schedule is expected from an ERP or APS system. Solumina display the
schedule and resource hsitograms and allows the shop to modify their day to day schedule with the
master schedule in view.
Only jobs ready to be worked are presented in the dispatch list. Supervisors can assign work and adjust
the daily schedule with simple drag and drop on the gantt and histogram views. Rework and Salvage
processes are available. E-mail notifications linked to Solumina can be used in conjunction with the
dispatch for groups that are not intense users of the application like vendors and customers.
Work instructions include bill of materials, tooling, standard operating instructions, drawings, data
collection and buyoffs. All execution information is stored as part of the as-built including discrepancy
disposition, rework instructions and corrective action. All documentation changes have configurable
approval process.
Data collection and buyoff requirements are authored into the work instructions and executed on-line.
The user can not complete the work unless all data collection requirements are fulfilled. User is warned
of data outside of control limits.
Personnel assignment to jobs is performed with visibility of workload already assigned in histogram
format and with visibility of skills and certification for each person compared with requirements for the
job. Personnel signs on and off jobs as work is performed.

QA buyoff points are authored in the work instructions and are required to complete work operations.
Rejected buyoffs trigger discrepancy documentation. Disposition of discrepancies can include rework
instructions authored into some work order or supplemental work order. Cause, defect and symptom
types can be specified for analysis. Defect normalization to opportunity and/or process type is
supported. Corrective Action can also be requested from the discrepancy or independently. Corrective
Action provides for branching of root cause analysis through multiple organizations, authoring and
execution of verification plan including verification of implementation and effectiveness. Reports and
graphs are available to visually assess discrepancy/defect trends and areas for improvement.
Data collection is performed online. User is warned if out of control limits. Alarm LEDs for
holds/constraints for parts, tools, engineering or quality disposition. Changes to work instructions are
also noted.
Product could be used for maintenance work plans and work orders to service equipment/tools.
All work instructions, status, data collection and discrepancy disposition information is recorded in the
database and available as the work is performed. Solumina maintains records of serial and lot identified
parts as they are built and as they are installed/removed to/from higher level assemblies providing a
complete as-built history that includes all data collected during the manufacturing proces including
discrepancy disposition and rework instructions from the top level assembly and down the installed
component tree.
Solumina's graphical dispatch provides real time information on actual and revised dates versus master
schedule dates in gantt format and also resource utilization in histogram format. Trends in unit span
time can also be viewed in the gantt display. Solumina provides built-in report and graph writers.
Reports and graphs are available from the work order, discrepancy, dispatch or administrative screens.

Time and Attendance and distribution of labor time to direct and indirect activities requires an interface
to a Labor Reporting system like Autotime or Cetec. Integration with APS system can provide optimized
schedule dates and priorities. Next release of Solumina's integration interfaces will provide additional
support of XML and OAG standards.
Real time data acquisition and analysis is supported through 3rd party or custom.
No automated triggers based on machine or equipment monitor; could be done custom for a customer
utilizing the Solumina API to communicate to application.
No trouble call system. No preventive maintenance scheduling.
Solumina is planning collaboration intiatives to exchange this information among manufacturers of subassemblies and among maintenance organizations.
Solumina is planning to provide data-mart like capabilities as part of its future solution set. More out-ofthe-box performance reports and graphs are also planned.

• Dynamic manufacturing allocation and synchronization keeps orders on track - zero in on order status
and provide real-time feedback for critical mid-course correction and much more. Features include bill
of process modeling, dynamic finite scheduling, manufacturing execution and full integration with
ERP/MRP systems. Translate an optimized plan into the details you need to execute orders and generate online dispatch lists. • Bill of process - enable direct delivery of materials to the right operation, in
the right quantity, at the right time. Using graphical process modeling, you can create a bill of process
that lets you define and depict all resources, activities and policies needed to fulfill customer orders. It
includes materials, capacity constrained resources (such as m a chines, tools and labor) as well as
drawings, tool delivery, approvals and other support resources.
Dynamic finite scheduling - translate optimized plans into the detail needed to execute orders and
generate on-line dispatch lists with up-to-the- minute requirements for parts, labor, m a chines,
document a t i on and support activities. The scheduler incorporates user-defined dispatching rules by
operation, continuously evaluating actual status versus projected status. It identifies variances to plan
and their impact as they occur so that you’ll immediately know if you’ll be able to fulfill the customer’s
demand on time.
Manufacturing execution – have real-time, decision making power based on current w rk orders,
activities and resou rces. The system monitors shop floor activity, analyzes job status and
communicates it throughout the organization. Production operators receive dispatched orders and, in
turn, can update the system with status reports and any p roblems enc ou ntered. SynQuest also
provides operators with the detail they require, from on-line documents to destinations for completed
work. It supports two-way communication between operators and support centers instructing them with
specification items to support the production schedule and allowing them to respond
All required documents (e.g. forms, drawings, pictures etc.) can be linked to either items, operations or
orders. All info can ge used by operators at the shopfloor at the moment of order execution.
The reporting and monitoring of Shop floor activities using an operator view are an integrated
functionality in the Virtual Production Engine and provide accurate work order and production reporting.
The system can also include an automation integration database and tools plus an enhanced operator
view, reducing the need for operator reporting by enabling direct transactions from machines, hand
held devices, etc.
Labor will be allocated to orders based on avialability and status of labor resourcesare availablr in and
up - to - the - minute time frame. Includes time and attendance reporting. The ability to track indirect
activities such as material preparation or tool room work as a basis for event based costing. It's
allocation will interact with resource allocation to determine optimal assignments.
Provides real time analysis of measurements collected from manufacturing to assure proper product
quality control and to identify problems requiring attention. It may recommend action to correct the
problem, including correlation the symptom, actions and results to determine the cause.
The Virtual Production Engine Monitors production and either automatically corrects or provides
decision support to operators for correcting and improving in - process activities. These activities may
be intra - operational and focus specifically on machines or equipment being monitored and controlled
as well as inter - operational, which is tracking the process from on operation to the next. I may include
alarm management to make sure factory person(s) are aware of problems which arise during the
ececution of the job. It provides interfaces between intelligent equipment and MES possible through
Data Collection / Acquisition.
The Virtual Production Engine provides the visibility to where work is at all times and its disposition.
Status information may include who is working on it; components materials by supplier, lot, serial
number, current production conditions, and any alarms, rework, or other exceptions related to the
product. The on - line tracking function creates a historical record, as well. This record allows
traceability of components and usage of each end product.
