Esi MES is a modular platform that supports every stage of the production cycle.
Its features enable raw data to be transformed into useful information, ensuring efficiency and compliance.
• Finite-capacity scheduling and order dispatch: receives production orders from the ERP system and schedules them across production lines and machines, managing priorities and optimizing the allocation of resources (materials, equipment, staff).
• Resource management: monitoring the operational status of machines and equipment, facilitating their allocation and set-up.
• Workforce management: tracking of working hours and operators’ skills to ensure the deployment of qualified staff and the accurate recording of working hours on the job order.
• Automatic data acquisition (IIoT): automatic collection of data directly from machines (PLCs, SCADA systems, sensors) via standard industrial protocols, eliminating human error during data entry.
• Performance monitoring: real-time calculation of key metrics such as OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness), cycle times, set-up times and causes of machine downtime.
• Operator interfaces: provides operators with intuitive panels (HMIs) for entering contextual data (e.g. batch start/end, manual rejects, non-automatic stoppages). Furthermore, operators can access work instructions (technical drawings, assembly instructions, quality tests) digitally and promptly, directly on the production line.
• Batch traceability and product history: continuous tracking of the production batch and all raw materials used, from receipt (in conjunction with Esi WMS through to the finished product, with a record of the operations carried out.
• Testing and inspection integration: direct link with Esi TEST to store and link the results of final inspections to each serial number.
• Non-conformity management: opening, tracking and management of anomalies detected during the production cycle (scrap, defects), with the option of root cause analysis.
• Task-based maintenance (PMS): supports preventive and predictive maintenance, triggering maintenance orders based on precise parameters (elapsed time, number of cycles performed, units produced).
A web-based application, ready for industrial use.
Esi MES is a web-based platform designed to operate in data-intensive industrial environments, ensuring scalability, reliability and secure access to real-time production data.
The system is based on a modular architecture, comprising independent components.
This enables companies to:
The platform employs an event-driven architecture that enables the native integration of numerous modules and systems.
Every event is logged and traced to its source, ensuring:
Esi MES is based on Docker containers, which ensure rapid deployment, greater stability and scalability.
This approach enables simpler updates, service isolation and efficient management of on-premises and cloud environments.
Esi MES integrates seamlessly with the company’s ERP system, enabling:
Esi MES is designed to collect and correlate data from various sources, including:
Automatic real-time data collection enables the identification of the causes, duration and frequency of downtime, allowing for rapid and targeted interventions.
The system automatically and objectively calculates key production KPIs, providing a solid basis for continuous improvement.
Thanks to finite capacity scheduling, the planning module generates production plans consistent with the actual capacities of machines and resources.
Esi MES documents the entire batch pedigree, including:
This ensures maximum control, regulatory compliance and rapid intervention in the event of non-compliance.
