Nexeed Manufacturing Execution System

The collection of operating data and machine data (PDA/MDA) is a function which, among other things, processes technical or organizational downtimes and operating periods as well as information about malfunctions and their causes, implemented maintenance measures or produced quantities and evaluates these. In this way, users gain important information to optimize their production.

Operating equipment management safeguards availability in-keeping with deadlines and requirements, and it also assures the technical functionality of the operating equipment. A whole range of different solutions are available for demand-orientated deployment from tool management to various maintenance measures and inventory functions.

With the aid of information management, the data collected by the system are processed according to the specific target group and made available according to the application. Here, users can call up the data not only in an automated manner in cyclical periods but also manually depending on requirement. This allows them to maintain at all times an overview of all events in production. Multi-layered escalation management also ensures that any deviations are quickly detected and potential faults are rectified promptly.

Material management serves as a means of supplying production with material, in-keeping with deadlines and requirements. Furthermore, it coordinates the flow of goods and materials from the point at which goods/materials are received up to their use. Various functions enable the flexible handling of materials or timely planning. In this way, material management contributes significantly towards an increase in efficiency and a reduction in material costs.

Planned production and clear procedures are the foundation for any efficient production. The functions of planning and control make it possible to comply with process restrictions and to achieve production goals at the same time. Production planning and production control, therefore, deal with planning, control and monitoring of production. Real-time control ensures that defined process sequences are adhered to reliably.

Fast networking and flexible configuration support the changeableness of production. Accordingly, shop floor integration is an important prerequisite for the successful implementation of Industry 4.0 concepts. Only with the seamless horizontal and vertical connection of all machines to the system topography is it possible to assure successful communication in real-time.

The ongoing collection of data as well as monitoring and the documentation of manufactured items are essential for product and process quality. With the aid of defined quality gates, the entire added value chain can be reproduced and checked. Archiving tools ensure the reliable and long-term storage of production data and, in this way, form the basis for the traceability of components.
