IT support in production plays a key role for Integrated Industry (in Germany called Industry 4.0). In order to cover future production processes new standards and functions are required, which will especially affect MES applications. With MES 4.0 MPDV introduced a concept for the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) of the future.
MES 4.0 covers the following:
- Interoperability
- Flexibility
- Management support
- Horizontal integration
- Online capability
- Mobility
- Integrative data management
- Decentralization
- Unified Shop Floor Connectivity
- Big Data
- Security by Design
- Human Factor
Processes can be significantly improved and every day production routines can be tackled more efficiently - also in a decentralized production moving towards Industry 4.0.
