MES for automotive
The automotive sector is one of the most complex and demanding industries of all. The automotive industry is characterized by high standards of quality, precision, efficiency, and innovation. An example is the field of electromobility. The same goes for the aerospace industry as planes and rockets are complex structures made up of countless components. As the end products usually transport people, safety is one of the greatest concerns. To fulfill these requirements, the products must be compliant and meet legal standards. A Manufacturing Execution System (MES) like HYDRA X supports manufacturers from the automotive and aerospace sectors in complying with these specifications and producing competitively at the same time.
Production planning with an Advanced Planning and Scheduling System (APS) such as FEDRA guarantees a smooth production process at all times as the system can map countless dependencies, critical influencing factors, and a large number of variants.
Finally, production IT in the automotive industry must meet a multitude of requirements to comply with the high standards and dynamics of the industry. Close cooperation between IT specialists, production experts, and management is necessary to develop and successfully implement customized software solutions.
These requirements apply to car manufacturers, manufacturers of commercial vehicles and aircraft as well as their numerous suppliers.
Automotive and its specific demands on...
- Variant diversity is omnipresent in the automotive industry. To ensure that everything runs smoothly, logistics concepts such as just-in-time and/or just-in-sequence are used in addition to complex assembly processes. The application of the Assembly Management in HYDRA X can tackle these requirements.
- As automotive safety is always an issue, the traceability of parts is extremely important. You can document your manufacturing process completely and trace which material was used in which product at any time.
- Complex assembly processes are not only a challenge for production IT, but also for employees in the shop floor. An intuitive operator guidance improves work on the assembly line and reduces errors.
- Errors are usually identified in the automotive environment before they occur by using the Failure mode and effects analysis, which is available as a function in HYDRA X.
