Production Management
Real-Time Data Collection for Optimized Production Management
In today’s fast-paced world, access to real-time production data is required in order to provide a full picture of your lifecycle data, and manage production processes. Real-time operational data collection is critical to measuring performance-to-plan. It also plays an important role in producing valid cost estimates for new product development, and justifying the risks associated with nonconforming product. This can only be accomplished with an product lifecycle management (PLM) strategy.
Siemens’ Production Management solution provides visibility to as-designed, as-planned, as-built and as-maintained information. It extends the PLM footprint to the manufacturing shop floor. This allows for accelerated product launches, continuous process improvement, regulatory compliance and increased operational efficiency. All of a product's lifecycle data becomes an integrated base of knowledge that drives innovative and profitable products to market.
Key Capabilities and Benefits
Siemens’ Production Management solution components work together through your life cycle processes and incorporate world-class capabilities in two main areas:
Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) - A model-based system that monitors work-in-process, controls operations and labor, and feeds production information to business systems and life cycle repositories.
- Integrate multiple systems within each factory
- Standardize production across the entire enterprise
- Align manufacturing processes across the supply chain
Human Machine Interface (HMI) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) - Collect real-time information from your plant – such as equipment status – and feed that information to upstream systems including MES.
- Configurable applications tailored to specific requirements
- Real time human-machine interfaces
- System support for diverse industries
