Intelligent production with E-MES

In control of the production process at any time and place: ENISCO’s modular Manufacturing Execution System (E-MES) connects the factory horizontally, the entire manufacturing process, and vertically across all process levels. It offers integrated data acquisition, analysis and display, and end-to-end transparent production and logistics processes and provides the basis for mastering critical industrial challenges.

Our E-MES platform includes, on the one hand, the administrative area (see below) and, on the other hand, numerous apps that provide our customers with a high level of transparency. The following is a brief excerpt:

• Alarming: Central overview of all production-relevant values. The values are read directly from the respective sensors and displayed filterable. In case of limit and tolerance violations, which can be freely configured, warnings, fault messages, or errors are output.
  Example values: temperatures, energy consumption (gas, water, electricity, etc.), fault messages.
• Trending: Here, recorded (analog) data is displayed graphically, limit violations and the comparison with long-term data allow a thorough analysis of unwanted deviations.
• 2D-Visualization:Our 2D-Visualization is a key module in E-MES and displays the state of the plant and other valuable information in graphical form. With a click, you can easily navigate to other areas within E-MES to get more detailed information.

Our E-MES platform includes the administrative area and the basic MES functionalities. These include, e.g.:

• User administration incl. authorization concept
• Client management with customizable settings for each end device
• Shift calendar
• Diagnostic tool to be able to check the connections to the ERP, the connected databases, and the PLCs, among other things.
• Variable app for commissioning. Variables in the PLCs can be adjusted
• Task Scheduler to be able to set time-controlled events in the system, e.g., start the oven at 5 o’clock to heat up
• Journal (logbook for user and computer interventions)

Control highly automated production at the click of a mouse

Our Production Control System (PCS) takes over control in highly automated production plants where static work plans are not sufficient. This can be the case when plant layouts, material flows, or production processes change frequently, or complex repair or rework scenarios are the norms – and decisions have to be made about resource allocation at short notice accordingly.

With PCS, you configure the material flow through your plant at the click of a mouse, based on waiting times, groupings of similar products, defined selection criteria, or explicit rules.

Your Added Value:

• Enhanced Visibility: Gain complete real-time insight into your production process with multiple monitoring apps, providing information from various perspectives.
• Reduced Lead Times: Achieve faster production cycles through automated optimization of critical resource occupancy.
• Minimized Manual Intervention: Implement event-based, automated production control aligned with lean production principles to minimize the need for manual input.
• Retained Control: Maintain the ability for manual intervention when unexpected events occur in your production.
• Flexible Adaptability: Customize the system to fit any specific production process seamlessly.

The optimal quality process

It is essential to minimize scrap and rework to produce high-quality and cost-efficient goods. The first step towards an optimized first pass yield is a systematic collection of relevant quality data. Data collection should start during the production process and not only after the completion of the product.

The “Product Quality Check” (PQC) application from ENISCO enables a quality and repair process that accompanies production and can be configured to customer specifications. This allows you to flexibly make the necessary adjustments at any time in the event of changes to the product or process. Previously recorded defect images and data are made available, thus simplifying and accelerating rework and repair processes.

Correspondingly, extensive evaluation options form the basis for your continuous improvement process (CIP).

Your Added Value:

• Self-Configurable Quality Processes: Easily configure your quality processes without the need for costly software adaptations.
• Adaptable and Future-Proof: Utilize a quality tool that remains effective and adaptable, even when changes occur.
• Clear Data Recording: Ensure relevant data is accurately captured with customizable shop floor dialogs.
• Efficient Rework Processes: Increase efficiency in rework processes through the visual identification of defects and their locations.
• Comprehensive Evaluation Options: Benefit from graphical and tabular evaluation options with numerous filters, providing a solid foundation for continuous improvement.

Monitor energy consumption, identify waste, and keep costs under control

Rising energy and raw material prices present companies with a unique challenge: More important than ever is the careful and cost-efficient use of all resources. Regarding energy consumption, the most important thing is obtaining real-time transparency on energy-hungry machines and systems. This is the only way to identify and eliminate inefficient consumption.

With ENISCO’s energy monitoring, you can collect the energy data of your plants at a central location, display it graphically and evaluate it with correlation analyses. In addition, with configurable alarm rules, you always have complete control to immediately detect and eliminate excessive consumption. The result: you optimize your energy costs permanently.

Your Added Value:

• Full Transparency: Gain complete visibility of your highest-consuming plants and receive immediate alerts when limit values are exceeded.
• Proactive Analysis: Analyze potentially production-threatening situations in advance and take immediate countermeasures.
• Informed Investment Decisions: Access precise energy data to make informed decisions about replacing resource-intensive machinery and equipment.

The “Product Card App” product pass – all manufacturing data in one app

With the “Product Card App,” you have all relevant information for each manufactured product immediately available digitally. You get a quick overview of essential topics such as product quality or process analyses at any time.

Configure required data in the Product Card App quickly and easily – process steps, actual values, device alarms, attributes, etc. All pre-configured data is collected, displayed, and made available for further analysis during the production process.

In the future, you will have all the data you need from plants and machines at your fingertips with just one click on the Product Card App.

Your Added Value:

• Simple Data Configuration: Easily configure the desired manufacturing data to suit your needs.
• Centralized Data Overview: Access a central overview of key manufacturing data for each product.
• Defect Analysis: Analyze production history to identify and address product defects.
• Predictive Quality Analysis: Leverage E-MES Prognostics Big Data analysis as a foundation for predictive quality.

Everything at a glance – the patented 3D visualization from ENISCO

It is easy to lose track of everything in complex and interlinked production plants. With our patented 3D visualization, you create a digital twin of your plants, gain transparency and thus have everything in view.

• Create: Three-dimensional objects form the basis of every visualization. These can be imported into your systems from the supplied standard library or created in our object editor. The preparation of objects into scenes creates a complete visualization of your systems.
• Transparency: Production data is linked to the respective objects, and a real-time model of the movements and processes in production is created.
• Analysis: A search function allows components, carriers/skids and other objects to be found quickly and easily and displays detailed information. A replay function enables you to view processes in retrospect.

Your Added Value:

• Complete Transparency: Achieve full visibility over your entire plant, processes, and motion sequences.
• Precise Error Analysis: Utilize the replay function for detailed analysis of error situations, making causes and correlations clear.
• Efficient Error Assignment: Quickly assign errors and messages to specific plant sections or machines.
• Efficient Digital Twin Creation: Easily create a digital twin with the assistance of the editor.
