Basis for the model-driven engineering of manufacturing execution systems: Modeling elements in the domain of beer brewing

By analyzing the trend of MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems), the concept of RMES (Reconfigurable Manufacturing Execution Systems) is put forward, which takes information integration as groundwork, aims at optimization of production processes and supports organizations, resources and processes for flexible conFig.. MDA (Model-driven Architecture) is introduced to provide more flexible in the process of the development of RMES, which would adapt to different technology used by the bottom systems and provide a more effective method to build RMES. During the development of RMES, many models are created, such as the model of business analysis, the model of components and the model of deployment. An instance of the system of plan, part of RMES, is presented to show how MDA used in the process of the development of RMES. Later, an application is given to show that RMES based on MDA can decrease the costs of development and maintenance for fitting the evolution of the enterprise.

Manufacturing Execution

Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) are process-oriented information-technology (IT) solutions for collecting and managing information from manufacturing processes. Due to the individual programming effort and the complex integration with other manufacturing systems, though the food and beverage manufacturers can benefit from the MES, its implementation is not widespread in this industry. To simplify the implementation and engineering process, the concept of model-driven engineering (MDE) is considered as a solution. However, a feasible model-driven approach for MES engineering has not been established, not to mention for the food and beverage industry. This paper presents an approach for the automatic MES generation according to the MDE concept providing MES functions that are relevant to the food and beverage manufacturing processes primarily. It consists of necessary phases to cover the whole engineering process of the MES. Based on the application of the presented approach to the brewing process in a brewhouse, the feasibility and practicality of this approach were proven.

Manufacturing Execution

The intention of this paper is to give some methodical approach in Key Performance Indicators for Manufacturing. Within this it covers the defining of Key Performance Indicators (KPI) and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES). The purpose is to analyze the influences of equipment, personnel and inventory to the production process and how to apply them in making decisions. This paper gives an overview about definition of Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) and the area of standardization of object models. The KPI for the manufacturing operations management include the areas personnel, equipment, inventory and production process. It contains also a collection of key performance indicators (KPI) to be used in the area of production control and monitoring to assess and define the targets of production processes.
