A Proposal for Production Data Collection on a Hybrid Production Line in Cooperation with MES

Abstract Due to the increasing competitive environment in the manufacturing sector, many industries have the need for a computer integrated engineering management system. The Manufacturing Execution System (MES) is a computer system designed for product manufacturing with high quality, low cost and minimum lead time. MES is a type of middleware providing the required information for the optimization of production from launching of a product order to its completion. There are many studies dealing with the advantages of the use of MES, but little research was conducted on how to implement MES effectively. A solution to this issue are KPIs. KPIs are important to many strategic philosophies or practices for improving the production process. This paper describes a proposal for analyzing manufacturing system parameters with the use of KPIs.

Manufacturing Execution

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar os resultados que a implantação de um sistema de informação do tipo MES (Manufacturing Execution System) pode trazer a empresas de manufatura. O método de pesquisa foi o estudo de caso múltiplo. Foram estudadas duas empresas de médio porte (X e Y), com características diferentes de produto e processo, com implantações do MES, durando sete e dez anos. Os resultados apontam que entre 2011 a 2014 ocorreu melhora nas prioridades competitivas custo e entrega para a empresa X e qualidade, custo e entrega para a empresa Y. Os principais resultados observados e que podem ser atribuídos às implantações do MES são: em X, aumento no tempo de máquina operando em 32%, redução do lead time em 47,6% e custos de fabricação em 9,7%; em Y, redução dos rejeitos em 52,6%, custos de fabricação em 8,7% e no lead time em 20%.

Manufacturing Execution

The use of grid manufacturing system, has become the trend of modern manufacturing technology. With reference to the idea of component design for workshop production business, a workflow and multi-agent based Grid of Reconfigurable of Manufacturing Execution System (GRMES) is presented. The configurable workshop production business can be handled, and the MES application system can correspondingly adjust with its change. The KQML is expanded to compensate for its description ability in the Workflow management system. XML is applied to support the data flow in GRMES, format the dispatched tasks and KQML, which can securely and concisely transfer different data among the workflow engines, agents and application on the GRMES. GRMES improves the problems such as adaptability and reconstructivity, which exist in the traditional MES.

Manufacturing Execution

The manufacturing execution system (MES), is now still constructed with relatively dedicated framework. Such lag in the development of MES has inevitably caused some problems. A salient one is the lack of adaptability to effectively cope with the diversity of manufacturing processes. This paper aims to provide some resolutions to this problem. After analyzing the adaptability requirements of A-MES in detail, some key techniques are researched including data integrated adapter, developing configurable factory model, reusable business component and data based script driven mechanism. Thereafter, a new kind of adaptable MES framework named A-MES is presented. A-MES is capable of accommodating changes in internal and external manufacturing system with little programming work.

The tool management is an important part in FMS (the flexible manufacturing system), especially for single or small batch processing operation plan. The scientific rationality of the tool management determines the manufacturing system reliability and production efficiency. To establish a set of tool management system based on Web, make the tool entity information of manufacturing execution system to be digitized, and realize the information sharing in the different processing unit or between enterprise alliances through the Internet, will greatly improve the production efficiency and reduce the production cost.

Manufacturing Execution

A device is proposed, which can be used to upgrade the informatization process of old equipment and information isolated island equipment of ceramic enterprises. It has the characteristics of standard, high efficiency, low cost and low risk. The universal fast interface does not interfere with the control system of the device itself when connected to the device. It can obtain data that the target device system has but is not open or the system does not have. Then, the device use the standard industrial communication protocol to transmit the data to the manufacturing execution system in accordance with the agreed data format. This method lay a good foundation for the informatization upgrade and optimization of the data. Furthermore it can be used to optimize and control production. Finally, in enterprise applications, it shows that the device has certain economic and social benefits.

Manufacturing Execution

This paper discussed an integrating manufacturing execution system in pressure vessel industry. MES optimizations (MESO) is a reliability growth process which is applicable to manufacturing firms to unify the supply chain plan, the service and the production automation, transferring the company's service goal to the definite operation goal and realizing the multi-varieties, multi-batch, high quality and low-cost of the production demand. This system is a complex operating system which is composed of certain subsystems, and it could complete the specified function. Basing on the MES functional module, this paper has investigated on the enterprise productive plan and scheduling module to realise the reliability growth and product quality improvement as well as some key technical strategies. Combined with the quantitative evaluation and analysis method of the reliability engineering, the paper also made an analysis for the numerous resources entity and functional module of the overall system and formed a research subject on the theory relative to the reliability growth of the MES. The research on the case has a certain instruction function for the enterprise which is going to put the MES into effect.
