Description of the planning and control activities of manufacturing companies has become synonymous with the use of terms such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRP) and Production Planning amp Control (PPC) ERP and MRP systems only cover the resource planning aspect of production processes however providing no coverage of production control Despite the fact that PPC systems inherently involve the term control the control functions provided by existing software products are very limited Basic planning systems only touch the tip of the iceberg in terms of actual production processes All of these soft-ware products have one thing in common The planning they provide is a far cry from the events of the actual production processes In most companies there is still a divide between the administrative world and the world of machinery Closing this gap should therefore be the

INTRODUCINGPRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

Many production companies have set themselves a goal of avoiding wastage The exact source of this wastage in production halls however often belies a vague assumption Cost-saving and process optimization rely on in-depth knowledge of the production process in order to lead to a sustainable in-crease in competitiveness MESMOM systems help achieve a continuous improvement of the production process closing the information gap between ERPPPC systems and the shop floor level

Further arguments for the use of MESMOM software solutions can be iden-tified as follows In addition to achieving a long-term improvement of classic target values such as cycle times productivity and utilization the software is also able to harness planning quality potentials The MESMOM software is able to provide the user with the data in real-time enabling prompt reaction and rapid flexible intervention in the production process as required Further-more fully-integrated MES improve process reliability reducing interface loss and avoiding the costly operation of a string of stand-alone solutions A num-ber of companies attempt to map their production processes using ERPPPC systems While these efforts fail for a number of reasons this is ultimately due to the complex nature of the majority of production processes This complexity leaves many ERPPPC systems unable to visualize the relevant production processes The systems are seldom able to monitor utilization leading to cost-intensive attempts to obtain the required information

IBS AG offers a cross-sector product suite for the MESMOM segment To IBS MESMOM embodies more than just the planning and control maximum utilization of machine capacities and resources and the control of variants It also involves a reduction in inventories a lowering of rework costs optimiza-tion of the product development integration and Product-in-Use processes reject minimization and last but not least the complete traceability of prod-ucts components and batches

INTRODUCING PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

The development of further cost-saving potentials in the field of production management is being progressively directed towards autonomous control loops and a vertically and horizontally integrated IT system environment The increasing interlocking of shop floor MES and ERP-level systems with machinery and process control within the scope of Industry 40 has led to a notable increase in production process transparency The resulting optimiza-tion strategies for machine utilization and process parameter monitoring at MES level and the use of autonomous processing centres - Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS) - unleash up to a 30 increase in added value

Efficient MES solutions are a basic prerequisite for the cost-efficient dynamic interaction of logistics and process chains The appeal of such systems lies in the relatively easily-achieved harmonization of shop floor and facility manage-ment at MES level which enables the simple bidirectional consolidation and real-time analysis of shop floor level data and managed by the superordinate ERP system (co-ordination level) at the MES level

MESMOM development is heading towards modular standard systems which within the scope of a short implementation phase can be optimally ex-panded to suit a wide range of operating conditions and increasing customer requirements using parametrization or simple modification There is no need for time-consuming reprogramming the system is quickly expandable and flexible in terms of use

IBS products are already Production 2020-compatible and constitute a key component of Industry 40 They are available for all sizes of company and all types of industry and can be implemented on a cross-site basis enabling them to meet the requirements of global operators

The MES solution maps and safeguards global supply chains The automatic acquisition of all production process data ensures the straightforward prepa-ration of data for reports and other analyses Powerful analysis tools enable a clear increase in production line productivity and the efficient utilization thereof enabling more efficient use of the existing IT environment and plant machinery

Fine Planning Main Control

PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

Benefits

The optimization of deadline adherence requires im-proved fine planning and transparency of current product events Reliable fine planning relies upon the systems used having a close proximity to the production ERP systems with their limited flexibility are unable to fulfil this criteria A powerful interfacing level and a Manufac-turing Execution System (MES) are thus requiredThe orders production orders or operations transmitted from the leading ERP system for fine planning are sched-uled in the production process either manually semi-au-tomatically or automatically within a time frame of a number of days to a few weeks or even months At the same time the defined planning rules and availability of resources and capacities are checked Production orders or operations that cannot be planned without conflict re-main in the work list The planner is notified of the conflict in order to find a solution The main control feature also assists the planner in finding the solution The planning process is carried out under consideration of the currently available production capacities and resources as well as delivery dates The Main Control module plans produc-tion processes optimising machining sequences for the achievement of short cycle times The freely user-defin-able planning rules can be applied to achieve optimiza-tions in many of the production areas The reduction of set-up times and associated set-up costs are shown here as an example along with the optimization of machine and resource utilization

Operational Data Acquisition (ODA)

Reliable planning principles are essential to achieving effective and efficient production management A key role is also played by the actual operating and machine deployment data and the rapid feedback of this inform to the MES

IBS operational data acquisition module is a powerful standard software tool that can be individually adapted to meet company-specific framework conditions It offers a wide variety of solution possibilities for the management of various tasks in the production area based on the latest data from the areas of production planning pro-duction control and order processing The recording of running times batch and serial numbers process param-eters personnel and production figures (OKNOKrework and reject) and machine downtimes along with the re-spective reasons (eg tooling set-up machine error) form the basis for order tracking If a PPC system is present a bidirectional exchange of data takes place between the PPC system and the ODA (Operational Data Acqui-sition) module A specially developed operator menu offers simplified function button operation for optimized ergonomics especially where touch-screens are in use The operator is also able to view the instructions on the production steps and associated documents at any time

When used in conjunction with further modules from the IBS product range the tool also ensures the complete traceability of products components materials and auxil-lary materials on a batch and serial-number basis

Traceability has the task of establishing and maintaining transparency throughout the production process and the further deployment of manufactured products Informa-tion on the components used and the materials of which these comprise is required from both the supplier and the companys own production department This information is then supplemented by the employee

Information on the batch used is also required along with the products used and their serial numbers the current production data and parameters any problems arising during the production process any rework carried out and any other events relevant to the product This data must be accessible on a historicized basis to ensure transparency of the respective components and end product at all times

The IBS MES solution supports the ideal workflow If a problem is reported by a customer or supplier or arises from an internal production step the cause of the problem and the process in question are identified with the help of the traceability system

IBSprisma and CAQ=QSYS provide online production process data on the process and quality status for anal-ysis purposes The problem removal is then carried out from a top-down basis in accordance with the results The traceability tool is then used to determine which other products were manufactured in accordance with the defective process conditions during the period in question (based on either batch or serial number) which custom-ers have already received defective products which con-signments were affected and in which containers these consignments were delivered (bottom-up)

This fulfils all required criteria for the launch of a targeted recall campaign It is also possible to identify products which have not yet been delivered at the touch of a button

Traceability software helps ascertain which parts were assembled in which products at what time and at which location as well

as providing information on the production conditions (in-house or external) and delivery destination

Process SupportOnce integrated with the respective ERP system the IBS MES solution is alerted to the incoming goods entry This entry leads to the automatic creation of an inspection order to enable data acquisition in the incoming goods area A unique label can then be applied to each pack using IBStraceability The following pack information inter alia is directly recorded prior to label printing

Quantity Shelf life Date code

In some cases the information applied to the pack by the supplier may be in the form of a PDF417 code The advantage of this type of identification is that it enables the capture of several types of information with a single scan Storage of the delivered materials is usually man-aged by existing warehouse management systems on the customers premises A further possibility would be the use of IBStraceability which would enable the marriage of a warehouse slotarea ID with the previously generated pack ID

Paperless Repair with CDA (Component - Defect Acquisition - Repair Processing)Defects detected during the visual inspection (automatic or manual) are entered into the repair loop Following input of the defective assembly (by scanning in the serial number) in the CDA module the user is shown a graph-ical view enabling the repair to be carried out faster and with greater precision

Input defective components can be visualized by clicking on the parts list (BOM) in the CAD drawing and vice ver-sa Saving the defects input here automatically generates a complaint in the Quality Management module for Con-cern and Complaint Management The module is also able to carry out comprehensive evaluations

ICT and Function TestersThe In-Circuit Test (ICT) is a test procedure carried out for electronic devices and mounted circuit boards in the electronics industry After being placed on or in a special inspection adapter the mounted circuit board is then checked for conductor track (such as short-circuiting or breaks) soldering and component defects Complete circuit blocks (clusters) can also be tested

The function test (FCT also known as the functional test) is used to inspect or check a product or system in terms of its functional requirements The test assesses not only the nominal behavior but also possible malfunc-tions within the scope of a cross-check Assemblies and devices subject to FCT tests are often inspected using specially manufactured test equipmentBoth systems pro-vide test results for third party systems This data is read in and saved for the circuit board The repair of defective circuit boardsassemblies is carried out using CDA The user is shown the test results files to assist with the repair process

The reporting function integrated in the IBS solutions is based on the required standards It serves as a helpful and efficient analysis and control function for business processes in all departments of the company

IBS solutions offer the user pre-defined reports These can be used without adaptation or modified to meet the needs of the company to a certain extent

In addition to the reports included in the IBS suite the user may also opt to use the Personal Reports function for the creation of flexible individual reports From the context of the individual applications information can be transferred to the templates (already created by the user) (for example MS Office templates in Excel or Word) and used for the desired report The user also has the option to expand upon this information by adding information contained in the database

Cockpit BI is a freely-definable cross-MES analysis and reporting tool

The use of Qlikview enables the more comprehensive analysis of data captured by the IBS system since targeted KPI analysis and the linkage of various forms of informa-tion from the shop floor level offer a great deal of valuable optimization and analysis potential for product life cycle management as a whole and in almost all functional areas of the company This unleashes a much wider range of possibilities for transparent data analysis by the user and improved visualization Furthermore this data may also been combined with supplementary data from other sourc-es to provide an overall analysis

The option enabling the definition of freely configurable fil-ter criteria and the application thereof for reporting purpos-es has now been expanded to include in the form of printed data lists or output as business graphs The captured data can then be grouped as required eg for greater efficiency in the determination of main defects and conspicuities

The list or graph is either printed directly or be transmitted to MS Office products Crystal or Cognos applications The user can also define drill-downs for the individual lists enabling the call-in of the necessary data on a context-rele-vant or analysis-specific basis

MES develop maximum potential when a large num-ber of measurements are included in the calculation of performance indicators and analyses when these are subject to automatic analysis when the results are clearly visualized and when the need for action is intuitively recognisable

IntegrationIBS software associates maximum importance to the simplest possible integration of identification and process measurement systems such as scanners hand-held devices or cameras and mobile data acquisition devices including PDAs It is already able to meet the emerging

ACQUISITION AND VISUALIZATION

requirements of Industry 40 All assemblies whether supply parts or subject to further processing require consistent and reliable acquisition and identification eg from the top of the supply chain in incoming goods to the end of the value added chain in outgoing goods This is the only way to ensure the efficient production control with legally reliable traceability and optimum capacity utilizationIBS software reliably overcomes this logisti-cal challenge with the linkage of standard solutions for barcode data matrix or RFID identification Standard interfaces enable the rapid and flexible integration of fur-ther mobile end devices and industrial camerasThe IBS software is well-equipped for acquisition and analysis

Description of the planning and control activities of manufacturing companies has become synonymous with the use of terms such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRP) and Production Planning amp Control (PPC) ERP and MRP systems only cover the resource planning aspect of production processes however providing no coverage of production control Despite the fact that PPC systems inherently involve the term control the control functions provided by existing software products are very limited Basic planning systems only touch the tip of the iceberg in terms of actual production processes All of these soft-ware products have one thing in common The planning they provide is a far cry from the events of the actual production processes In most companies there is still a divide between the administrative world and the world of machinery Closing this gap should therefore be the

INTRODUCINGPRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

Many production companies have set themselves a goal of avoiding wastage The exact source of this wastage in production halls however often belies a vague assumption Cost-saving and process optimization rely on in-depth knowledge of the production process in order to lead to a sustainable in-crease in competitiveness MESMOM systems help achieve a continuous improvement of the production process closing the information gap between ERPPPC systems and the shop floor level

Further arguments for the use of MESMOM software solutions can be iden-tified as follows In addition to achieving a long-term improvement of classic target values such as cycle times productivity and utilization the software is also able to harness planning quality potentials The MESMOM software is able to provide the user with the data in real-time enabling prompt reaction and rapid flexible intervention in the production process as required Further-more fully-integrated MES improve process reliability reducing interface loss and avoiding the costly operation of a string of stand-alone solutions A num-ber of companies attempt to map their production processes using ERPPPC systems While these efforts fail for a number of reasons this is ultimately due to the complex nature of the majority of production processes This complexity leaves many ERPPPC systems unable to visualize the relevant production processes The systems are seldom able to monitor utilization leading to cost-intensive attempts to obtain the required information

IBS AG offers a cross-sector product suite for the MESMOM segment To IBS MESMOM embodies more than just the planning and control maximum utilization of machine capacities and resources and the control of variants It also involves a reduction in inventories a lowering of rework costs optimiza-tion of the product development integration and Product-in-Use processes reject minimization and last but not least the complete traceability of prod-ucts components and batches

INTRODUCING PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

The development of further cost-saving potentials in the field of production management is being progressively directed towards autonomous control loops and a vertically and horizontally integrated IT system environment The increasing interlocking of shop floor MES and ERP-level systems with machinery and process control within the scope of Industry 40 has led to a notable increase in production process transparency The resulting optimiza-tion strategies for machine utilization and process parameter monitoring at MES level and the use of autonomous processing centres - Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS) - unleash up to a 30 increase in added value

Efficient MES solutions are a basic prerequisite for the cost-efficient dynamic interaction of logistics and process chains The appeal of such systems lies in the relatively easily-achieved harmonization of shop floor and facility manage-ment at MES level which enables the simple bidirectional consolidation and real-time analysis of shop floor level data and managed by the superordinate ERP system (co-ordination level) at the MES level

MESMOM development is heading towards modular standard systems which within the scope of a short implementation phase can be optimally ex-panded to suit a wide range of operating conditions and increasing customer requirements using parametrization or simple modification There is no need for time-consuming reprogramming the system is quickly expandable and flexible in terms of use

IBS products are already Production 2020-compatible and constitute a key component of Industry 40 They are available for all sizes of company and all types of industry and can be implemented on a cross-site basis enabling them to meet the requirements of global operators

The MES solution maps and safeguards global supply chains The automatic acquisition of all production process data ensures the straightforward prepa-ration of data for reports and other analyses Powerful analysis tools enable a clear increase in production line productivity and the efficient utilization thereof enabling more efficient use of the existing IT environment and plant machinery

Fine Planning Main Control

PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

Benefits

The optimization of deadline adherence requires im-proved fine planning and transparency of current product events Reliable fine planning relies upon the systems used having a close proximity to the production ERP systems with their limited flexibility are unable to fulfil this criteria A powerful interfacing level and a Manufac-turing Execution System (MES) are thus requiredThe orders production orders or operations transmitted from the leading ERP system for fine planning are sched-uled in the production process either manually semi-au-tomatically or automatically within a time frame of a number of days to a few weeks or even months At the same time the defined planning rules and availability of resources and capacities are checked Production orders or operations that cannot be planned without conflict re-main in the work list The planner is notified of the conflict in order to find a solution The main control feature also assists the planner in finding the solution The planning process is carried out under consideration of the currently available production capacities and resources as well as delivery dates The Main Control module plans produc-tion processes optimising machining sequences for the achievement of short cycle times The freely user-defin-able planning rules can be applied to achieve optimiza-tions in many of the production areas The reduction of set-up times and associated set-up costs are shown here as an example along with the optimization of machine and resource utilization

Traceability has the task of establishing and maintaining transparency throughout the production process and the further deployment of manufactured products Informa-tion on the components used and the materials of which these comprise is required from both the supplier and the companys own production department This information is then supplemented by the employee

Information on the batch used is also required along with the products used and their serial numbers the current production data and parameters any problems arising during the production process any rework carried out and any other events relevant to the product This data must be accessible on a historicized basis to ensure transparency of the respective components and end product at all times

The IBS MES solution supports the ideal workflow If a problem is reported by a customer or supplier or arises from an internal production step the cause of the problem and the process in question are identified with the help of the traceability system

IBSprisma and CAQ=QSYS provide online production process data on the process and quality status for anal-ysis purposes The problem removal is then carried out from a top-down basis in accordance with the results The traceability tool is then used to determine which other products were manufactured in accordance with the defective process conditions during the period in question (based on either batch or serial number) which custom-ers have already received defective products which con-signments were affected and in which containers these consignments were delivered (bottom-up)

This fulfils all required criteria for the launch of a targeted recall campaign It is also possible to identify products which have not yet been delivered at the touch of a button

Traceability software helps ascertain which parts were assembled in which products at what time and at which location as well

as providing information on the production conditions (in-house or external) and delivery destination

Process SupportOnce integrated with the respective ERP system the IBS MES solution is alerted to the incoming goods entry This entry leads to the automatic creation of an inspection order to enable data acquisition in the incoming goods area A unique label can then be applied to each pack using IBStraceability The following pack information inter alia is directly recorded prior to label printing

Quantity Shelf life Date code

In some cases the information applied to the pack by the supplier may be in the form of a PDF417 code The advantage of this type of identification is that it enables the capture of several types of information with a single scan Storage of the delivered materials is usually man-aged by existing warehouse management systems on the customers premises A further possibility would be the use of IBStraceability which would enable the marriage of a warehouse slotarea ID with the previously generated pack ID

Paperless Repair with CDA (Component - Defect Acquisition - Repair Processing)Defects detected during the visual inspection (automatic or manual) are entered into the repair loop Following input of the defective assembly (by scanning in the serial number) in the CDA module the user is shown a graph-ical view enabling the repair to be carried out faster and with greater precision

Input defective components can be visualized by clicking on the parts list (BOM) in the CAD drawing and vice ver-sa Saving the defects input here automatically generates a complaint in the Quality Management module for Con-cern and Complaint Management The module is also able to carry out comprehensive evaluations

ICT and Function TestersThe In-Circuit Test (ICT) is a test procedure carried out for electronic devices and mounted circuit boards in the electronics industry After being placed on or in a special inspection adapter the mounted circuit board is then checked for conductor track (such as short-circuiting or breaks) soldering and component defects Complete circuit blocks (clusters) can also be tested

The function test (FCT also known as the functional test) is used to inspect or check a product or system in terms of its functional requirements The test assesses not only the nominal behavior but also possible malfunc-tions within the scope of a cross-check Assemblies and devices subject to FCT tests are often inspected using specially manufactured test equipmentBoth systems pro-vide test results for third party systems This data is read in and saved for the circuit board The repair of defective circuit boardsassemblies is carried out using CDA The user is shown the test results files to assist with the repair process

Description of the planning and control activities of manufacturing companies has become synonymous with the use of terms such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRP) and Production Planning amp Control (PPC) ERP and MRP systems only cover the resource planning aspect of production processes however providing no coverage of production control Despite the fact that PPC systems inherently involve the term control the control functions provided by existing software products are very limited Basic planning systems only touch the tip of the iceberg in terms of actual production processes All of these soft-ware products have one thing in common The planning they provide is a far cry from the events of the actual production processes In most companies there is still a divide between the administrative world and the world of machinery Closing this gap should therefore be the

INTRODUCINGPRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

Many production companies have set themselves a goal of avoiding wastage The exact source of this wastage in production halls however often belies a vague assumption Cost-saving and process optimization rely on in-depth knowledge of the production process in order to lead to a sustainable in-crease in competitiveness MESMOM systems help achieve a continuous improvement of the production process closing the information gap between ERPPPC systems and the shop floor level

Further arguments for the use of MESMOM software solutions can be iden-tified as follows In addition to achieving a long-term improvement of classic target values such as cycle times productivity and utilization the software is also able to harness planning quality potentials The MESMOM software is able to provide the user with the data in real-time enabling prompt reaction and rapid flexible intervention in the production process as required Further-more fully-integrated MES improve process reliability reducing interface loss and avoiding the costly operation of a string of stand-alone solutions A num-ber of companies attempt to map their production processes using ERPPPC systems While these efforts fail for a number of reasons this is ultimately due to the complex nature of the majority of production processes This complexity leaves many ERPPPC systems unable to visualize the relevant production processes The systems are seldom able to monitor utilization leading to cost-intensive attempts to obtain the required information

IBS AG offers a cross-sector product suite for the MESMOM segment To IBS MESMOM embodies more than just the planning and control maximum utilization of machine capacities and resources and the control of variants It also involves a reduction in inventories a lowering of rework costs optimiza-tion of the product development integration and Product-in-Use processes reject minimization and last but not least the complete traceability of prod-ucts components and batches

INTRODUCING PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

The development of further cost-saving potentials in the field of production management is being progressively directed towards autonomous control loops and a vertically and horizontally integrated IT system environment The increasing interlocking of shop floor MES and ERP-level systems with machinery and process control within the scope of Industry 40 has led to a notable increase in production process transparency The resulting optimiza-tion strategies for machine utilization and process parameter monitoring at MES level and the use of autonomous processing centres - Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS) - unleash up to a 30 increase in added value

Efficient MES solutions are a basic prerequisite for the cost-efficient dynamic interaction of logistics and process chains The appeal of such systems lies in the relatively easily-achieved harmonization of shop floor and facility manage-ment at MES level which enables the simple bidirectional consolidation and real-time analysis of shop floor level data and managed by the superordinate ERP system (co-ordination level) at the MES level

MESMOM development is heading towards modular standard systems which within the scope of a short implementation phase can be optimally ex-panded to suit a wide range of operating conditions and increasing customer requirements using parametrization or simple modification There is no need for time-consuming reprogramming the system is quickly expandable and flexible in terms of use

IBS products are already Production 2020-compatible and constitute a key component of Industry 40 They are available for all sizes of company and all types of industry and can be implemented on a cross-site basis enabling them to meet the requirements of global operators

The MES solution maps and safeguards global supply chains The automatic acquisition of all production process data ensures the straightforward prepa-ration of data for reports and other analyses Powerful analysis tools enable a clear increase in production line productivity and the efficient utilization thereof enabling more efficient use of the existing IT environment and plant machinery

Fine Planning Main Control

PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

Benefits

The optimization of deadline adherence requires im-proved fine planning and transparency of current product events Reliable fine planning relies upon the systems used having a close proximity to the production ERP systems with their limited flexibility are unable to fulfil this criteria A powerful interfacing level and a Manufac-turing Execution System (MES) are thus requiredThe orders production orders or operations transmitted from the leading ERP system for fine planning are sched-uled in the production process either manually semi-au-tomatically or automatically within a time frame of a number of days to a few weeks or even months At the same time the defined planning rules and availability of resources and capacities are checked Production orders or operations that cannot be planned without conflict re-main in the work list The planner is notified of the conflict in order to find a solution The main control feature also assists the planner in finding the solution The planning process is carried out under consideration of the currently available production capacities and resources as well as delivery dates The Main Control module plans produc-tion processes optimising machining sequences for the achievement of short cycle times The freely user-defin-able planning rules can be applied to achieve optimiza-tions in many of the production areas The reduction of set-up times and associated set-up costs are shown here as an example along with the optimization of machine and resource utilization

Operational Data Acquisition (ODA)

Reliable planning principles are essential to achieving effective and efficient production management A key role is also played by the actual operating and machine deployment data and the rapid feedback of this inform to the MES

IBS operational data acquisition module is a powerful standard software tool that can be individually adapted to meet company-specific framework conditions It offers a wide variety of solution possibilities for the management of various tasks in the production area based on the latest data from the areas of production planning pro-duction control and order processing The recording of running times batch and serial numbers process param-eters personnel and production figures (OKNOKrework and reject) and machine downtimes along with the re-spective reasons (eg tooling set-up machine error) form the basis for order tracking If a PPC system is present a bidirectional exchange of data takes place between the PPC system and the ODA (Operational Data Acqui-sition) module A specially developed operator menu offers simplified function button operation for optimized ergonomics especially where touch-screens are in use The operator is also able to view the instructions on the production steps and associated documents at any time

When used in conjunction with further modules from the IBS product range the tool also ensures the complete traceability of products components materials and auxil-lary materials on a batch and serial-number basis

Traceability has the task of establishing and maintaining transparency throughout the production process and the further deployment of manufactured products Informa-tion on the components used and the materials of which these comprise is required from both the supplier and the companys own production department This information is then supplemented by the employee

Information on the batch used is also required along with the products used and their serial numbers the current production data and parameters any problems arising during the production process any rework carried out and any other events relevant to the product This data must be accessible on a historicized basis to ensure transparency of the respective components and end product at all times

The IBS MES solution supports the ideal workflow If a problem is reported by a customer or supplier or arises from an internal production step the cause of the problem and the process in question are identified with the help of the traceability system

IBSprisma and CAQ=QSYS provide online production process data on the process and quality status for anal-ysis purposes The problem removal is then carried out from a top-down basis in accordance with the results The traceability tool is then used to determine which other products were manufactured in accordance with the defective process conditions during the period in question (based on either batch or serial number) which custom-ers have already received defective products which con-signments were affected and in which containers these consignments were delivered (bottom-up)

This fulfils all required criteria for the launch of a targeted recall campaign It is also possible to identify products which have not yet been delivered at the touch of a button

Traceability software helps ascertain which parts were assembled in which products at what time and at which location as well

as providing information on the production conditions (in-house or external) and delivery destination

Quantity Shelf life Date code

In some cases the information applied to the pack by the supplier may be in the form of a PDF417 code The advantage of this type of identification is that it enables the capture of several types of information with a single scan Storage of the delivered materials is usually man-aged by existing warehouse management systems on the customers premises A further possibility would be the use of IBStraceability which would enable the marriage of a warehouse slotarea ID with the previously generated pack ID

Paperless Repair with CDA (Component - Defect Acquisition - Repair Processing)Defects detected during the visual inspection (automatic or manual) are entered into the repair loop Following input of the defective assembly (by scanning in the serial number) in the CDA module the user is shown a graph-ical view enabling the repair to be carried out faster and with greater precision

Input defective components can be visualized by clicking on the parts list (BOM) in the CAD drawing and vice ver-sa Saving the defects input here automatically generates a complaint in the Quality Management module for Con-cern and Complaint Management The module is also able to carry out comprehensive evaluations

ICT and Function TestersThe In-Circuit Test (ICT) is a test procedure carried out for electronic devices and mounted circuit boards in the electronics industry After being placed on or in a special inspection adapter the mounted circuit board is then checked for conductor track (such as short-circuiting or breaks) soldering and component defects Complete circuit blocks (clusters) can also be tested

The function test (FCT also known as the functional test) is used to inspect or check a product or system in terms of its functional requirements The test assesses not only the nominal behavior but also possible malfunc-tions within the scope of a cross-check Assemblies and devices subject to FCT tests are often inspected using specially manufactured test equipmentBoth systems pro-vide test results for third party systems This data is read in and saved for the circuit board The repair of defective circuit boardsassemblies is carried out using CDA The user is shown the test results files to assist with the repair process

Cockpit BI is a freely-definable cross-MES analysis and reporting tool

The use of Qlikview enables the more comprehensive analysis of data captured by the IBS system since targeted KPI analysis and the linkage of various forms of informa-tion from the shop floor level offer a great deal of valuable optimization and analysis potential for product life cycle management as a whole and in almost all functional areas of the company This unleashes a much wider range of possibilities for transparent data analysis by the user and improved visualization Furthermore this data may also been combined with supplementary data from other sourc-es to provide an overall analysis

The option enabling the definition of freely configurable fil-ter criteria and the application thereof for reporting purpos-es has now been expanded to include in the form of printed data lists or output as business graphs The captured data can then be grouped as required eg for greater efficiency in the determination of main defects and conspicuities

The list or graph is either printed directly or be transmitted to MS Office products Crystal or Cognos applications The user can also define drill-downs for the individual lists enabling the call-in of the necessary data on a context-rele-vant or analysis-specific basis

Description of the planning and control activities of manufacturing companies has become synonymous with the use of terms such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRP) and Production Planning amp Control (PPC) ERP and MRP systems only cover the resource planning aspect of production processes however providing no coverage of production control Despite the fact that PPC systems inherently involve the term control the control functions provided by existing software products are very limited Basic planning systems only touch the tip of the iceberg in terms of actual production processes All of these soft-ware products have one thing in common The planning they provide is a far cry from the events of the actual production processes In most companies there is still a divide between the administrative world and the world of machinery Closing this gap should therefore be the

INTRODUCINGPRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

Many production companies have set themselves a goal of avoiding wastage The exact source of this wastage in production halls however often belies a vague assumption Cost-saving and process optimization rely on in-depth knowledge of the production process in order to lead to a sustainable in-crease in competitiveness MESMOM systems help achieve a continuous improvement of the production process closing the information gap between ERPPPC systems and the shop floor level

Further arguments for the use of MESMOM software solutions can be iden-tified as follows In addition to achieving a long-term improvement of classic target values such as cycle times productivity and utilization the software is also able to harness planning quality potentials The MESMOM software is able to provide the user with the data in real-time enabling prompt reaction and rapid flexible intervention in the production process as required Further-more fully-integrated MES improve process reliability reducing interface loss and avoiding the costly operation of a string of stand-alone solutions A num-ber of companies attempt to map their production processes using ERPPPC systems While these efforts fail for a number of reasons this is ultimately due to the complex nature of the majority of production processes This complexity leaves many ERPPPC systems unable to visualize the relevant production processes The systems are seldom able to monitor utilization leading to cost-intensive attempts to obtain the required information

IBS AG offers a cross-sector product suite for the MESMOM segment To IBS MESMOM embodies more than just the planning and control maximum utilization of machine capacities and resources and the control of variants It also involves a reduction in inventories a lowering of rework costs optimiza-tion of the product development integration and Product-in-Use processes reject minimization and last but not least the complete traceability of prod-ucts components and batches

INTRODUCING PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

The development of further cost-saving potentials in the field of production management is being progressively directed towards autonomous control loops and a vertically and horizontally integrated IT system environment The increasing interlocking of shop floor MES and ERP-level systems with machinery and process control within the scope of Industry 40 has led to a notable increase in production process transparency The resulting optimiza-tion strategies for machine utilization and process parameter monitoring at MES level and the use of autonomous processing centres - Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS) - unleash up to a 30 increase in added value

Efficient MES solutions are a basic prerequisite for the cost-efficient dynamic interaction of logistics and process chains The appeal of such systems lies in the relatively easily-achieved harmonization of shop floor and facility manage-ment at MES level which enables the simple bidirectional consolidation and real-time analysis of shop floor level data and managed by the superordinate ERP system (co-ordination level) at the MES level

MESMOM development is heading towards modular standard systems which within the scope of a short implementation phase can be optimally ex-panded to suit a wide range of operating conditions and increasing customer requirements using parametrization or simple modification There is no need for time-consuming reprogramming the system is quickly expandable and flexible in terms of use

IBS products are already Production 2020-compatible and constitute a key component of Industry 40 They are available for all sizes of company and all types of industry and can be implemented on a cross-site basis enabling them to meet the requirements of global operators

The MES solution maps and safeguards global supply chains The automatic acquisition of all production process data ensures the straightforward prepa-ration of data for reports and other analyses Powerful analysis tools enable a clear increase in production line productivity and the efficient utilization thereof enabling more efficient use of the existing IT environment and plant machinery

Benefits

The optimization of deadline adherence requires im-proved fine planning and transparency of current product events Reliable fine planning relies upon the systems used having a close proximity to the production ERP systems with their limited flexibility are unable to fulfil this criteria A powerful interfacing level and a Manufac-turing Execution System (MES) are thus requiredThe orders production orders or operations transmitted from the leading ERP system for fine planning are sched-uled in the production process either manually semi-au-tomatically or automatically within a time frame of a number of days to a few weeks or even months At the same time the defined planning rules and availability of resources and capacities are checked Production orders or operations that cannot be planned without conflict re-main in the work list The planner is notified of the conflict in order to find a solution The main control feature also assists the planner in finding the solution The planning process is carried out under consideration of the currently available production capacities and resources as well as delivery dates The Main Control module plans produc-tion processes optimising machining sequences for the achievement of short cycle times The freely user-defin-able planning rules can be applied to achieve optimiza-tions in many of the production areas The reduction of set-up times and associated set-up costs are shown here as an example along with the optimization of machine and resource utilization

Traceability has the task of establishing and maintaining transparency throughout the production process and the further deployment of manufactured products Informa-tion on the components used and the materials of which these comprise is required from both the supplier and the companys own production department This information is then supplemented by the employee

Information on the batch used is also required along with the products used and their serial numbers the current production data and parameters any problems arising during the production process any rework carried out and any other events relevant to the product This data must be accessible on a historicized basis to ensure transparency of the respective components and end product at all times

The IBS MES solution supports the ideal workflow If a problem is reported by a customer or supplier or arises from an internal production step the cause of the problem and the process in question are identified with the help of the traceability system

IBSprisma and CAQ=QSYS provide online production process data on the process and quality status for anal-ysis purposes The problem removal is then carried out from a top-down basis in accordance with the results The traceability tool is then used to determine which other products were manufactured in accordance with the defective process conditions during the period in question (based on either batch or serial number) which custom-ers have already received defective products which con-signments were affected and in which containers these consignments were delivered (bottom-up)

This fulfils all required criteria for the launch of a targeted recall campaign It is also possible to identify products which have not yet been delivered at the touch of a button

Traceability software helps ascertain which parts were assembled in which products at what time and at which location as well

as providing information on the production conditions (in-house or external) and delivery destination

Process SupportOnce integrated with the respective ERP system the IBS MES solution is alerted to the incoming goods entry This entry leads to the automatic creation of an inspection order to enable data acquisition in the incoming goods area A unique label can then be applied to each pack using IBStraceability The following pack information inter alia is directly recorded prior to label printing

Quantity Shelf life Date code

In some cases the information applied to the pack by the supplier may be in the form of a PDF417 code The advantage of this type of identification is that it enables the capture of several types of information with a single scan Storage of the delivered materials is usually man-aged by existing warehouse management systems on the customers premises A further possibility would be the use of IBStraceability which would enable the marriage of a warehouse slotarea ID with the previously generated pack ID

Paperless Repair with CDA (Component - Defect Acquisition - Repair Processing)Defects detected during the visual inspection (automatic or manual) are entered into the repair loop Following input of the defective assembly (by scanning in the serial number) in the CDA module the user is shown a graph-ical view enabling the repair to be carried out faster and with greater precision

Input defective components can be visualized by clicking on the parts list (BOM) in the CAD drawing and vice ver-sa Saving the defects input here automatically generates a complaint in the Quality Management module for Con-cern and Complaint Management The module is also able to carry out comprehensive evaluations

ICT and Function TestersThe In-Circuit Test (ICT) is a test procedure carried out for electronic devices and mounted circuit boards in the electronics industry After being placed on or in a special inspection adapter the mounted circuit board is then checked for conductor track (such as short-circuiting or breaks) soldering and component defects Complete circuit blocks (clusters) can also be tested

The function test (FCT also known as the functional test) is used to inspect or check a product or system in terms of its functional requirements The test assesses not only the nominal behavior but also possible malfunc-tions within the scope of a cross-check Assemblies and devices subject to FCT tests are often inspected using specially manufactured test equipmentBoth systems pro-vide test results for third party systems This data is read in and saved for the circuit board The repair of defective circuit boardsassemblies is carried out using CDA The user is shown the test results files to assist with the repair process

A large number of production com-panies are aware of the wastage that occurs or is generated in their pro-duction facilities The exact source of this wastage however often belies a vague assumption Cost-saving and the sustainable improvement of competitiveness rely on the knowl-edge of all information relevant to the production process The IBS system supports a continuous improvement of the production process To IBS a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) embodies more than just the planning and control but the full use of machine capacities and resources and the control of variants It also

involves a reduction in inventories a lowering of rework costs optimi-zation of the product development integration and Product-in-Use processes reject minimization and last but not least the complete and legally reliable traceability of pro-ducts components and batches IBS solutions also close the information gap between ERPPPC systems and the shop floor level Potential bene-fits of the software use include short-er production times improved quality and lower costs Machine and plant transparency enables faster reac-tions and supports decision-making MESA (the Manufacturing Execution

Systems Association) estimates the use of MES software to help compa-nies achieve a 56 per cent reduction in cycle times Furthermore half of all quality costs which account for 5 to 8 per cent of corporate turnover can be attributed to sub-optimal qual-ity control poor quality management and lacking prevention measures (Source McKinsey 122009)

INTRODUCINGPRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

Many production companies have set themselves a goal of avoiding wastage The exact source of this wastage in production halls however often belies a vague assumption Cost-saving and process optimization rely on in-depth knowledge of the production process in order to lead to a sustainable in-crease in competitiveness MESMOM systems help achieve a continuous improvement of the production process closing the information gap between ERPPPC systems and the shop floor level

Further arguments for the use of MESMOM software solutions can be iden-tified as follows In addition to achieving a long-term improvement of classic target values such as cycle times productivity and utilization the software is also able to harness planning quality potentials The MESMOM software is able to provide the user with the data in real-time enabling prompt reaction and rapid flexible intervention in the production process as required Further-more fully-integrated MES improve process reliability reducing interface loss and avoiding the costly operation of a string of stand-alone solutions A num-ber of companies attempt to map their production processes using ERPPPC systems While these efforts fail for a number of reasons this is ultimately due to the complex nature of the majority of production processes This complexity leaves many ERPPPC systems unable to visualize the relevant production processes The systems are seldom able to monitor utilization leading to cost-intensive attempts to obtain the required information

IBS AG offers a cross-sector product suite for the MESMOM segment To IBS MESMOM embodies more than just the planning and control maximum utilization of machine capacities and resources and the control of variants It also involves a reduction in inventories a lowering of rework costs optimiza-tion of the product development integration and Product-in-Use processes reject minimization and last but not least the complete traceability of prod-ucts components and batches

INTRODUCING PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

The development of further cost-saving potentials in the field of production management is being progressively directed towards autonomous control loops and a vertically and horizontally integrated IT system environment The increasing interlocking of shop floor MES and ERP-level systems with machinery and process control within the scope of Industry 40 has led to a notable increase in production process transparency The resulting optimiza-tion strategies for machine utilization and process parameter monitoring at MES level and the use of autonomous processing centres - Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS) - unleash up to a 30 increase in added value

Efficient MES solutions are a basic prerequisite for the cost-efficient dynamic interaction of logistics and process chains The appeal of such systems lies in the relatively easily-achieved harmonization of shop floor and facility manage-ment at MES level which enables the simple bidirectional consolidation and real-time analysis of shop floor level data and managed by the superordinate ERP system (co-ordination level) at the MES level

MESMOM development is heading towards modular standard systems which within the scope of a short implementation phase can be optimally ex-panded to suit a wide range of operating conditions and increasing customer requirements using parametrization or simple modification There is no need for time-consuming reprogramming the system is quickly expandable and flexible in terms of use

IBS products are already Production 2020-compatible and constitute a key component of Industry 40 They are available for all sizes of company and all types of industry and can be implemented on a cross-site basis enabling them to meet the requirements of global operators

The MES solution maps and safeguards global supply chains The automatic acquisition of all production process data ensures the straightforward prepa-ration of data for reports and other analyses Powerful analysis tools enable a clear increase in production line productivity and the efficient utilization thereof enabling more efficient use of the existing IT environment and plant machinery

Fine Planning Main Control

PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

Benefits

The optimization of deadline adherence requires im-proved fine planning and transparency of current product events Reliable fine planning relies upon the systems used having a close proximity to the production ERP systems with their limited flexibility are unable to fulfil this criteria A powerful interfacing level and a Manufac-turing Execution System (MES) are thus requiredThe orders production orders or operations transmitted from the leading ERP system for fine planning are sched-uled in the production process either manually semi-au-tomatically or automatically within a time frame of a number of days to a few weeks or even months At the same time the defined planning rules and availability of resources and capacities are checked Production orders or operations that cannot be planned without conflict re-main in the work list The planner is notified of the conflict in order to find a solution The main control feature also assists the planner in finding the solution The planning process is carried out under consideration of the currently available production capacities and resources as well as delivery dates The Main Control module plans produc-tion processes optimising machining sequences for the achievement of short cycle times The freely user-defin-able planning rules can be applied to achieve optimiza-tions in many of the production areas The reduction of set-up times and associated set-up costs are shown here as an example along with the optimization of machine and resource utilization

Traceability has the task of establishing and maintaining transparency throughout the production process and the further deployment of manufactured products Informa-tion on the components used and the materials of which these comprise is required from both the supplier and the companys own production department This information is then supplemented by the employee

Information on the batch used is also required along with the products used and their serial numbers the current production data and parameters any problems arising during the production process any rework carried out and any other events relevant to the product This data must be accessible on a historicized basis to ensure transparency of the respective components and end product at all times

The IBS MES solution supports the ideal workflow If a problem is reported by a customer or supplier or arises from an internal production step the cause of the problem and the process in question are identified with the help of the traceability system

IBSprisma and CAQ=QSYS provide online production process data on the process and quality status for anal-ysis purposes The problem removal is then carried out from a top-down basis in accordance with the results The traceability tool is then used to determine which other products were manufactured in accordance with the defective process conditions during the period in question (based on either batch or serial number) which custom-ers have already received defective products which con-signments were affected and in which containers these consignments were delivered (bottom-up)

This fulfils all required criteria for the launch of a targeted recall campaign It is also possible to identify products which have not yet been delivered at the touch of a button

Traceability software helps ascertain which parts were assembled in which products at what time and at which location as well

as providing information on the production conditions (in-house or external) and delivery destination

Process SupportOnce integrated with the respective ERP system the IBS MES solution is alerted to the incoming goods entry This entry leads to the automatic creation of an inspection order to enable data acquisition in the incoming goods area A unique label can then be applied to each pack using IBStraceability The following pack information inter alia is directly recorded prior to label printing

Quantity Shelf life Date code

In some cases the information applied to the pack by the supplier may be in the form of a PDF417 code The advantage of this type of identification is that it enables the capture of several types of information with a single scan Storage of the delivered materials is usually man-aged by existing warehouse management systems on the customers premises A further possibility would be the use of IBStraceability which would enable the marriage of a warehouse slotarea ID with the previously generated pack ID

Paperless Repair with CDA (Component - Defect Acquisition - Repair Processing)Defects detected during the visual inspection (automatic or manual) are entered into the repair loop Following input of the defective assembly (by scanning in the serial number) in the CDA module the user is shown a graph-ical view enabling the repair to be carried out faster and with greater precision

Input defective components can be visualized by clicking on the parts list (BOM) in the CAD drawing and vice ver-sa Saving the defects input here automatically generates a complaint in the Quality Management module for Con-cern and Complaint Management The module is also able to carry out comprehensive evaluations

ICT and Function TestersThe In-Circuit Test (ICT) is a test procedure carried out for electronic devices and mounted circuit boards in the electronics industry After being placed on or in a special inspection adapter the mounted circuit board is then checked for conductor track (such as short-circuiting or breaks) soldering and component defects Complete circuit blocks (clusters) can also be tested

The function test (FCT also known as the functional test) is used to inspect or check a product or system in terms of its functional requirements The test assesses not only the nominal behavior but also possible malfunc-tions within the scope of a cross-check Assemblies and devices subject to FCT tests are often inspected using specially manufactured test equipmentBoth systems pro-vide test results for third party systems This data is read in and saved for the circuit board The repair of defective circuit boardsassemblies is carried out using CDA The user is shown the test results files to assist with the repair process

INTRODUCINGPRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

Many production companies have set themselves a goal of avoiding wastage The exact source of this wastage in production halls however often belies a vague assumption Cost-saving and process optimization rely on in-depth knowledge of the production process in order to lead to a sustainable in-crease in competitiveness MESMOM systems help achieve a continuous improvement of the production process closing the information gap between ERPPPC systems and the shop floor level

Further arguments for the use of MESMOM software solutions can be iden-tified as follows In addition to achieving a long-term improvement of classic target values such as cycle times productivity and utilization the software is also able to harness planning quality potentials The MESMOM software is able to provide the user with the data in real-time enabling prompt reaction and rapid flexible intervention in the production process as required Further-more fully-integrated MES improve process reliability reducing interface loss and avoiding the costly operation of a string of stand-alone solutions A num-ber of companies attempt to map their production processes using ERPPPC systems While these efforts fail for a number of reasons this is ultimately due to the complex nature of the majority of production processes This complexity leaves many ERPPPC systems unable to visualize the relevant production processes The systems are seldom able to monitor utilization leading to cost-intensive attempts to obtain the required information

IBS AG offers a cross-sector product suite for the MESMOM segment To IBS MESMOM embodies more than just the planning and control maximum utilization of machine capacities and resources and the control of variants It also involves a reduction in inventories a lowering of rework costs optimiza-tion of the product development integration and Product-in-Use processes reject minimization and last but not least the complete traceability of prod-ucts components and batches

INTRODUCING PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

The development of further cost-saving potentials in the field of production management is being progressively directed towards autonomous control loops and a vertically and horizontally integrated IT system environment The increasing interlocking of shop floor MES and ERP-level systems with machinery and process control within the scope of Industry 40 has led to a notable increase in production process transparency The resulting optimiza-tion strategies for machine utilization and process parameter monitoring at MES level and the use of autonomous processing centres - Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS) - unleash up to a 30 increase in added value

Efficient MES solutions are a basic prerequisite for the cost-efficient dynamic interaction of logistics and process chains The appeal of such systems lies in the relatively easily-achieved harmonization of shop floor and facility manage-ment at MES level which enables the simple bidirectional consolidation and real-time analysis of shop floor level data and managed by the superordinate ERP system (co-ordination level) at the MES level

MESMOM development is heading towards modular standard systems which within the scope of a short implementation phase can be optimally ex-panded to suit a wide range of operating conditions and increasing customer requirements using parametrization or simple modification There is no need for time-consuming reprogramming the system is quickly expandable and flexible in terms of use

IBS products are already Production 2020-compatible and constitute a key component of Industry 40 They are available for all sizes of company and all types of industry and can be implemented on a cross-site basis enabling them to meet the requirements of global operators

The MES solution maps and safeguards global supply chains The automatic acquisition of all production process data ensures the straightforward prepa-ration of data for reports and other analyses Powerful analysis tools enable a clear increase in production line productivity and the efficient utilization thereof enabling more efficient use of the existing IT environment and plant machinery

Fine Planning Main Control

PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

Benefits

The optimization of deadline adherence requires im-proved fine planning and transparency of current product events Reliable fine planning relies upon the systems used having a close proximity to the production ERP systems with their limited flexibility are unable to fulfil this criteria A powerful interfacing level and a Manufac-turing Execution System (MES) are thus requiredThe orders production orders or operations transmitted from the leading ERP system for fine planning are sched-uled in the production process either manually semi-au-tomatically or automatically within a time frame of a number of days to a few weeks or even months At the same time the defined planning rules and availability of resources and capacities are checked Production orders or operations that cannot be planned without conflict re-main in the work list The planner is notified of the conflict in order to find a solution The main control feature also assists the planner in finding the solution The planning process is carried out under consideration of the currently available production capacities and resources as well as delivery dates The Main Control module plans produc-tion processes optimising machining sequences for the achievement of short cycle times The freely user-defin-able planning rules can be applied to achieve optimiza-tions in many of the production areas The reduction of set-up times and associated set-up costs are shown here as an example along with the optimization of machine and resource utilization

Operational Data Acquisition (ODA)

Reliable planning principles are essential to achieving effective and efficient production management A key role is also played by the actual operating and machine deployment data and the rapid feedback of this inform to the MES

IBS operational data acquisition module is a powerful standard software tool that can be individually adapted to meet company-specific framework conditions It offers a wide variety of solution possibilities for the management of various tasks in the production area based on the latest data from the areas of production planning pro-duction control and order processing The recording of running times batch and serial numbers process param-eters personnel and production figures (OKNOKrework and reject) and machine downtimes along with the re-spective reasons (eg tooling set-up machine error) form the basis for order tracking If a PPC system is present a bidirectional exchange of data takes place between the PPC system and the ODA (Operational Data Acqui-sition) module A specially developed operator menu offers simplified function button operation for optimized ergonomics especially where touch-screens are in use The operator is also able to view the instructions on the production steps and associated documents at any time

When used in conjunction with further modules from the IBS product range the tool also ensures the complete traceability of products components materials and auxil-lary materials on a batch and serial-number basis

Traceability has the task of establishing and maintaining transparency throughout the production process and the further deployment of manufactured products Informa-tion on the components used and the materials of which these comprise is required from both the supplier and the companys own production department This information is then supplemented by the employee

Information on the batch used is also required along with the products used and their serial numbers the current production data and parameters any problems arising during the production process any rework carried out and any other events relevant to the product This data must be accessible on a historicized basis to ensure transparency of the respective components and end product at all times

The IBS MES solution supports the ideal workflow If a problem is reported by a customer or supplier or arises from an internal production step the cause of the problem and the process in question are identified with the help of the traceability system

IBSprisma and CAQ=QSYS provide online production process data on the process and quality status for anal-ysis purposes The problem removal is then carried out from a top-down basis in accordance with the results The traceability tool is then used to determine which other products were manufactured in accordance with the defective process conditions during the period in question (based on either batch or serial number) which custom-ers have already received defective products which con-signments were affected and in which containers these consignments were delivered (bottom-up)

This fulfils all required criteria for the launch of a targeted recall campaign It is also possible to identify products which have not yet been delivered at the touch of a button

Traceability software helps ascertain which parts were assembled in which products at what time and at which location as well

as providing information on the production conditions (in-house or external) and delivery destination

Process SupportOnce integrated with the respective ERP system the IBS MES solution is alerted to the incoming goods entry This entry leads to the automatic creation of an inspection order to enable data acquisition in the incoming goods area A unique label can then be applied to each pack using IBStraceability The following pack information inter alia is directly recorded prior to label printing

Quantity Shelf life Date code

In some cases the information applied to the pack by the supplier may be in the form of a PDF417 code The advantage of this type of identification is that it enables the capture of several types of information with a single scan Storage of the delivered materials is usually man-aged by existing warehouse management systems on the customers premises A further possibility would be the use of IBStraceability which would enable the marriage of a warehouse slotarea ID with the previously generated pack ID

Paperless Repair with CDA (Component - Defect Acquisition - Repair Processing)Defects detected during the visual inspection (automatic or manual) are entered into the repair loop Following input of the defective assembly (by scanning in the serial number) in the CDA module the user is shown a graph-ical view enabling the repair to be carried out faster and with greater precision

Input defective components can be visualized by clicking on the parts list (BOM) in the CAD drawing and vice ver-sa Saving the defects input here automatically generates a complaint in the Quality Management module for Con-cern and Complaint Management The module is also able to carry out comprehensive evaluations

ICT and Function TestersThe In-Circuit Test (ICT) is a test procedure carried out for electronic devices and mounted circuit boards in the electronics industry After being placed on or in a special inspection adapter the mounted circuit board is then checked for conductor track (such as short-circuiting or breaks) soldering and component defects Complete circuit blocks (clusters) can also be tested

The function test (FCT also known as the functional test) is used to inspect or check a product or system in terms of its functional requirements The test assesses not only the nominal behavior but also possible malfunc-tions within the scope of a cross-check Assemblies and devices subject to FCT tests are often inspected using specially manufactured test equipmentBoth systems pro-vide test results for third party systems This data is read in and saved for the circuit board The repair of defective circuit boardsassemblies is carried out using CDA The user is shown the test results files to assist with the repair process

Cockpit BI is a freely-definable cross-MES analysis and reporting tool

The use of Qlikview enables the more comprehensive analysis of data captured by the IBS system since targeted KPI analysis and the linkage of various forms of informa-tion from the shop floor level offer a great deal of valuable optimization and analysis potential for product life cycle management as a whole and in almost all functional areas of the company This unleashes a much wider range of possibilities for transparent data analysis by the user and improved visualization Furthermore this data may also been combined with supplementary data from other sourc-es to provide an overall analysis

The option enabling the definition of freely configurable fil-ter criteria and the application thereof for reporting purpos-es has now been expanded to include in the form of printed data lists or output as business graphs The captured data can then be grouped as required eg for greater efficiency in the determination of main defects and conspicuities

The list or graph is either printed directly or be transmitted to MS Office products Crystal or Cognos applications The user can also define drill-downs for the individual lists enabling the call-in of the necessary data on a context-rele-vant or analysis-specific basis

INTRODUCINGPRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

Many production companies have set themselves a goal of avoiding wastage The exact source of this wastage in production halls however often belies a vague assumption Cost-saving and process optimization rely on in-depth knowledge of the production process in order to lead to a sustainable in-crease in competitiveness MESMOM systems help achieve a continuous improvement of the production process closing the information gap between ERPPPC systems and the shop floor level

Further arguments for the use of MESMOM software solutions can be iden-tified as follows In addition to achieving a long-term improvement of classic target values such as cycle times productivity and utilization the software is also able to harness planning quality potentials The MESMOM software is able to provide the user with the data in real-time enabling prompt reaction and rapid flexible intervention in the production process as required Further-more fully-integrated MES improve process reliability reducing interface loss and avoiding the costly operation of a string of stand-alone solutions A num-ber of companies attempt to map their production processes using ERPPPC systems While these efforts fail for a number of reasons this is ultimately due to the complex nature of the majority of production processes This complexity leaves many ERPPPC systems unable to visualize the relevant production processes The systems are seldom able to monitor utilization leading to cost-intensive attempts to obtain the required information

IBS AG offers a cross-sector product suite for the MESMOM segment To IBS MESMOM embodies more than just the planning and control maximum utilization of machine capacities and resources and the control of variants It also involves a reduction in inventories a lowering of rework costs optimiza-tion of the product development integration and Product-in-Use processes reject minimization and last but not least the complete traceability of prod-ucts components and batches

INTRODUCING PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

The development of further cost-saving potentials in the field of production management is being progressively directed towards autonomous control loops and a vertically and horizontally integrated IT system environment The increasing interlocking of shop floor MES and ERP-level systems with machinery and process control within the scope of Industry 40 has led to a notable increase in production process transparency The resulting optimiza-tion strategies for machine utilization and process parameter monitoring at MES level and the use of autonomous processing centres - Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS) - unleash up to a 30 increase in added value

Efficient MES solutions are a basic prerequisite for the cost-efficient dynamic interaction of logistics and process chains The appeal of such systems lies in the relatively easily-achieved harmonization of shop floor and facility manage-ment at MES level which enables the simple bidirectional consolidation and real-time analysis of shop floor level data and managed by the superordinate ERP system (co-ordination level) at the MES level

MESMOM development is heading towards modular standard systems which within the scope of a short implementation phase can be optimally ex-panded to suit a wide range of operating conditions and increasing customer requirements using parametrization or simple modification There is no need for time-consuming reprogramming the system is quickly expandable and flexible in terms of use

IBS products are already Production 2020-compatible and constitute a key component of Industry 40 They are available for all sizes of company and all types of industry and can be implemented on a cross-site basis enabling them to meet the requirements of global operators

The MES solution maps and safeguards global supply chains The automatic acquisition of all production process data ensures the straightforward prepa-ration of data for reports and other analyses Powerful analysis tools enable a clear increase in production line productivity and the efficient utilization thereof enabling more efficient use of the existing IT environment and plant machinery

Fine Planning Main Control

PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

Benefits

The optimization of deadline adherence requires im-proved fine planning and transparency of current product events Reliable fine planning relies upon the systems used having a close proximity to the production ERP systems with their limited flexibility are unable to fulfil this criteria A powerful interfacing level and a Manufac-turing Execution System (MES) are thus requiredThe orders production orders or operations transmitted from the leading ERP system for fine planning are sched-uled in the production process either manually semi-au-tomatically or automatically within a time frame of a number of days to a few weeks or even months At the same time the defined planning rules and availability of resources and capacities are checked Production orders or operations that cannot be planned without conflict re-main in the work list The planner is notified of the conflict in order to find a solution The main control feature also assists the planner in finding the solution The planning process is carried out under consideration of the currently available production capacities and resources as well as delivery dates The Main Control module plans produc-tion processes optimising machining sequences for the achievement of short cycle times The freely user-defin-able planning rules can be applied to achieve optimiza-tions in many of the production areas The reduction of set-up times and associated set-up costs are shown here as an example along with the optimization of machine and resource utilization

Operational Data Acquisition (ODA)

Reliable planning principles are essential to achieving effective and efficient production management A key role is also played by the actual operating and machine deployment data and the rapid feedback of this inform to the MES

IBS operational data acquisition module is a powerful standard software tool that can be individually adapted to meet company-specific framework conditions It offers a wide variety of solution possibilities for the management of various tasks in the production area based on the latest data from the areas of production planning pro-duction control and order processing The recording of running times batch and serial numbers process param-eters personnel and production figures (OKNOKrework and reject) and machine downtimes along with the re-spective reasons (eg tooling set-up machine error) form the basis for order tracking If a PPC system is present a bidirectional exchange of data takes place between the PPC system and the ODA (Operational Data Acqui-sition) module A specially developed operator menu offers simplified function button operation for optimized ergonomics especially where touch-screens are in use The operator is also able to view the instructions on the production steps and associated documents at any time

When used in conjunction with further modules from the IBS product range the tool also ensures the complete traceability of products components materials and auxil-lary materials on a batch and serial-number basis

PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

Resource Management RoutingOrder Management

Resource management planning is carried out on the basis of the personnel machines materials tools and gages scheduled for the order and in accordance with the planning sequence of operations involved in the production processThe resources used and the produc-tion progress are recorded during production to ensure complete traceability Up-to-the-minute reliable feedback enables precise real-time planning ensuring adherence deadlines and a high degree of cost-efficiency

The system analyzes the resource requirement in relation to the operations and their scheduling order and then controls their availability on a just-in-time basis

All resources can be allocated using a combination of parts and machines This allocation enables the unique specification of resources for orders and work schedules as well as ensuring the complete traceability As soon as a resource is modified in any way eg with a change of version number all work schedules affected by this modification are updated accordingly Once confirmed change management is activated and the resource in question contained the work schedule is replaced with the new one

Traceability has the task of establishing and maintaining transparency throughout the production process and the further deployment of manufactured products Informa-tion on the components used and the materials of which these comprise is required from both the supplier and the companys own production department This information is then supplemented by the employee

Information on the batch used is also required along with the products used and their serial numbers the current production data and parameters any problems arising during the production process any rework carried out and any other events relevant to the product This data must be accessible on a historicized basis to ensure transparency of the respective components and end product at all times

The IBS MES solution supports the ideal workflow If a problem is reported by a customer or supplier or arises from an internal production step the cause of the problem and the process in question are identified with the help of the traceability system

IBSprisma and CAQ=QSYS provide online production process data on the process and quality status for anal-ysis purposes The problem removal is then carried out from a top-down basis in accordance with the results The traceability tool is then used to determine which other products were manufactured in accordance with the defective process conditions during the period in question (based on either batch or serial number) which custom-ers have already received defective products which con-signments were affected and in which containers these consignments were delivered (bottom-up)

This fulfils all required criteria for the launch of a targeted recall campaign It is also possible to identify products which have not yet been delivered at the touch of a button

Traceability software helps ascertain which parts were assembled in which products at what time and at which location as well

as providing information on the production conditions (in-house or external) and delivery destination

Process SupportOnce integrated with the respective ERP system the IBS MES solution is alerted to the incoming goods entry This entry leads to the automatic creation of an inspection order to enable data acquisition in the incoming goods area A unique label can then be applied to each pack using IBStraceability The following pack information inter alia is directly recorded prior to label printing

Quantity Shelf life Date code

In some cases the information applied to the pack by the supplier may be in the form of a PDF417 code The advantage of this type of identification is that it enables the capture of several types of information with a single scan Storage of the delivered materials is usually man-aged by existing warehouse management systems on the customers premises A further possibility would be the use of IBStraceability which would enable the marriage of a warehouse slotarea ID with the previously generated pack ID

Paperless Repair with CDA (Component - Defect Acquisition - Repair Processing)Defects detected during the visual inspection (automatic or manual) are entered into the repair loop Following input of the defective assembly (by scanning in the serial number) in the CDA module the user is shown a graph-ical view enabling the repair to be carried out faster and with greater precision

Input defective components can be visualized by clicking on the parts list (BOM) in the CAD drawing and vice ver-sa Saving the defects input here automatically generates a complaint in the Quality Management module for Con-cern and Complaint Management The module is also able to carry out comprehensive evaluations

ICT and Function TestersThe In-Circuit Test (ICT) is a test procedure carried out for electronic devices and mounted circuit boards in the electronics industry After being placed on or in a special inspection adapter the mounted circuit board is then checked for conductor track (such as short-circuiting or breaks) soldering and component defects Complete circuit blocks (clusters) can also be tested

The function test (FCT also known as the functional test) is used to inspect or check a product or system in terms of its functional requirements The test assesses not only the nominal behavior but also possible malfunc-tions within the scope of a cross-check Assemblies and devices subject to FCT tests are often inspected using specially manufactured test equipmentBoth systems pro-vide test results for third party systems This data is read in and saved for the circuit board The repair of defective circuit boardsassemblies is carried out using CDA The user is shown the test results files to assist with the repair process

INTRODUCINGPRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

Many production companies have set themselves a goal of avoiding wastage The exact source of this wastage in production halls however often belies a vague assumption Cost-saving and process optimization rely on in-depth knowledge of the production process in order to lead to a sustainable in-crease in competitiveness MESMOM systems help achieve a continuous improvement of the production process closing the information gap between ERPPPC systems and the shop floor level

Further arguments for the use of MESMOM software solutions can be iden-tified as follows In addition to achieving a long-term improvement of classic target values such as cycle times productivity and utilization the software is also able to harness planning quality potentials The MESMOM software is able to provide the user with the data in real-time enabling prompt reaction and rapid flexible intervention in the production process as required Further-more fully-integrated MES improve process reliability reducing interface loss and avoiding the costly operation of a string of stand-alone solutions A num-ber of companies attempt to map their production processes using ERPPPC systems While these efforts fail for a number of reasons this is ultimately due to the complex nature of the majority of production processes This complexity leaves many ERPPPC systems unable to visualize the relevant production processes The systems are seldom able to monitor utilization leading to cost-intensive attempts to obtain the required information

IBS AG offers a cross-sector product suite for the MESMOM segment To IBS MESMOM embodies more than just the planning and control maximum utilization of machine capacities and resources and the control of variants It also involves a reduction in inventories a lowering of rework costs optimiza-tion of the product development integration and Product-in-Use processes reject minimization and last but not least the complete traceability of prod-ucts components and batches

INTRODUCING PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

The development of further cost-saving potentials in the field of production management is being progressively directed towards autonomous control loops and a vertically and horizontally integrated IT system environment The increasing interlocking of shop floor MES and ERP-level systems with machinery and process control within the scope of Industry 40 has led to a notable increase in production process transparency The resulting optimiza-tion strategies for machine utilization and process parameter monitoring at MES level and the use of autonomous processing centres - Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS) - unleash up to a 30 increase in added value

Efficient MES solutions are a basic prerequisite for the cost-efficient dynamic interaction of logistics and process chains The appeal of such systems lies in the relatively easily-achieved harmonization of shop floor and facility manage-ment at MES level which enables the simple bidirectional consolidation and real-time analysis of shop floor level data and managed by the superordinate ERP system (co-ordination level) at the MES level

MESMOM development is heading towards modular standard systems which within the scope of a short implementation phase can be optimally ex-panded to suit a wide range of operating conditions and increasing customer requirements using parametrization or simple modification There is no need for time-consuming reprogramming the system is quickly expandable and flexible in terms of use

IBS products are already Production 2020-compatible and constitute a key component of Industry 40 They are available for all sizes of company and all types of industry and can be implemented on a cross-site basis enabling them to meet the requirements of global operators

The MES solution maps and safeguards global supply chains The automatic acquisition of all production process data ensures the straightforward prepa-ration of data for reports and other analyses Powerful analysis tools enable a clear increase in production line productivity and the efficient utilization thereof enabling more efficient use of the existing IT environment and plant machinery

Fine Planning Main Control

PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

Benefits

The optimization of deadline adherence requires im-proved fine planning and transparency of current product events Reliable fine planning relies upon the systems used having a close proximity to the production ERP systems with their limited flexibility are unable to fulfil this criteria A powerful interfacing level and a Manufac-turing Execution System (MES) are thus requiredThe orders production orders or operations transmitted from the leading ERP system for fine planning are sched-uled in the production process either manually semi-au-tomatically or automatically within a time frame of a number of days to a few weeks or even months At the same time the defined planning rules and availability of resources and capacities are checked Production orders or operations that cannot be planned without conflict re-main in the work list The planner is notified of the conflict in order to find a solution The main control feature also assists the planner in finding the solution The planning process is carried out under consideration of the currently available production capacities and resources as well as delivery dates The Main Control module plans produc-tion processes optimising machining sequences for the achievement of short cycle times The freely user-defin-able planning rules can be applied to achieve optimiza-tions in many of the production areas The reduction of set-up times and associated set-up costs are shown here as an example along with the optimization of machine and resource utilization

Traceability has the task of establishing and maintaining transparency throughout the production process and the further deployment of manufactured products Informa-tion on the components used and the materials of which these comprise is required from both the supplier and the companys own production department This information is then supplemented by the employee

Information on the batch used is also required along with the products used and their serial numbers the current production data and parameters any problems arising during the production process any rework carried out and any other events relevant to the product This data must be accessible on a historicized basis to ensure transparency of the respective components and end product at all times

The IBS MES solution supports the ideal workflow If a problem is reported by a customer or supplier or arises from an internal production step the cause of the problem and the process in question are identified with the help of the traceability system

IBSprisma and CAQ=QSYS provide online production process data on the process and quality status for anal-ysis purposes The problem removal is then carried out from a top-down basis in accordance with the results The traceability tool is then used to determine which other products were manufactured in accordance with the defective process conditions during the period in question (based on either batch or serial number) which custom-ers have already received defective products which con-signments were affected and in which containers these consignments were delivered (bottom-up)

This fulfils all required criteria for the launch of a targeted recall campaign It is also possible to identify products which have not yet been delivered at the touch of a button

Traceability software helps ascertain which parts were assembled in which products at what time and at which location as well

as providing information on the production conditions (in-house or external) and delivery destination

Process SupportOnce integrated with the respective ERP system the IBS MES solution is alerted to the incoming goods entry This entry leads to the automatic creation of an inspection order to enable data acquisition in the incoming goods area A unique label can then be applied to each pack using IBStraceability The following pack information inter alia is directly recorded prior to label printing

Quantity Shelf life Date code

In some cases the information applied to the pack by the supplier may be in the form of a PDF417 code The advantage of this type of identification is that it enables the capture of several types of information with a single scan Storage of the delivered materials is usually man-aged by existing warehouse management systems on the customers premises A further possibility would be the use of IBStraceability which would enable the marriage of a warehouse slotarea ID with the previously generated pack ID

Paperless Repair with CDA (Component - Defect Acquisition - Repair Processing)Defects detected during the visual inspection (automatic or manual) are entered into the repair loop Following input of the defective assembly (by scanning in the serial number) in the CDA module the user is shown a graph-ical view enabling the repair to be carried out faster and with greater precision

Input defective components can be visualized by clicking on the parts list (BOM) in the CAD drawing and vice ver-sa Saving the defects input here automatically generates a complaint in the Quality Management module for Con-cern and Complaint Management The module is also able to carry out comprehensive evaluations

ICT and Function TestersThe In-Circuit Test (ICT) is a test procedure carried out for electronic devices and mounted circuit boards in the electronics industry After being placed on or in a special inspection adapter the mounted circuit board is then checked for conductor track (such as short-circuiting or breaks) soldering and component defects Complete circuit blocks (clusters) can also be tested

The function test (FCT also known as the functional test) is used to inspect or check a product or system in terms of its functional requirements The test assesses not only the nominal behavior but also possible malfunc-tions within the scope of a cross-check Assemblies and devices subject to FCT tests are often inspected using specially manufactured test equipmentBoth systems pro-vide test results for third party systems This data is read in and saved for the circuit board The repair of defective circuit boardsassemblies is carried out using CDA The user is shown the test results files to assist with the repair process

INTRODUCINGPRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

Many production companies have set themselves a goal of avoiding wastage The exact source of this wastage in production halls however often belies a vague assumption Cost-saving and process optimization rely on in-depth knowledge of the production process in order to lead to a sustainable in-crease in competitiveness MESMOM systems help achieve a continuous improvement of the production process closing the information gap between ERPPPC systems and the shop floor level

Further arguments for the use of MESMOM software solutions can be iden-tified as follows In addition to achieving a long-term improvement of classic target values such as cycle times productivity and utilization the software is also able to harness planning quality potentials The MESMOM software is able to provide the user with the data in real-time enabling prompt reaction and rapid flexible intervention in the production process as required Further-more fully-integrated MES improve process reliability reducing interface loss and avoiding the costly operation of a string of stand-alone solutions A num-ber of companies attempt to map their production processes using ERPPPC systems While these efforts fail for a number of reasons this is ultimately due to the complex nature of the majority of production processes This complexity leaves many ERPPPC systems unable to visualize the relevant production processes The systems are seldom able to monitor utilization leading to cost-intensive attempts to obtain the required information

IBS AG offers a cross-sector product suite for the MESMOM segment To IBS MESMOM embodies more than just the planning and control maximum utilization of machine capacities and resources and the control of variants It also involves a reduction in inventories a lowering of rework costs optimiza-tion of the product development integration and Product-in-Use processes reject minimization and last but not least the complete traceability of prod-ucts components and batches

INTRODUCING PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

The development of further cost-saving potentials in the field of production management is being progressively directed towards autonomous control loops and a vertically and horizontally integrated IT system environment The increasing interlocking of shop floor MES and ERP-level systems with machinery and process control within the scope of Industry 40 has led to a notable increase in production process transparency The resulting optimiza-tion strategies for machine utilization and process parameter monitoring at MES level and the use of autonomous processing centres - Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS) - unleash up to a 30 increase in added value

Efficient MES solutions are a basic prerequisite for the cost-efficient dynamic interaction of logistics and process chains The appeal of such systems lies in the relatively easily-achieved harmonization of shop floor and facility manage-ment at MES level which enables the simple bidirectional consolidation and real-time analysis of shop floor level data and managed by the superordinate ERP system (co-ordination level) at the MES level

MESMOM development is heading towards modular standard systems which within the scope of a short implementation phase can be optimally ex-panded to suit a wide range of operating conditions and increasing customer requirements using parametrization or simple modification There is no need for time-consuming reprogramming the system is quickly expandable and flexible in terms of use

IBS products are already Production 2020-compatible and constitute a key component of Industry 40 They are available for all sizes of company and all types of industry and can be implemented on a cross-site basis enabling them to meet the requirements of global operators

The MES solution maps and safeguards global supply chains The automatic acquisition of all production process data ensures the straightforward prepa-ration of data for reports and other analyses Powerful analysis tools enable a clear increase in production line productivity and the efficient utilization thereof enabling more efficient use of the existing IT environment and plant machinery

Fine Planning Main Control

PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

Benefits

The optimization of deadline adherence requires im-proved fine planning and transparency of current product events Reliable fine planning relies upon the systems used having a close proximity to the production ERP systems with their limited flexibility are unable to fulfil this criteria A powerful interfacing level and a Manufac-turing Execution System (MES) are thus requiredThe orders production orders or operations transmitted from the leading ERP system for fine planning are sched-uled in the production process either manually semi-au-tomatically or automatically within a time frame of a number of days to a few weeks or even months At the same time the defined planning rules and availability of resources and capacities are checked Production orders or operations that cannot be planned without conflict re-main in the work list The planner is notified of the conflict in order to find a solution The main control feature also assists the planner in finding the solution The planning process is carried out under consideration of the currently available production capacities and resources as well as delivery dates The Main Control module plans produc-tion processes optimising machining sequences for the achievement of short cycle times The freely user-defin-able planning rules can be applied to achieve optimiza-tions in many of the production areas The reduction of set-up times and associated set-up costs are shown here as an example along with the optimization of machine and resource utilization

Traceability has the task of establishing and maintaining transparency throughout the production process and the further deployment of manufactured products Informa-tion on the components used and the materials of which these comprise is required from both the supplier and the companys own production department This information is then supplemented by the employee

Information on the batch used is also required along with the products used and their serial numbers the current production data and parameters any problems arising during the production process any rework carried out and any other events relevant to the product This data must be accessible on a historicized basis to ensure transparency of the respective components and end product at all times

The IBS MES solution supports the ideal workflow If a problem is reported by a customer or supplier or arises from an internal production step the cause of the problem and the process in question are identified with the help of the traceability system

IBSprisma and CAQ=QSYS provide online production process data on the process and quality status for anal-ysis purposes The problem removal is then carried out from a top-down basis in accordance with the results The traceability tool is then used to determine which other products were manufactured in accordance with the defective process conditions during the period in question (based on either batch or serial number) which custom-ers have already received defective products which con-signments were affected and in which containers these consignments were delivered (bottom-up)

This fulfils all required criteria for the launch of a targeted recall campaign It is also possible to identify products which have not yet been delivered at the touch of a button

Traceability software helps ascertain which parts were assembled in which products at what time and at which location as well

as providing information on the production conditions (in-house or external) and delivery destination

Process SupportOnce integrated with the respective ERP system the IBS MES solution is alerted to the incoming goods entry This entry leads to the automatic creation of an inspection order to enable data acquisition in the incoming goods area A unique label can then be applied to each pack using IBStraceability The following pack information inter alia is directly recorded prior to label printing

Quantity Shelf life Date code

In some cases the information applied to the pack by the supplier may be in the form of a PDF417 code The advantage of this type of identification is that it enables the capture of several types of information with a single scan Storage of the delivered materials is usually man-aged by existing warehouse management systems on the customers premises A further possibility would be the use of IBStraceability which would enable the marriage of a warehouse slotarea ID with the previously generated pack ID

Paperless Repair with CDA (Component - Defect Acquisition - Repair Processing)Defects detected during the visual inspection (automatic or manual) are entered into the repair loop Following input of the defective assembly (by scanning in the serial number) in the CDA module the user is shown a graph-ical view enabling the repair to be carried out faster and with greater precision

Input defective components can be visualized by clicking on the parts list (BOM) in the CAD drawing and vice ver-sa Saving the defects input here automatically generates a complaint in the Quality Management module for Con-cern and Complaint Management The module is also able to carry out comprehensive evaluations

ICT and Function TestersThe In-Circuit Test (ICT) is a test procedure carried out for electronic devices and mounted circuit boards in the electronics industry After being placed on or in a special inspection adapter the mounted circuit board is then checked for conductor track (such as short-circuiting or breaks) soldering and component defects Complete circuit blocks (clusters) can also be tested

The function test (FCT also known as the functional test) is used to inspect or check a product or system in terms of its functional requirements The test assesses not only the nominal behavior but also possible malfunc-tions within the scope of a cross-check Assemblies and devices subject to FCT tests are often inspected using specially manufactured test equipmentBoth systems pro-vide test results for third party systems This data is read in and saved for the circuit board The repair of defective circuit boardsassemblies is carried out using CDA The user is shown the test results files to assist with the repair process

INTRODUCINGPRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

Many production companies have set themselves a goal of avoiding wastage The exact source of this wastage in production halls however often belies a vague assumption Cost-saving and process optimization rely on in-depth knowledge of the production process in order to lead to a sustainable in-crease in competitiveness MESMOM systems help achieve a continuous improvement of the production process closing the information gap between ERPPPC systems and the shop floor level

Further arguments for the use of MESMOM software solutions can be iden-tified as follows In addition to achieving a long-term improvement of classic target values such as cycle times productivity and utilization the software is also able to harness planning quality potentials The MESMOM software is able to provide the user with the data in real-time enabling prompt reaction and rapid flexible intervention in the production process as required Further-more fully-integrated MES improve process reliability reducing interface loss and avoiding the costly operation of a string of stand-alone solutions A num-ber of companies attempt to map their production processes using ERPPPC systems While these efforts fail for a number of reasons this is ultimately due to the complex nature of the majority of production processes This complexity leaves many ERPPPC systems unable to visualize the relevant production processes The systems are seldom able to monitor utilization leading to cost-intensive attempts to obtain the required information

IBS AG offers a cross-sector product suite for the MESMOM segment To IBS MESMOM embodies more than just the planning and control maximum utilization of machine capacities and resources and the control of variants It also involves a reduction in inventories a lowering of rework costs optimiza-tion of the product development integration and Product-in-Use processes reject minimization and last but not least the complete traceability of prod-ucts components and batches

INTRODUCING PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

The development of further cost-saving potentials in the field of production management is being progressively directed towards autonomous control loops and a vertically and horizontally integrated IT system environment The increasing interlocking of shop floor MES and ERP-level systems with machinery and process control within the scope of Industry 40 has led to a notable increase in production process transparency The resulting optimiza-tion strategies for machine utilization and process parameter monitoring at MES level and the use of autonomous processing centres - Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS) - unleash up to a 30 increase in added value

Efficient MES solutions are a basic prerequisite for the cost-efficient dynamic interaction of logistics and process chains The appeal of such systems lies in the relatively easily-achieved harmonization of shop floor and facility manage-ment at MES level which enables the simple bidirectional consolidation and real-time analysis of shop floor level data and managed by the superordinate ERP system (co-ordination level) at the MES level

MESMOM development is heading towards modular standard systems which within the scope of a short implementation phase can be optimally ex-panded to suit a wide range of operating conditions and increasing customer requirements using parametrization or simple modification There is no need for time-consuming reprogramming the system is quickly expandable and flexible in terms of use

IBS products are already Production 2020-compatible and constitute a key component of Industry 40 They are available for all sizes of company and all types of industry and can be implemented on a cross-site basis enabling them to meet the requirements of global operators

The MES solution maps and safeguards global supply chains The automatic acquisition of all production process data ensures the straightforward prepa-ration of data for reports and other analyses Powerful analysis tools enable a clear increase in production line productivity and the efficient utilization thereof enabling more efficient use of the existing IT environment and plant machinery

Fine Planning Main Control

PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

Benefits

The optimization of deadline adherence requires im-proved fine planning and transparency of current product events Reliable fine planning relies upon the systems used having a close proximity to the production ERP systems with their limited flexibility are unable to fulfil this criteria A powerful interfacing level and a Manufac-turing Execution System (MES) are thus requiredThe orders production orders or operations transmitted from the leading ERP system for fine planning are sched-uled in the production process either manually semi-au-tomatically or automatically within a time frame of a number of days to a few weeks or even months At the same time the defined planning rules and availability of resources and capacities are checked Production orders or operations that cannot be planned without conflict re-main in the work list The planner is notified of the conflict in order to find a solution The main control feature also assists the planner in finding the solution The planning process is carried out under consideration of the currently available production capacities and resources as well as delivery dates The Main Control module plans produc-tion processes optimising machining sequences for the achievement of short cycle times The freely user-defin-able planning rules can be applied to achieve optimiza-tions in many of the production areas The reduction of set-up times and associated set-up costs are shown here as an example along with the optimization of machine and resource utilization

Traceability has the task of establishing and maintaining transparency throughout the production process and the further deployment of manufactured products Informa-tion on the components used and the materials of which these comprise is required from both the supplier and the companys own production department This information is then supplemented by the employee

Information on the batch used is also required along with the products used and their serial numbers the current production data and parameters any problems arising during the production process any rework carried out and any other events relevant to the product This data must be accessible on a historicized basis to ensure transparency of the respective components and end product at all times

The IBS MES solution supports the ideal workflow If a problem is reported by a customer or supplier or arises from an internal production step the cause of the problem and the process in question are identified with the help of the traceability system

IBSprisma and CAQ=QSYS provide online production process data on the process and quality status for anal-ysis purposes The problem removal is then carried out from a top-down basis in accordance with the results The traceability tool is then used to determine which other products were manufactured in accordance with the defective process conditions during the period in question (based on either batch or serial number) which custom-ers have already received defective products which con-signments were affected and in which containers these consignments were delivered (bottom-up)

This fulfils all required criteria for the launch of a targeted recall campaign It is also possible to identify products which have not yet been delivered at the touch of a button

Traceability software helps ascertain which parts were assembled in which products at what time and at which location as well

as providing information on the production conditions (in-house or external) and delivery destination

Process SupportOnce integrated with the respective ERP system the IBS MES solution is alerted to the incoming goods entry This entry leads to the automatic creation of an inspection order to enable data acquisition in the incoming goods area A unique label can then be applied to each pack using IBStraceability The following pack information inter alia is directly recorded prior to label printing

Quantity Shelf life Date code

In some cases the information applied to the pack by the supplier may be in the form of a PDF417 code The advantage of this type of identification is that it enables the capture of several types of information with a single scan Storage of the delivered materials is usually man-aged by existing warehouse management systems on the customers premises A further possibility would be the use of IBStraceability which would enable the marriage of a warehouse slotarea ID with the previously generated pack ID

Paperless Repair with CDA (Component - Defect Acquisition - Repair Processing)Defects detected during the visual inspection (automatic or manual) are entered into the repair loop Following input of the defective assembly (by scanning in the serial number) in the CDA module the user is shown a graph-ical view enabling the repair to be carried out faster and with greater precision

Input defective components can be visualized by clicking on the parts list (BOM) in the CAD drawing and vice ver-sa Saving the defects input here automatically generates a complaint in the Quality Management module for Con-cern and Complaint Management The module is also able to carry out comprehensive evaluations

ICT and Function TestersThe In-Circuit Test (ICT) is a test procedure carried out for electronic devices and mounted circuit boards in the electronics industry After being placed on or in a special inspection adapter the mounted circuit board is then checked for conductor track (such as short-circuiting or breaks) soldering and component defects Complete circuit blocks (clusters) can also be tested

The function test (FCT also known as the functional test) is used to inspect or check a product or system in terms of its functional requirements The test assesses not only the nominal behavior but also possible malfunc-tions within the scope of a cross-check Assemblies and devices subject to FCT tests are often inspected using specially manufactured test equipmentBoth systems pro-vide test results for third party systems This data is read in and saved for the circuit board The repair of defective circuit boardsassemblies is carried out using CDA The user is shown the test results files to assist with the repair process

Cockpit BI is a freely-definable cross-MES analysis and reporting tool

The use of Qlikview enables the more comprehensive analysis of data captured by the IBS system since targeted KPI analysis and the linkage of various forms of informa-tion from the shop floor level offer a great deal of valuable optimization and analysis potential for product life cycle management as a whole and in almost all functional areas of the company This unleashes a much wider range of possibilities for transparent data analysis by the user and improved visualization Furthermore this data may also been combined with supplementary data from other sourc-es to provide an overall analysis

The option enabling the definition of freely configurable fil-ter criteria and the application thereof for reporting purpos-es has now been expanded to include in the form of printed data lists or output as business graphs The captured data can then be grouped as required eg for greater efficiency in the determination of main defects and conspicuities

The list or graph is either printed directly or be transmitted to MS Office products Crystal or Cognos applications The user can also define drill-downs for the individual lists enabling the call-in of the necessary data on a context-rele-vant or analysis-specific basis

INTRODUCINGPRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

Many production companies have set themselves a goal of avoiding wastage The exact source of this wastage in production halls however often belies a vague assumption Cost-saving and process optimization rely on in-depth knowledge of the production process in order to lead to a sustainable in-crease in competitiveness MESMOM systems help achieve a continuous improvement of the production process closing the information gap between ERPPPC systems and the shop floor level

Further arguments for the use of MESMOM software solutions can be iden-tified as follows In addition to achieving a long-term improvement of classic target values such as cycle times productivity and utilization the software is also able to harness planning quality potentials The MESMOM software is able to provide the user with the data in real-time enabling prompt reaction and rapid flexible intervention in the production process as required Further-more fully-integrated MES improve process reliability reducing interface loss and avoiding the costly operation of a string of stand-alone solutions A num-ber of companies attempt to map their production processes using ERPPPC systems While these efforts fail for a number of reasons this is ultimately due to the complex nature of the majority of production processes This complexity leaves many ERPPPC systems unable to visualize the relevant production processes The systems are seldom able to monitor utilization leading to cost-intensive attempts to obtain the required information

IBS AG offers a cross-sector product suite for the MESMOM segment To IBS MESMOM embodies more than just the planning and control maximum utilization of machine capacities and resources and the control of variants It also involves a reduction in inventories a lowering of rework costs optimiza-tion of the product development integration and Product-in-Use processes reject minimization and last but not least the complete traceability of prod-ucts components and batches

INTRODUCING PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

The development of further cost-saving potentials in the field of production management is being progressively directed towards autonomous control loops and a vertically and horizontally integrated IT system environment The increasing interlocking of shop floor MES and ERP-level systems with machinery and process control within the scope of Industry 40 has led to a notable increase in production process transparency The resulting optimiza-tion strategies for machine utilization and process parameter monitoring at MES level and the use of autonomous processing centres - Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS) - unleash up to a 30 increase in added value

Efficient MES solutions are a basic prerequisite for the cost-efficient dynamic interaction of logistics and process chains The appeal of such systems lies in the relatively easily-achieved harmonization of shop floor and facility manage-ment at MES level which enables the simple bidirectional consolidation and real-time analysis of shop floor level data and managed by the superordinate ERP system (co-ordination level) at the MES level

MESMOM development is heading towards modular standard systems which within the scope of a short implementation phase can be optimally ex-panded to suit a wide range of operating conditions and increasing customer requirements using parametrization or simple modification There is no need for time-consuming reprogramming the system is quickly expandable and flexible in terms of use

IBS products are already Production 2020-compatible and constitute a key component of Industry 40 They are available for all sizes of company and all types of industry and can be implemented on a cross-site basis enabling them to meet the requirements of global operators

The MES solution maps and safeguards global supply chains The automatic acquisition of all production process data ensures the straightforward prepa-ration of data for reports and other analyses Powerful analysis tools enable a clear increase in production line productivity and the efficient utilization thereof enabling more efficient use of the existing IT environment and plant machinery

Fine Planning Main Control

PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

Benefits

The optimization of deadline adherence requires im-proved fine planning and transparency of current product events Reliable fine planning relies upon the systems used having a close proximity to the production ERP systems with their limited flexibility are unable to fulfil this criteria A powerful interfacing level and a Manufac-turing Execution System (MES) are thus requiredThe orders production orders or operations transmitted from the leading ERP system for fine planning are sched-uled in the production process either manually semi-au-tomatically or automatically within a time frame of a number of days to a few weeks or even months At the same time the defined planning rules and availability of resources and capacities are checked Production orders or operations that cannot be planned without conflict re-main in the work list The planner is notified of the conflict in order to find a solution The main control feature also assists the planner in finding the solution The planning process is carried out under consideration of the currently available production capacities and resources as well as delivery dates The Main Control module plans produc-tion processes optimising machining sequences for the achievement of short cycle times The freely user-defin-able planning rules can be applied to achieve optimiza-tions in many of the production areas The reduction of set-up times and associated set-up costs are shown here as an example along with the optimization of machine and resource utilization

Operational Data Acquisition (ODA)

Reliable planning principles are essential to achieving effective and efficient production management A key role is also played by the actual operating and machine deployment data and the rapid feedback of this inform to the MES

IBS operational data acquisition module is a powerful standard software tool that can be individually adapted to meet company-specific framework conditions It offers a wide variety of solution possibilities for the management of various tasks in the production area based on the latest data from the areas of production planning pro-duction control and order processing The recording of running times batch and serial numbers process param-eters personnel and production figures (OKNOKrework and reject) and machine downtimes along with the re-spective reasons (eg tooling set-up machine error) form the basis for order tracking If a PPC system is present a bidirectional exchange of data takes place between the PPC system and the ODA (Operational Data Acqui-sition) module A specially developed operator menu offers simplified function button operation for optimized ergonomics especially where touch-screens are in use The operator is also able to view the instructions on the production steps and associated documents at any time

When used in conjunction with further modules from the IBS product range the tool also ensures the complete traceability of products components materials and auxil-lary materials on a batch and serial-number basis

Traceability has the task of establishing and maintaining transparency throughout the production process and the further deployment of manufactured products Informa-tion on the components used and the materials of which these comprise is required from both the supplier and the companys own production department This information is then supplemented by the employee

Information on the batch used is also required along with the products used and their serial numbers the current production data and parameters any problems arising during the production process any rework carried out and any other events relevant to the product This data must be accessible on a historicized basis to ensure transparency of the respective components and end product at all times

The IBS MES solution supports the ideal workflow If a problem is reported by a customer or supplier or arises from an internal production step the cause of the problem and the process in question are identified with the help of the traceability system

IBSprisma and CAQ=QSYS provide online production process data on the process and quality status for anal-ysis purposes The problem removal is then carried out from a top-down basis in accordance with the results The traceability tool is then used to determine which other products were manufactured in accordance with the defective process conditions during the period in question (based on either batch or serial number) which custom-ers have already received defective products which con-signments were affected and in which containers these consignments were delivered (bottom-up)

This fulfils all required criteria for the launch of a targeted recall campaign It is also possible to identify products which have not yet been delivered at the touch of a button

Traceability software helps ascertain which parts were assembled in which products at what time and at which location as well

as providing information on the production conditions (in-house or external) and delivery destination

MESMOM IN THE ELECTRONICS MANUFACTURING SERVICES (EMS) INDUSTRY

IBS MES Software in the Electronics Industry

Benefits

Modern electronics manufacturing involves fully-automat-ed high-speed processes Since the electronics industry is required to precisely document the assembly of each individual component including circuit board mounting all production steps and subsequent data must be record-ed IBS AG software is capable of carrying out all aspects of fully-automated data acquisition and administration

Optimal Production PlanningThe profitable operation of capital-intensive plants such as clean rooms relies on full capacity production plan-ning IBS production management software facilitates the optimal planning and utilization of production resources The quality management modules enable regulatory process intervention

Zero Defect ToleranceIBS AG solutions provide optimum support in the manu-facture of electronic assemblies and devices With solu-tions specially directed towards EMS service providers inter alia IBS AG provides optimal process optimization supportIn order to achieve this IBS AG solutions cover the entire process from machine set-up to the use of SMDs (surface-mounted devices) and THT (through-the-hole technology) mounting as well as downstream inspection strategies such as ICT AOI and Paperless Repair Direct integration with the respective ERP system enables the use of operation-specific parts lists inter alia for repair loopsDirect integration with the respective ERP system en-ables the use of operation-specific parts lists inter alia for repair loopsIntegration of the respective tester with standard CAD systems from the field of electronics en-ables optimal repair process support

Process SupportOnce integrated with the respective ERP system the IBS MES solution is alerted to the incoming goods entry This entry leads to the automatic creation of an inspection order to enable data acquisition in the incoming goods area A unique label can then be applied to each pack using IBStraceability The following pack information inter alia is directly recorded prior to label printing

Quantity Shelf life Date code

In some cases the information applied to the pack by the supplier may be in the form of a PDF417 code The advantage of this type of identification is that it enables the capture of several types of information with a single scan Storage of the delivered materials is usually man-aged by existing warehouse management systems on the customers premises A further possibility would be the use of IBStraceability which would enable the marriage of a warehouse slotarea ID with the previously generated pack ID

Paperless Repair with CDA (Component - Defect Acquisition - Repair Processing)Defects detected during the visual inspection (automatic or manual) are entered into the repair loop Following input of the defective assembly (by scanning in the serial number) in the CDA module the user is shown a graph-ical view enabling the repair to be carried out faster and with greater precision

Input defective components can be visualized by clicking on the parts list (BOM) in the CAD drawing and vice ver-sa Saving the defects input here automatically generates a complaint in the Quality Management module for Con-cern and Complaint Management The module is also able to carry out comprehensive evaluations

ICT and Function TestersThe In-Circuit Test (ICT) is a test procedure carried out for electronic devices and mounted circuit boards in the electronics industry After being placed on or in a special inspection adapter the mounted circuit board is then checked for conductor track (such as short-circuiting or breaks) soldering and component defects Complete circuit blocks (clusters) can also be tested

The function test (FCT also known as the functional test) is used to inspect or check a product or system in terms of its functional requirements The test assesses not only the nominal behavior but also possible malfunc-tions within the scope of a cross-check Assemblies and devices subject to FCT tests are often inspected using specially manufactured test equipmentBoth systems pro-vide test results for third party systems This data is read in and saved for the circuit board The repair of defective circuit boardsassemblies is carried out using CDA The user is shown the test results files to assist with the repair process

INTRODUCINGPRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

Many production companies have set themselves a goal of avoiding wastage The exact source of this wastage in production halls however often belies a vague assumption Cost-saving and process optimization rely on in-depth knowledge of the production process in order to lead to a sustainable in-crease in competitiveness MESMOM systems help achieve a continuous improvement of the production process closing the information gap between ERPPPC systems and the shop floor level

Further arguments for the use of MESMOM software solutions can be iden-tified as follows In addition to achieving a long-term improvement of classic target values such as cycle times productivity and utilization the software is also able to harness planning quality potentials The MESMOM software is able to provide the user with the data in real-time enabling prompt reaction and rapid flexible intervention in the production process as required Further-more fully-integrated MES improve process reliability reducing interface loss and avoiding the costly operation of a string of stand-alone solutions A num-ber of companies attempt to map their production processes using ERPPPC systems While these efforts fail for a number of reasons this is ultimately due to the complex nature of the majority of production processes This complexity leaves many ERPPPC systems unable to visualize the relevant production processes The systems are seldom able to monitor utilization leading to cost-intensive attempts to obtain the required information

IBS AG offers a cross-sector product suite for the MESMOM segment To IBS MESMOM embodies more than just the planning and control maximum utilization of machine capacities and resources and the control of variants It also involves a reduction in inventories a lowering of rework costs optimiza-tion of the product development integration and Product-in-Use processes reject minimization and last but not least the complete traceability of prod-ucts components and batches

INTRODUCING PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

The development of further cost-saving potentials in the field of production management is being progressively directed towards autonomous control loops and a vertically and horizontally integrated IT system environment The increasing interlocking of shop floor MES and ERP-level systems with machinery and process control within the scope of Industry 40 has led to a notable increase in production process transparency The resulting optimiza-tion strategies for machine utilization and process parameter monitoring at MES level and the use of autonomous processing centres - Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS) - unleash up to a 30 increase in added value

Efficient MES solutions are a basic prerequisite for the cost-efficient dynamic interaction of logistics and process chains The appeal of such systems lies in the relatively easily-achieved harmonization of shop floor and facility manage-ment at MES level which enables the simple bidirectional consolidation and real-time analysis of shop floor level data and managed by the superordinate ERP system (co-ordination level) at the MES level

MESMOM development is heading towards modular standard systems which within the scope of a short implementation phase can be optimally ex-panded to suit a wide range of operating conditions and increasing customer requirements using parametrization or simple modification There is no need for time-consuming reprogramming the system is quickly expandable and flexible in terms of use

IBS products are already Production 2020-compatible and constitute a key component of Industry 40 They are available for all sizes of company and all types of industry and can be implemented on a cross-site basis enabling them to meet the requirements of global operators

The MES solution maps and safeguards global supply chains The automatic acquisition of all production process data ensures the straightforward prepa-ration of data for reports and other analyses Powerful analysis tools enable a clear increase in production line productivity and the efficient utilization thereof enabling more efficient use of the existing IT environment and plant machinery

Fine Planning Main Control

PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

Benefits

The optimization of deadline adherence requires im-proved fine planning and transparency of current product events Reliable fine planning relies upon the systems used having a close proximity to the production ERP systems with their limited flexibility are unable to fulfil this criteria A powerful interfacing level and a Manufac-turing Execution System (MES) are thus requiredThe orders production orders or operations transmitted from the leading ERP system for fine planning are sched-uled in the production process either manually semi-au-tomatically or automatically within a time frame of a number of days to a few weeks or even months At the same time the defined planning rules and availability of resources and capacities are checked Production orders or operations that cannot be planned without conflict re-main in the work list The planner is notified of the conflict in order to find a solution The main control feature also assists the planner in finding the solution The planning process is carried out under consideration of the currently available production capacities and resources as well as delivery dates The Main Control module plans produc-tion processes optimising machining sequences for the achievement of short cycle times The freely user-defin-able planning rules can be applied to achieve optimiza-tions in many of the production areas The reduction of set-up times and associated set-up costs are shown here as an example along with the optimization of machine and resource utilization

Operational Data Acquisition (ODA)

Reliable planning principles are essential to achieving effective and efficient production management A key role is also played by the actual operating and machine deployment data and the rapid feedback of this inform to the MES

IBS operational data acquisition module is a powerful standard software tool that can be individually adapted to meet company-specific framework conditions It offers a wide variety of solution possibilities for the management of various tasks in the production area based on the latest data from the areas of production planning pro-duction control and order processing The recording of running times batch and serial numbers process param-eters personnel and production figures (OKNOKrework and reject) and machine downtimes along with the re-spective reasons (eg tooling set-up machine error) form the basis for order tracking If a PPC system is present a bidirectional exchange of data takes place between the PPC system and the ODA (Operational Data Acqui-sition) module A specially developed operator menu offers simplified function button operation for optimized ergonomics especially where touch-screens are in use The operator is also able to view the instructions on the production steps and associated documents at any time

When used in conjunction with further modules from the IBS product range the tool also ensures the complete traceability of products components materials and auxil-lary materials on a batch and serial-number basis

Traceability has the task of establishing and maintaining transparency throughout the production process and the further deployment of manufactured products Informa-tion on the components used and the materials of which these comprise is required from both the supplier and the companys own production department This information is then supplemented by the employee

Information on the batch used is also required along with the products used and their serial numbers the current production data and parameters any problems arising during the production process any rework carried out and any other events relevant to the product This data must be accessible on a historicized basis to ensure transparency of the respective components and end product at all times

The IBS MES solution supports the ideal workflow If a problem is reported by a customer or supplier or arises from an internal production step the cause of the problem and the process in question are identified with the help of the traceability system

IBSprisma and CAQ=QSYS provide online production process data on the process and quality status for anal-ysis purposes The problem removal is then carried out from a top-down basis in accordance with the results The traceability tool is then used to determine which other products were manufactured in accordance with the defective process conditions during the period in question (based on either batch or serial number) which custom-ers have already received defective products which con-signments were affected and in which containers these consignments were delivered (bottom-up)

This fulfils all required criteria for the launch of a targeted recall campaign It is also possible to identify products which have not yet been delivered at the touch of a button

Traceability software helps ascertain which parts were assembled in which products at what time and at which location as well

as providing information on the production conditions (in-house or external) and delivery destination

Process SupportOnce integrated with the respective ERP system the IBS MES solution is alerted to the incoming goods entry This entry leads to the automatic creation of an inspection order to enable data acquisition in the incoming goods area A unique label can then be applied to each pack using IBStraceability The following pack information inter alia is directly recorded prior to label printing

Quantity Shelf life Date code

In some cases the information applied to the pack by the supplier may be in the form of a PDF417 code The advantage of this type of identification is that it enables the capture of several types of information with a single scan Storage of the delivered materials is usually man-aged by existing warehouse management systems on the customers premises A further possibility would be the use of IBStraceability which would enable the marriage of a warehouse slotarea ID with the previously generated pack ID

Paperless Repair with CDA (Component - Defect Acquisition - Repair Processing)Defects detected during the visual inspection (automatic or manual) are entered into the repair loop Following input of the defective assembly (by scanning in the serial number) in the CDA module the user is shown a graph-ical view enabling the repair to be carried out faster and with greater precision

Input defective components can be visualized by clicking on the parts list (BOM) in the CAD drawing and vice ver-sa Saving the defects input here automatically generates a complaint in the Quality Management module for Con-cern and Complaint Management The module is also able to carry out comprehensive evaluations

ICT and Function TestersThe In-Circuit Test (ICT) is a test procedure carried out for electronic devices and mounted circuit boards in the electronics industry After being placed on or in a special inspection adapter the mounted circuit board is then checked for conductor track (such as short-circuiting or breaks) soldering and component defects Complete circuit blocks (clusters) can also be tested

The function test (FCT also known as the functional test) is used to inspect or check a product or system in terms of its functional requirements The test assesses not only the nominal behavior but also possible malfunc-tions within the scope of a cross-check Assemblies and devices subject to FCT tests are often inspected using specially manufactured test equipmentBoth systems pro-vide test results for third party systems This data is read in and saved for the circuit board The repair of defective circuit boardsassemblies is carried out using CDA The user is shown the test results files to assist with the repair process

INTRODUCINGPRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

Many production companies have set themselves a goal of avoiding wastage The exact source of this wastage in production halls however often belies a vague assumption Cost-saving and process optimization rely on in-depth knowledge of the production process in order to lead to a sustainable in-crease in competitiveness MESMOM systems help achieve a continuous improvement of the production process closing the information gap between ERPPPC systems and the shop floor level

Further arguments for the use of MESMOM software solutions can be iden-tified as follows In addition to achieving a long-term improvement of classic target values such as cycle times productivity and utilization the software is also able to harness planning quality potentials The MESMOM software is able to provide the user with the data in real-time enabling prompt reaction and rapid flexible intervention in the production process as required Further-more fully-integrated MES improve process reliability reducing interface loss and avoiding the costly operation of a string of stand-alone solutions A num-ber of companies attempt to map their production processes using ERPPPC systems While these efforts fail for a number of reasons this is ultimately due to the complex nature of the majority of production processes This complexity leaves many ERPPPC systems unable to visualize the relevant production processes The systems are seldom able to monitor utilization leading to cost-intensive attempts to obtain the required information

IBS AG offers a cross-sector product suite for the MESMOM segment To IBS MESMOM embodies more than just the planning and control maximum utilization of machine capacities and resources and the control of variants It also involves a reduction in inventories a lowering of rework costs optimiza-tion of the product development integration and Product-in-Use processes reject minimization and last but not least the complete traceability of prod-ucts components and batches

INTRODUCING PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

The development of further cost-saving potentials in the field of production management is being progressively directed towards autonomous control loops and a vertically and horizontally integrated IT system environment The increasing interlocking of shop floor MES and ERP-level systems with machinery and process control within the scope of Industry 40 has led to a notable increase in production process transparency The resulting optimiza-tion strategies for machine utilization and process parameter monitoring at MES level and the use of autonomous processing centres - Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS) - unleash up to a 30 increase in added value

Efficient MES solutions are a basic prerequisite for the cost-efficient dynamic interaction of logistics and process chains The appeal of such systems lies in the relatively easily-achieved harmonization of shop floor and facility manage-ment at MES level which enables the simple bidirectional consolidation and real-time analysis of shop floor level data and managed by the superordinate ERP system (co-ordination level) at the MES level

MESMOM development is heading towards modular standard systems which within the scope of a short implementation phase can be optimally ex-panded to suit a wide range of operating conditions and increasing customer requirements using parametrization or simple modification There is no need for time-consuming reprogramming the system is quickly expandable and flexible in terms of use

IBS products are already Production 2020-compatible and constitute a key component of Industry 40 They are available for all sizes of company and all types of industry and can be implemented on a cross-site basis enabling them to meet the requirements of global operators

The MES solution maps and safeguards global supply chains The automatic acquisition of all production process data ensures the straightforward prepa-ration of data for reports and other analyses Powerful analysis tools enable a clear increase in production line productivity and the efficient utilization thereof enabling more efficient use of the existing IT environment and plant machinery

Fine Planning Main Control

PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

Benefits

The optimization of deadline adherence requires im-proved fine planning and transparency of current product events Reliable fine planning relies upon the systems used having a close proximity to the production ERP systems with their limited flexibility are unable to fulfil this criteria A powerful interfacing level and a Manufac-turing Execution System (MES) are thus requiredThe orders production orders or operations transmitted from the leading ERP system for fine planning are sched-uled in the production process either manually semi-au-tomatically or automatically within a time frame of a number of days to a few weeks or even months At the same time the defined planning rules and availability of resources and capacities are checked Production orders or operations that cannot be planned without conflict re-main in the work list The planner is notified of the conflict in order to find a solution The main control feature also assists the planner in finding the solution The planning process is carried out under consideration of the currently available production capacities and resources as well as delivery dates The Main Control module plans produc-tion processes optimising machining sequences for the achievement of short cycle times The freely user-defin-able planning rules can be applied to achieve optimiza-tions in many of the production areas The reduction of set-up times and associated set-up costs are shown here as an example along with the optimization of machine and resource utilization

Operational Data Acquisition (ODA)

Reliable planning principles are essential to achieving effective and efficient production management A key role is also played by the actual operating and machine deployment data and the rapid feedback of this inform to the MES

IBS operational data acquisition module is a powerful standard software tool that can be individually adapted to meet company-specific framework conditions It offers a wide variety of solution possibilities for the management of various tasks in the production area based on the latest data from the areas of production planning pro-duction control and order processing The recording of running times batch and serial numbers process param-eters personnel and production figures (OKNOKrework and reject) and machine downtimes along with the re-spective reasons (eg tooling set-up machine error) form the basis for order tracking If a PPC system is present a bidirectional exchange of data takes place between the PPC system and the ODA (Operational Data Acqui-sition) module A specially developed operator menu offers simplified function button operation for optimized ergonomics especially where touch-screens are in use The operator is also able to view the instructions on the production steps and associated documents at any time

When used in conjunction with further modules from the IBS product range the tool also ensures the complete traceability of products components materials and auxil-lary materials on a batch and serial-number basis

Traceability has the task of establishing and maintaining transparency throughout the production process and the further deployment of manufactured products Informa-tion on the components used and the materials of which these comprise is required from both the supplier and the companys own production department This information is then supplemented by the employee

Information on the batch used is also required along with the products used and their serial numbers the current production data and parameters any problems arising during the production process any rework carried out and any other events relevant to the product This data must be accessible on a historicized basis to ensure transparency of the respective components and end product at all times

The IBS MES solution supports the ideal workflow If a problem is reported by a customer or supplier or arises from an internal production step the cause of the problem and the process in question are identified with the help of the traceability system

IBSprisma and CAQ=QSYS provide online production process data on the process and quality status for anal-ysis purposes The problem removal is then carried out from a top-down basis in accordance with the results The traceability tool is then used to determine which other products were manufactured in accordance with the defective process conditions during the period in question (based on either batch or serial number) which custom-ers have already received defective products which con-signments were affected and in which containers these consignments were delivered (bottom-up)

This fulfils all required criteria for the launch of a targeted recall campaign It is also possible to identify products which have not yet been delivered at the touch of a button

Traceability software helps ascertain which parts were assembled in which products at what time and at which location as well

as providing information on the production conditions (in-house or external) and delivery destination

Process SupportOnce integrated with the respective ERP system the IBS MES solution is alerted to the incoming goods entry This entry leads to the automatic creation of an inspection order to enable data acquisition in the incoming goods area A unique label can then be applied to each pack using IBStraceability The following pack information inter alia is directly recorded prior to label printing

Quantity Shelf life Date code

In some cases the information applied to the pack by the supplier may be in the form of a PDF417 code The advantage of this type of identification is that it enables the capture of several types of information with a single scan Storage of the delivered materials is usually man-aged by existing warehouse management systems on the customers premises A further possibility would be the use of IBStraceability which would enable the marriage of a warehouse slotarea ID with the previously generated pack ID

Paperless Repair with CDA (Component - Defect Acquisition - Repair Processing)Defects detected during the visual inspection (automatic or manual) are entered into the repair loop Following input of the defective assembly (by scanning in the serial number) in the CDA module the user is shown a graph-ical view enabling the repair to be carried out faster and with greater precision

Input defective components can be visualized by clicking on the parts list (BOM) in the CAD drawing and vice ver-sa Saving the defects input here automatically generates a complaint in the Quality Management module for Con-cern and Complaint Management The module is also able to carry out comprehensive evaluations

ICT and Function TestersThe In-Circuit Test (ICT) is a test procedure carried out for electronic devices and mounted circuit boards in the electronics industry After being placed on or in a special inspection adapter the mounted circuit board is then checked for conductor track (such as short-circuiting or breaks) soldering and component defects Complete circuit blocks (clusters) can also be tested

The function test (FCT also known as the functional test) is used to inspect or check a product or system in terms of its functional requirements The test assesses not only the nominal behavior but also possible malfunc-tions within the scope of a cross-check Assemblies and devices subject to FCT tests are often inspected using specially manufactured test equipmentBoth systems pro-vide test results for third party systems This data is read in and saved for the circuit board The repair of defective circuit boardsassemblies is carried out using CDA The user is shown the test results files to assist with the repair process

INTRODUCINGPRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

Many production companies have set themselves a goal of avoiding wastage The exact source of this wastage in production halls however often belies a vague assumption Cost-saving and process optimization rely on in-depth knowledge of the production process in order to lead to a sustainable in-crease in competitiveness MESMOM systems help achieve a continuous improvement of the production process closing the information gap between ERPPPC systems and the shop floor level

Further arguments for the use of MESMOM software solutions can be iden-tified as follows In addition to achieving a long-term improvement of classic target values such as cycle times productivity and utilization the software is also able to harness planning quality potentials The MESMOM software is able to provide the user with the data in real-time enabling prompt reaction and rapid flexible intervention in the production process as required Further-more fully-integrated MES improve process reliability reducing interface loss and avoiding the costly operation of a string of stand-alone solutions A num-ber of companies attempt to map their production processes using ERPPPC systems While these efforts fail for a number of reasons this is ultimately due to the complex nature of the majority of production processes This complexity leaves many ERPPPC systems unable to visualize the relevant production processes The systems are seldom able to monitor utilization leading to cost-intensive attempts to obtain the required information

IBS AG offers a cross-sector product suite for the MESMOM segment To IBS MESMOM embodies more than just the planning and control maximum utilization of machine capacities and resources and the control of variants It also involves a reduction in inventories a lowering of rework costs optimiza-tion of the product development integration and Product-in-Use processes reject minimization and last but not least the complete traceability of prod-ucts components and batches

INTRODUCING PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

The development of further cost-saving potentials in the field of production management is being progressively directed towards autonomous control loops and a vertically and horizontally integrated IT system environment The increasing interlocking of shop floor MES and ERP-level systems with machinery and process control within the scope of Industry 40 has led to a notable increase in production process transparency The resulting optimiza-tion strategies for machine utilization and process parameter monitoring at MES level and the use of autonomous processing centres - Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS) - unleash up to a 30 increase in added value

Efficient MES solutions are a basic prerequisite for the cost-efficient dynamic interaction of logistics and process chains The appeal of such systems lies in the relatively easily-achieved harmonization of shop floor and facility manage-ment at MES level which enables the simple bidirectional consolidation and real-time analysis of shop floor level data and managed by the superordinate ERP system (co-ordination level) at the MES level

MESMOM development is heading towards modular standard systems which within the scope of a short implementation phase can be optimally ex-panded to suit a wide range of operating conditions and increasing customer requirements using parametrization or simple modification There is no need for time-consuming reprogramming the system is quickly expandable and flexible in terms of use

IBS products are already Production 2020-compatible and constitute a key component of Industry 40 They are available for all sizes of company and all types of industry and can be implemented on a cross-site basis enabling them to meet the requirements of global operators

The MES solution maps and safeguards global supply chains The automatic acquisition of all production process data ensures the straightforward prepa-ration of data for reports and other analyses Powerful analysis tools enable a clear increase in production line productivity and the efficient utilization thereof enabling more efficient use of the existing IT environment and plant machinery

PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

Benefits

The optimization of deadline adherence requires im-proved fine planning and transparency of current product events Reliable fine planning relies upon the systems used having a close proximity to the production ERP systems with their limited flexibility are unable to fulfil this criteria A powerful interfacing level and a Manufac-turing Execution System (MES) are thus requiredThe orders production orders or operations transmitted from the leading ERP system for fine planning are sched-uled in the production process either manually semi-au-tomatically or automatically within a time frame of a number of days to a few weeks or even months At the same time the defined planning rules and availability of resources and capacities are checked Production orders or operations that cannot be planned without conflict re-main in the work list The planner is notified of the conflict in order to find a solution The main control feature also assists the planner in finding the solution The planning process is carried out under consideration of the currently available production capacities and resources as well as delivery dates The Main Control module plans produc-tion processes optimising machining sequences for the achievement of short cycle times The freely user-defin-able planning rules can be applied to achieve optimiza-tions in many of the production areas The reduction of set-up times and associated set-up costs are shown here as an example along with the optimization of machine and resource utilization

Traceability has the task of establishing and maintaining transparency throughout the production process and the further deployment of manufactured products Informa-tion on the components used and the materials of which these comprise is required from both the supplier and the companys own production department This information is then supplemented by the employee

Information on the batch used is also required along with the products used and their serial numbers the current production data and parameters any problems arising during the production process any rework carried out and any other events relevant to the product This data must be accessible on a historicized basis to ensure transparency of the respective components and end product at all times

The IBS MES solution supports the ideal workflow If a problem is reported by a customer or supplier or arises from an internal production step the cause of the problem and the process in question are identified with the help of the traceability system

IBSprisma and CAQ=QSYS provide online production process data on the process and quality status for anal-ysis purposes The problem removal is then carried out from a top-down basis in accordance with the results The traceability tool is then used to determine which other products were manufactured in accordance with the defective process conditions during the period in question (based on either batch or serial number) which custom-ers have already received defective products which con-signments were affected and in which containers these consignments were delivered (bottom-up)

This fulfils all required criteria for the launch of a targeted recall campaign It is also possible to identify products which have not yet been delivered at the touch of a button

Traceability software helps ascertain which parts were assembled in which products at what time and at which location as well

as providing information on the production conditions (in-house or external) and delivery destination

Process SupportOnce integrated with the respective ERP system the IBS MES solution is alerted to the incoming goods entry This entry leads to the automatic creation of an inspection order to enable data acquisition in the incoming goods area A unique label can then be applied to each pack using IBStraceability The following pack information inter alia is directly recorded prior to label printing

Quantity Shelf life Date code

In some cases the information applied to the pack by the supplier may be in the form of a PDF417 code The advantage of this type of identification is that it enables the capture of several types of information with a single scan Storage of the delivered materials is usually man-aged by existing warehouse management systems on the customers premises A further possibility would be the use of IBStraceability which would enable the marriage of a warehouse slotarea ID with the previously generated pack ID

Paperless Repair with CDA (Component - Defect Acquisition - Repair Processing)Defects detected during the visual inspection (automatic or manual) are entered into the repair loop Following input of the defective assembly (by scanning in the serial number) in the CDA module the user is shown a graph-ical view enabling the repair to be carried out faster and with greater precision

Input defective components can be visualized by clicking on the parts list (BOM) in the CAD drawing and vice ver-sa Saving the defects input here automatically generates a complaint in the Quality Management module for Con-cern and Complaint Management The module is also able to carry out comprehensive evaluations

ICT and Function TestersThe In-Circuit Test (ICT) is a test procedure carried out for electronic devices and mounted circuit boards in the electronics industry After being placed on or in a special inspection adapter the mounted circuit board is then checked for conductor track (such as short-circuiting or breaks) soldering and component defects Complete circuit blocks (clusters) can also be tested

The function test (FCT also known as the functional test) is used to inspect or check a product or system in terms of its functional requirements The test assesses not only the nominal behavior but also possible malfunc-tions within the scope of a cross-check Assemblies and devices subject to FCT tests are often inspected using specially manufactured test equipmentBoth systems pro-vide test results for third party systems This data is read in and saved for the circuit board The repair of defective circuit boardsassemblies is carried out using CDA The user is shown the test results files to assist with the repair process

INTRODUCING PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

The development of further cost-saving potentials in the field of production management is being progressively directed towards autonomous control loops and a vertically and horizontally integrated IT system environment The increasing interlocking of shop floor MES and ERP-level systems with machinery and process control within the scope of Industry 40 has led to a notable increase in production process transparency The resulting optimiza-tion strategies for machine utilization and process parameter monitoring at MES level and the use of autonomous processing centres - Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS) - unleash up to a 30 increase in added value

Efficient MES solutions are a basic prerequisite for the cost-efficient dynamic interaction of logistics and process chains The appeal of such systems lies in the relatively easily-achieved harmonization of shop floor and facility manage-ment at MES level which enables the simple bidirectional consolidation and real-time analysis of shop floor level data and managed by the superordinate ERP system (co-ordination level) at the MES level

MESMOM development is heading towards modular standard systems which within the scope of a short implementation phase can be optimally ex-panded to suit a wide range of operating conditions and increasing customer requirements using parametrization or simple modification There is no need for time-consuming reprogramming the system is quickly expandable and flexible in terms of use

IBS products are already Production 2020-compatible and constitute a key component of Industry 40 They are available for all sizes of company and all types of industry and can be implemented on a cross-site basis enabling them to meet the requirements of global operators

The MES solution maps and safeguards global supply chains The automatic acquisition of all production process data ensures the straightforward prepa-ration of data for reports and other analyses Powerful analysis tools enable a clear increase in production line productivity and the efficient utilization thereof enabling more efficient use of the existing IT environment and plant machinery

Fine Planning Main Control

PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

Benefits

The optimization of deadline adherence requires im-proved fine planning and transparency of current product events Reliable fine planning relies upon the systems used having a close proximity to the production ERP systems with their limited flexibility are unable to fulfil this criteria A powerful interfacing level and a Manufac-turing Execution System (MES) are thus requiredThe orders production orders or operations transmitted from the leading ERP system for fine planning are sched-uled in the production process either manually semi-au-tomatically or automatically within a time frame of a number of days to a few weeks or even months At the same time the defined planning rules and availability of resources and capacities are checked Production orders or operations that cannot be planned without conflict re-main in the work list The planner is notified of the conflict in order to find a solution The main control feature also assists the planner in finding the solution The planning process is carried out under consideration of the currently available production capacities and resources as well as delivery dates The Main Control module plans produc-tion processes optimising machining sequences for the achievement of short cycle times The freely user-defin-able planning rules can be applied to achieve optimiza-tions in many of the production areas The reduction of set-up times and associated set-up costs are shown here as an example along with the optimization of machine and resource utilization

Traceability has the task of establishing and maintaining transparency throughout the production process and the further deployment of manufactured products Informa-tion on the components used and the materials of which these comprise is required from both the supplier and the companys own production department This information is then supplemented by the employee

Information on the batch used is also required along with the products used and their serial numbers the current production data and parameters any problems arising during the production process any rework carried out and any other events relevant to the product This data must be accessible on a historicized basis to ensure transparency of the respective components and end product at all times

The IBS MES solution supports the ideal workflow If a problem is reported by a customer or supplier or arises from an internal production step the cause of the problem and the process in question are identified with the help of the traceability system

IBSprisma and CAQ=QSYS provide online production process data on the process and quality status for anal-ysis purposes The problem removal is then carried out from a top-down basis in accordance with the results The traceability tool is then used to determine which other products were manufactured in accordance with the defective process conditions during the period in question (based on either batch or serial number) which custom-ers have already received defective products which con-signments were affected and in which containers these consignments were delivered (bottom-up)

This fulfils all required criteria for the launch of a targeted recall campaign It is also possible to identify products which have not yet been delivered at the touch of a button

Traceability software helps ascertain which parts were assembled in which products at what time and at which location as well

as providing information on the production conditions (in-house or external) and delivery destination

Process SupportOnce integrated with the respective ERP system the IBS MES solution is alerted to the incoming goods entry This entry leads to the automatic creation of an inspection order to enable data acquisition in the incoming goods area A unique label can then be applied to each pack using IBStraceability The following pack information inter alia is directly recorded prior to label printing

Quantity Shelf life Date code

In some cases the information applied to the pack by the supplier may be in the form of a PDF417 code The advantage of this type of identification is that it enables the capture of several types of information with a single scan Storage of the delivered materials is usually man-aged by existing warehouse management systems on the customers premises A further possibility would be the use of IBStraceability which would enable the marriage of a warehouse slotarea ID with the previously generated pack ID

Paperless Repair with CDA (Component - Defect Acquisition - Repair Processing)Defects detected during the visual inspection (automatic or manual) are entered into the repair loop Following input of the defective assembly (by scanning in the serial number) in the CDA module the user is shown a graph-ical view enabling the repair to be carried out faster and with greater precision

Input defective components can be visualized by clicking on the parts list (BOM) in the CAD drawing and vice ver-sa Saving the defects input here automatically generates a complaint in the Quality Management module for Con-cern and Complaint Management The module is also able to carry out comprehensive evaluations

ICT and Function TestersThe In-Circuit Test (ICT) is a test procedure carried out for electronic devices and mounted circuit boards in the electronics industry After being placed on or in a special inspection adapter the mounted circuit board is then checked for conductor track (such as short-circuiting or breaks) soldering and component defects Complete circuit blocks (clusters) can also be tested

The function test (FCT also known as the functional test) is used to inspect or check a product or system in terms of its functional requirements The test assesses not only the nominal behavior but also possible malfunc-tions within the scope of a cross-check Assemblies and devices subject to FCT tests are often inspected using specially manufactured test equipmentBoth systems pro-vide test results for third party systems This data is read in and saved for the circuit board The repair of defective circuit boardsassemblies is carried out using CDA The user is shown the test results files to assist with the repair process

Benefits

The optimization of deadline adherence requires im-proved fine planning and transparency of current product events Reliable fine planning relies upon the systems used having a close proximity to the production ERP systems with their limited flexibility are unable to fulfil this criteria A powerful interfacing level and a Manufac-turing Execution System (MES) are thus requiredThe orders production orders or operations transmitted from the leading ERP system for fine planning are sched-uled in the production process either manually semi-au-tomatically or automatically within a time frame of a number of days to a few weeks or even months At the same time the defined planning rules and availability of resources and capacities are checked Production orders or operations that cannot be planned without conflict re-main in the work list The planner is notified of the conflict in order to find a solution The main control feature also assists the planner in finding the solution The planning process is carried out under consideration of the currently available production capacities and resources as well as delivery dates The Main Control module plans produc-tion processes optimising machining sequences for the achievement of short cycle times The freely user-defin-able planning rules can be applied to achieve optimiza-tions in many of the production areas The reduction of set-up times and associated set-up costs are shown here as an example along with the optimization of machine and resource utilization

Traceability has the task of establishing and maintaining transparency throughout the production process and the further deployment of manufactured products Informa-tion on the components used and the materials of which these comprise is required from both the supplier and the companys own production department This information is then supplemented by the employee

Information on the batch used is also required along with the products used and their serial numbers the current production data and parameters any problems arising during the production process any rework carried out and any other events relevant to the product This data must be accessible on a historicized basis to ensure transparency of the respective components and end product at all times

The IBS MES solution supports the ideal workflow If a problem is reported by a customer or supplier or arises from an internal production step the cause of the problem and the process in question are identified with the help of the traceability system

IBSprisma and CAQ=QSYS provide online production process data on the process and quality status for anal-ysis purposes The problem removal is then carried out from a top-down basis in accordance with the results The traceability tool is then used to determine which other products were manufactured in accordance with the defective process conditions during the period in question (based on either batch or serial number) which custom-ers have already received defective products which con-signments were affected and in which containers these consignments were delivered (bottom-up)

This fulfils all required criteria for the launch of a targeted recall campaign It is also possible to identify products which have not yet been delivered at the touch of a button

Traceability software helps ascertain which parts were assembled in which products at what time and at which location as well

as providing information on the production conditions (in-house or external) and delivery destination

Process SupportOnce integrated with the respective ERP system the IBS MES solution is alerted to the incoming goods entry This entry leads to the automatic creation of an inspection order to enable data acquisition in the incoming goods area A unique label can then be applied to each pack using IBStraceability The following pack information inter alia is directly recorded prior to label printing

Quantity Shelf life Date code

In some cases the information applied to the pack by the supplier may be in the form of a PDF417 code The advantage of this type of identification is that it enables the capture of several types of information with a single scan Storage of the delivered materials is usually man-aged by existing warehouse management systems on the customers premises A further possibility would be the use of IBStraceability which would enable the marriage of a warehouse slotarea ID with the previously generated pack ID

Paperless Repair with CDA (Component - Defect Acquisition - Repair Processing)Defects detected during the visual inspection (automatic or manual) are entered into the repair loop Following input of the defective assembly (by scanning in the serial number) in the CDA module the user is shown a graph-ical view enabling the repair to be carried out faster and with greater precision

Input defective components can be visualized by clicking on the parts list (BOM) in the CAD drawing and vice ver-sa Saving the defects input here automatically generates a complaint in the Quality Management module for Con-cern and Complaint Management The module is also able to carry out comprehensive evaluations

ICT and Function TestersThe In-Circuit Test (ICT) is a test procedure carried out for electronic devices and mounted circuit boards in the electronics industry After being placed on or in a special inspection adapter the mounted circuit board is then checked for conductor track (such as short-circuiting or breaks) soldering and component defects Complete circuit blocks (clusters) can also be tested

The function test (FCT also known as the functional test) is used to inspect or check a product or system in terms of its functional requirements The test assesses not only the nominal behavior but also possible malfunc-tions within the scope of a cross-check Assemblies and devices subject to FCT tests are often inspected using specially manufactured test equipmentBoth systems pro-vide test results for third party systems This data is read in and saved for the circuit board The repair of defective circuit boardsassemblies is carried out using CDA The user is shown the test results files to assist with the repair process

Traceability has the task of establishing and maintaining transparency throughout the production process and the further deployment of manufactured products Informa-tion on the components used and the materials of which these comprise is required from both the supplier and the companys own production department This information is then supplemented by the employee

Information on the batch used is also required along with the products used and their serial numbers the current production data and parameters any problems arising during the production process any rework carried out and any other events relevant to the product This data must be accessible on a historicized basis to ensure transparency of the respective components and end product at all times

The IBS MES solution supports the ideal workflow If a problem is reported by a customer or supplier or arises from an internal production step the cause of the problem and the process in question are identified with the help of the traceability system

IBSprisma and CAQ=QSYS provide online production process data on the process and quality status for anal-ysis purposes The problem removal is then carried out from a top-down basis in accordance with the results The traceability tool is then used to determine which other products were manufactured in accordance with the defective process conditions during the period in question (based on either batch or serial number) which custom-ers have already received defective products which con-signments were affected and in which containers these consignments were delivered (bottom-up)

This fulfils all required criteria for the launch of a targeted recall campaign It is also possible to identify products which have not yet been delivered at the touch of a button

Traceability software helps ascertain which parts were assembled in which products at what time and at which location as well

as providing information on the production conditions (in-house or external) and delivery destination

Process SupportOnce integrated with the respective ERP system the IBS MES solution is alerted to the incoming goods entry This entry leads to the automatic creation of an inspection order to enable data acquisition in the incoming goods area A unique label can then be applied to each pack using IBStraceability The following pack information inter alia is directly recorded prior to label printing

Quantity Shelf life Date code

In some cases the information applied to the pack by the supplier may be in the form of a PDF417 code The advantage of this type of identification is that it enables the capture of several types of information with a single scan Storage of the delivered materials is usually man-aged by existing warehouse management systems on the customers premises A further possibility would be the use of IBStraceability which would enable the marriage of a warehouse slotarea ID with the previously generated pack ID

Paperless Repair with CDA (Component - Defect Acquisition - Repair Processing)Defects detected during the visual inspection (automatic or manual) are entered into the repair loop Following input of the defective assembly (by scanning in the serial number) in the CDA module the user is shown a graph-ical view enabling the repair to be carried out faster and with greater precision

Input defective components can be visualized by clicking on the parts list (BOM) in the CAD drawing and vice ver-sa Saving the defects input here automatically generates a complaint in the Quality Management module for Con-cern and Complaint Management The module is also able to carry out comprehensive evaluations

ICT and Function TestersThe In-Circuit Test (ICT) is a test procedure carried out for electronic devices and mounted circuit boards in the electronics industry After being placed on or in a special inspection adapter the mounted circuit board is then checked for conductor track (such as short-circuiting or breaks) soldering and component defects Complete circuit blocks (clusters) can also be tested

The function test (FCT also known as the functional test) is used to inspect or check a product or system in terms of its functional requirements The test assesses not only the nominal behavior but also possible malfunc-tions within the scope of a cross-check Assemblies and devices subject to FCT tests are often inspected using specially manufactured test equipmentBoth systems pro-vide test results for third party systems This data is read in and saved for the circuit board The repair of defective circuit boardsassemblies is carried out using CDA The user is shown the test results files to assist with the repair process

PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

Resource Management RoutingOrder Management

Resource management planning is carried out on the basis of the personnel machines materials tools and gages scheduled for the order and in accordance with the planning sequence of operations involved in the production processThe resources used and the produc-tion progress are recorded during production to ensure complete traceability Up-to-the-minute reliable feedback enables precise real-time planning ensuring adherence deadlines and a high degree of cost-efficiency

The system analyzes the resource requirement in relation to the operations and their scheduling order and then controls their availability on a just-in-time basis

All resources can be allocated using a combination of parts and machines This allocation enables the unique specification of resources for orders and work schedules as well as ensuring the complete traceability As soon as a resource is modified in any way eg with a change of version number all work schedules affected by this modification are updated accordingly Once confirmed change management is activated and the resource in question contained the work schedule is replaced with the new one

Traceability has the task of establishing and maintaining transparency throughout the production process and the further deployment of manufactured products Informa-tion on the components used and the materials of which these comprise is required from both the supplier and the companys own production department This information is then supplemented by the employee

Information on the batch used is also required along with the products used and their serial numbers the current production data and parameters any problems arising during the production process any rework carried out and any other events relevant to the product This data must be accessible on a historicized basis to ensure transparency of the respective components and end product at all times

The IBS MES solution supports the ideal workflow If a problem is reported by a customer or supplier or arises from an internal production step the cause of the problem and the process in question are identified with the help of the traceability system

IBSprisma and CAQ=QSYS provide online production process data on the process and quality status for anal-ysis purposes The problem removal is then carried out from a top-down basis in accordance with the results The traceability tool is then used to determine which other products were manufactured in accordance with the defective process conditions during the period in question (based on either batch or serial number) which custom-ers have already received defective products which con-signments were affected and in which containers these consignments were delivered (bottom-up)

This fulfils all required criteria for the launch of a targeted recall campaign It is also possible to identify products which have not yet been delivered at the touch of a button

Traceability software helps ascertain which parts were assembled in which products at what time and at which location as well

as providing information on the production conditions (in-house or external) and delivery destination

Traceability has the task of establishing and maintaining transparency throughout the production process and the further deployment of manufactured products Informa-tion on the components used and the materials of which these comprise is required from both the supplier and the companys own production department This information is then supplemented by the employee

Information on the batch used is also required along with the products used and their serial numbers the current production data and parameters any problems arising during the production process any rework carried out and any other events relevant to the product This data must be accessible on a historicized basis to ensure transparency of the respective components and end product at all times

The IBS MES solution supports the ideal workflow If a problem is reported by a customer or supplier or arises from an internal production step the cause of the problem and the process in question are identified with the help of the traceability system

IBSprisma and CAQ=QSYS provide online production process data on the process and quality status for anal-ysis purposes The problem removal is then carried out from a top-down basis in accordance with the results The traceability tool is then used to determine which other products were manufactured in accordance with the defective process conditions during the period in question (based on either batch or serial number) which custom-ers have already received defective products which con-signments were affected and in which containers these consignments were delivered (bottom-up)

This fulfils all required criteria for the launch of a targeted recall campaign It is also possible to identify products which have not yet been delivered at the touch of a button

Traceability software helps ascertain which parts were assembled in which products at what time and at which location as well

as providing information on the production conditions (in-house or external) and delivery destination

MESMOM IN THE ELECTRONICS MANUFACTURING SERVICES (EMS) INDUSTRY

IBS MES Software in the Electronics Industry

Benefits

Modern electronics manufacturing involves fully-automat-ed high-speed processes Since the electronics industry is required to precisely document the assembly of each individual component including circuit board mounting all production steps and subsequent data must be record-ed IBS AG software is capable of carrying out all aspects of fully-automated data acquisition and administration

Optimal Production PlanningThe profitable operation of capital-intensive plants such as clean rooms relies on full capacity production plan-ning IBS production management software facilitates the optimal planning and utilization of production resources The quality management modules enable regulatory process intervention

Zero Defect ToleranceIBS AG solutions provide optimum support in the manu-facture of electronic assemblies and devices With solu-tions specially directed towards EMS service providers inter alia IBS AG provides optimal process optimization supportIn order to achieve this IBS AG solutions cover the entire process from machine set-up to the use of SMDs (surface-mounted devices) and THT (through-the-hole technology) mounting as well as downstream inspection strategies such as ICT AOI and Paperless Repair Direct integration with the respective ERP system enables the use of operation-specific parts lists inter alia for repair loopsDirect integration with the respective ERP system en-ables the use of operation-specific parts lists inter alia for repair loopsIntegration of the respective tester with standard CAD systems from the field of electronics en-ables optimal repair process support

Process SupportOnce integrated with the respective ERP system the IBS MES solution is alerted to the incoming goods entry This entry leads to the automatic creation of an inspection order to enable data acquisition in the incoming goods area A unique label can then be applied to each pack using IBStraceability The following pack information inter alia is directly recorded prior to label printing

Quantity Shelf life Date code

In some cases the information applied to the pack by the supplier may be in the form of a PDF417 code The advantage of this type of identification is that it enables the capture of several types of information with a single scan Storage of the delivered materials is usually man-aged by existing warehouse management systems on the customers premises A further possibility would be the use of IBStraceability which would enable the marriage of a warehouse slotarea ID with the previously generated pack ID

Paperless Repair with CDA (Component - Defect Acquisition - Repair Processing)Defects detected during the visual inspection (automatic or manual) are entered into the repair loop Following input of the defective assembly (by scanning in the serial number) in the CDA module the user is shown a graph-ical view enabling the repair to be carried out faster and with greater precision

Input defective components can be visualized by clicking on the parts list (BOM) in the CAD drawing and vice ver-sa Saving the defects input here automatically generates a complaint in the Quality Management module for Con-cern and Complaint Management The module is also able to carry out comprehensive evaluations

ICT and Function TestersThe In-Circuit Test (ICT) is a test procedure carried out for electronic devices and mounted circuit boards in the electronics industry After being placed on or in a special inspection adapter the mounted circuit board is then checked for conductor track (such as short-circuiting or breaks) soldering and component defects Complete circuit blocks (clusters) can also be tested

The function test (FCT also known as the functional test) is used to inspect or check a product or system in terms of its functional requirements The test assesses not only the nominal behavior but also possible malfunc-tions within the scope of a cross-check Assemblies and devices subject to FCT tests are often inspected using specially manufactured test equipmentBoth systems pro-vide test results for third party systems This data is read in and saved for the circuit board The repair of defective circuit boardsassemblies is carried out using CDA The user is shown the test results files to assist with the repair process

Traceability has the task of establishing and maintaining transparency throughout the production process and the further deployment of manufactured products Informa-tion on the components used and the materials of which these comprise is required from both the supplier and the companys own production department This information is then supplemented by the employee

Information on the batch used is also required along with the products used and their serial numbers the current production data and parameters any problems arising during the production process any rework carried out and any other events relevant to the product This data must be accessible on a historicized basis to ensure transparency of the respective components and end product at all times

The IBS MES solution supports the ideal workflow If a problem is reported by a customer or supplier or arises from an internal production step the cause of the problem and the process in question are identified with the help of the traceability system

IBSprisma and CAQ=QSYS provide online production process data on the process and quality status for anal-ysis purposes The problem removal is then carried out from a top-down basis in accordance with the results The traceability tool is then used to determine which other products were manufactured in accordance with the defective process conditions during the period in question (based on either batch or serial number) which custom-ers have already received defective products which con-signments were affected and in which containers these consignments were delivered (bottom-up)

This fulfils all required criteria for the launch of a targeted recall campaign It is also possible to identify products which have not yet been delivered at the touch of a button

Traceability software helps ascertain which parts were assembled in which products at what time and at which location as well

as providing information on the production conditions (in-house or external) and delivery destination

MESMOM IN THE ELECTRONICS MANUFACTURING SERVICES (EMS) INDUSTRY

IBS MES Software in the Electronics Industry

Benefits

Modern electronics manufacturing involves fully-automat-ed high-speed processes Since the electronics industry is required to precisely document the assembly of each individual component including circuit board mounting all production steps and subsequent data must be record-ed IBS AG software is capable of carrying out all aspects of fully-automated data acquisition and administration

Optimal Production PlanningThe profitable operation of capital-intensive plants such as clean rooms relies on full capacity production plan-ning IBS production management software facilitates the optimal planning and utilization of production resources The quality management modules enable regulatory process intervention

Zero Defect ToleranceIBS AG solutions provide optimum support in the manu-facture of electronic assemblies and devices With solu-tions specially directed towards EMS service providers inter alia IBS AG provides optimal process optimization supportIn order to achieve this IBS AG solutions cover the entire process from machine set-up to the use of SMDs (surface-mounted devices) and THT (through-the-hole technology) mounting as well as downstream inspection strategies such as ICT AOI and Paperless Repair Direct integration with the respective ERP system enables the use of operation-specific parts lists inter alia for repair loopsDirect integration with the respective ERP system en-ables the use of operation-specific parts lists inter alia for repair loopsIntegration of the respective tester with standard CAD systems from the field of electronics en-ables optimal repair process support

Process SupportOnce integrated with the respective ERP system the IBS MES solution is alerted to the incoming goods entry This entry leads to the automatic creation of an inspection order to enable data acquisition in the incoming goods area A unique label can then be applied to each pack using IBStraceability The following pack information inter alia is directly recorded prior to label printing

Quantity Shelf life Date code

In some cases the information applied to the pack by the supplier may be in the form of a PDF417 code The advantage of this type of identification is that it enables the capture of several types of information with a single scan Storage of the delivered materials is usually man-aged by existing warehouse management systems on the customers premises A further possibility would be the use of IBStraceability which would enable the marriage of a warehouse slotarea ID with the previously generated pack ID

Paperless Repair with CDA (Component - Defect Acquisition - Repair Processing)Defects detected during the visual inspection (automatic or manual) are entered into the repair loop Following input of the defective assembly (by scanning in the serial number) in the CDA module the user is shown a graph-ical view enabling the repair to be carried out faster and with greater precision

Input defective components can be visualized by clicking on the parts list (BOM) in the CAD drawing and vice ver-sa Saving the defects input here automatically generates a complaint in the Quality Management module for Con-cern and Complaint Management The module is also able to carry out comprehensive evaluations

ICT and Function TestersThe In-Circuit Test (ICT) is a test procedure carried out for electronic devices and mounted circuit boards in the electronics industry After being placed on or in a special inspection adapter the mounted circuit board is then checked for conductor track (such as short-circuiting or breaks) soldering and component defects Complete circuit blocks (clusters) can also be tested

The function test (FCT also known as the functional test) is used to inspect or check a product or system in terms of its functional requirements The test assesses not only the nominal behavior but also possible malfunc-tions within the scope of a cross-check Assemblies and devices subject to FCT tests are often inspected using specially manufactured test equipmentBoth systems pro-vide test results for third party systems This data is read in and saved for the circuit board The repair of defective circuit boardsassemblies is carried out using CDA The user is shown the test results files to assist with the repair process

Cockpit BI is a freely-definable cross-MES analysis and reporting tool

The use of Qlikview enables the more comprehensive analysis of data captured by the IBS system since targeted KPI analysis and the linkage of various forms of informa-tion from the shop floor level offer a great deal of valuable optimization and analysis potential for product life cycle management as a whole and in almost all functional areas of the company This unleashes a much wider range of possibilities for transparent data analysis by the user and improved visualization Furthermore this data may also been combined with supplementary data from other sourc-es to provide an overall analysis

The option enabling the definition of freely configurable fil-ter criteria and the application thereof for reporting purpos-es has now been expanded to include in the form of printed data lists or output as business graphs The captured data can then be grouped as required eg for greater efficiency in the determination of main defects and conspicuities

The list or graph is either printed directly or be transmitted to MS Office products Crystal or Cognos applications The user can also define drill-downs for the individual lists enabling the call-in of the necessary data on a context-rele-vant or analysis-specific basis

COCKPIT BI

The creation of some customer-specific reports requires the use of additional visualization tools which are not included in the standard scope of the software

28

MES develop maximum potential when a large num-ber of measurements are included in the calculation of performance indicators and analyses when these are subject to automatic analysis when the results are clearly visualized and when the need for action is intuitively recognisable

IntegrationIBS software associates maximum importance to the simplest possible integration of identification and process measurement systems such as scanners hand-held devices or cameras and mobile data acquisition devices including PDAs It is already able to meet the emerging

ACQUISITION AND VISUALIZATION

requirements of Industry 40 All assemblies whether supply parts or subject to further processing require consistent and reliable acquisition and identification eg from the top of the supply chain in incoming goods to the end of the value added chain in outgoing goods This is the only way to ensure the efficient production control with legally reliable traceability and optimum capacity utilizationIBS software reliably overcomes this logisti-cal challenge with the linkage of standard solutions for barcode data matrix or RFID identification Standard interfaces enable the rapid and flexible integration of fur-ther mobile end devices and industrial camerasThe IBS software is well-equipped for acquisition and analysis

Cockpit BI is a freely-definable cross-MES analysis and reporting tool

The use of Qlikview enables the more comprehensive analysis of data captured by the IBS system since targeted KPI analysis and the linkage of various forms of informa-tion from the shop floor level offer a great deal of valuable optimization and analysis potential for product life cycle management as a whole and in almost all functional areas of the company This unleashes a much wider range of possibilities for transparent data analysis by the user and improved visualization Furthermore this data may also been combined with supplementary data from other sourc-es to provide an overall analysis

The option enabling the definition of freely configurable fil-ter criteria and the application thereof for reporting purpos-es has now been expanded to include in the form of printed data lists or output as business graphs The captured data can then be grouped as required eg for greater efficiency in the determination of main defects and conspicuities

The list or graph is either printed directly or be transmitted to MS Office products Crystal or Cognos applications The user can also define drill-downs for the individual lists enabling the call-in of the necessary data on a context-rele-vant or analysis-specific basis

MESMOM IN THE ELECTRONICS MANUFACTURING SERVICES (EMS) INDUSTRY

IBS MES Software in the Electronics Industry

Benefits

Modern electronics manufacturing involves fully-automat-ed high-speed processes Since the electronics industry is required to precisely document the assembly of each individual component including circuit board mounting all production steps and subsequent data must be record-ed IBS AG software is capable of carrying out all aspects of fully-automated data acquisition and administration

Optimal Production PlanningThe profitable operation of capital-intensive plants such as clean rooms relies on full capacity production plan-ning IBS production management software facilitates the optimal planning and utilization of production resources The quality management modules enable regulatory process intervention

Zero Defect ToleranceIBS AG solutions provide optimum support in the manu-facture of electronic assemblies and devices With solu-tions specially directed towards EMS service providers inter alia IBS AG provides optimal process optimization supportIn order to achieve this IBS AG solutions cover the entire process from machine set-up to the use of SMDs (surface-mounted devices) and THT (through-the-hole technology) mounting as well as downstream inspection strategies such as ICT AOI and Paperless Repair Direct integration with the respective ERP system enables the use of operation-specific parts lists inter alia for repair loopsDirect integration with the respective ERP system en-ables the use of operation-specific parts lists inter alia for repair loopsIntegration of the respective tester with standard CAD systems from the field of electronics en-ables optimal repair process support

Fully-integratedMESsystemsforthefieldsofProduc-

Process SupportOnce integrated with the respective ERP system the IBS MES solution is alerted to the incoming goods entry This entry leads to the automatic creation of an inspection order to enable data acquisition in the incoming goods area A unique label can then be applied to each pack using IBStraceability The following pack information inter alia is directly recorded prior to label printing

Quantity Shelf life Date code

In some cases the information applied to the pack by the supplier may be in the form of a PDF417 code The advantage of this type of identification is that it enables the capture of several types of information with a single scan Storage of the delivered materials is usually man-aged by existing warehouse management systems on the customers premises A further possibility would be the use of IBStraceability which would enable the marriage of a warehouse slotarea ID with the previously generated pack ID

Paperless Repair with CDA (Component - Defect Acquisition - Repair Processing)Defects detected during the visual inspection (automatic or manual) are entered into the repair loop Following input of the defective assembly (by scanning in the serial number) in the CDA module the user is shown a graph-ical view enabling the repair to be carried out faster and with greater precision

Input defective components can be visualized by clicking on the parts list (BOM) in the CAD drawing and vice ver-sa Saving the defects input here automatically generates a complaint in the Quality Management module for Con-cern and Complaint Management The module is also able to carry out comprehensive evaluations

ICT and Function TestersThe In-Circuit Test (ICT) is a test procedure carried out for electronic devices and mounted circuit boards in the electronics industry After being placed on or in a special inspection adapter the mounted circuit board is then checked for conductor track (such as short-circuiting or breaks) soldering and component defects Complete circuit blocks (clusters) can also be tested

The function test (FCT also known as the functional test) is used to inspect or check a product or system in terms of its functional requirements The test assesses not only the nominal behavior but also possible malfunc-tions within the scope of a cross-check Assemblies and devices subject to FCT tests are often inspected using specially manufactured test equipmentBoth systems pro-vide test results for third party systems This data is read in and saved for the circuit board The repair of defective circuit boardsassemblies is carried out using CDA The user is shown the test results files to assist with the repair process

The function test (FCT also known as the functional test) is used to inspect or check a product or system in terms of its functional requirements The test assesses not only the nominal behavior but also possible malfunc-tions within the scope of a cross-check Assemblies and devices subject to FCT tests are often inspected using specially manufactured test equipmentBoth systems pro-vide test results for third party systems This data is read in and saved for the circuit board The repair of defective circuit boardsassemblies is carried out using CDA The user is shown the test results files to assist with the repair process

Cockpit BI is a freely-definable cross-MES analysis and reporting tool

The use of Qlikview enables the more comprehensive analysis of data captured by the IBS system since targeted KPI analysis and the linkage of various forms of informa-tion from the shop floor level offer a great deal of valuable optimization and analysis potential for product life cycle management as a whole and in almost all functional areas of the company This unleashes a much wider range of possibilities for transparent data analysis by the user and improved visualization Furthermore this data may also been combined with supplementary data from other sourc-es to provide an overall analysis

The option enabling the definition of freely configurable fil-ter criteria and the application thereof for reporting purpos-es has now been expanded to include in the form of printed data lists or output as business graphs The captured data can then be grouped as required eg for greater efficiency in the determination of main defects and conspicuities

The list or graph is either printed directly or be transmitted to MS Office products Crystal or Cognos applications The user can also define drill-downs for the individual lists enabling the call-in of the necessary data on a context-rele-vant or analysis-specific basis

MES develop maximum potential when a large num-ber of measurements are included in the calculation of performance indicators and analyses when these are subject to automatic analysis when the results are clearly visualized and when the need for action is intuitively recognisable

IntegrationIBS software associates maximum importance to the simplest possible integration of identification and process measurement systems such as scanners hand-held devices or cameras and mobile data acquisition devices including PDAs It is already able to meet the emerging

ACQUISITION AND VISUALIZATION

requirements of Industry 40 All assemblies whether supply parts or subject to further processing require consistent and reliable acquisition and identification eg from the top of the supply chain in incoming goods to the end of the value added chain in outgoing goods This is the only way to ensure the efficient production control with legally reliable traceability and optimum capacity utilizationIBS software reliably overcomes this logisti-cal challenge with the linkage of standard solutions for barcode data matrix or RFID identification Standard interfaces enable the rapid and flexible integration of fur-ther mobile end devices and industrial camerasThe IBS software is well-equipped for acquisition and analysis

Cockpit BI is a freely-definable cross-MES analysis and reporting tool

The use of Qlikview enables the more comprehensive analysis of data captured by the IBS system since targeted KPI analysis and the linkage of various forms of informa-tion from the shop floor level offer a great deal of valuable optimization and analysis potential for product life cycle management as a whole and in almost all functional areas of the company This unleashes a much wider range of possibilities for transparent data analysis by the user and improved visualization Furthermore this data may also been combined with supplementary data from other sourc-es to provide an overall analysis

The option enabling the definition of freely configurable fil-ter criteria and the application thereof for reporting purpos-es has now been expanded to include in the form of printed data lists or output as business graphs The captured data can then be grouped as required eg for greater efficiency in the determination of main defects and conspicuities

The list or graph is either printed directly or be transmitted to MS Office products Crystal or Cognos applications The user can also define drill-downs for the individual lists enabling the call-in of the necessary data on a context-rele-vant or analysis-specific basis

The creation of some customer-specific reports requires the use of additional visualization tools which are not included in the standard scope of the software

IntegrationIBS software associates maximum importance to the simplest possible integration of identification and process measurement systems such as scanners hand-held devices or cameras and mobile data acquisition devices including PDAs It is already able to meet the emerging

ACQUISITION AND VISUALIZATION

requirements of Industry 40 All assemblies whether supply parts or subject to further processing require consistent and reliable acquisition and identification eg from the top of the supply chain in incoming goods to the end of the value added chain in outgoing goods This is the only way to ensure the efficient production control with legally reliable traceability and optimum capacity utilizationIBS software reliably overcomes this logisti-cal challenge with the linkage of standard solutions for barcode data matrix or RFID identification Standard interfaces enable the rapid and flexible integration of fur-ther mobile end devices and industrial camerasThe IBS software is well-equipped for acquisition and analysis
