Manufacturers facecomplex challenges

How do you increase volumeand revenues?

How do you increase qualityand reduce warranty costs?

How do you reduce ramp-uptime and shorten new productintroduction?

How do you increase visibilityto improve real-time decisionmaking?

How do you implementtraceability to comply withregulatory requirements?

The productionmanagement advantage:

More than just a stand-alonepoint solution, TecnomatixMES is part of Siemens PLMSoftware’s strategy to helpyou manage day-to-day plantoperations and remove thebarriers between process design,simulation and execution.Unlike other manufacturingexecution system (MES) vendors,Tecnomatix has the uniqueability to help you meet complexmanufacturing challenges andsupport continuous processimprovement initiatives.

Production management coversthe space between supervisorycontrol and data acquisition(SCADA) and enterpriseresource planning (ERP) with acomplete offering to manage theday-to-day operations of theplant. Unlike other vendors’solutions, Tecnomatix MES hasunique applications to manage allfacets of production and world-class customization capabilities, soyou can “do it your way” butstill take advantage of productenhancements over time.

Be up and running in days – not months

> Knowing helps reduceyour recall risk.

Imagine knowing:

• When and from whom the raw materials were receivedand who received them

• Which materials were used during the production process

• When materials were consumed and who consumed them

• Which equipment was used, by whom and when theywere finished

• Where and when the finished products were shipped

Get connectedTecnomatix MES provides connectivity to a wide variety of shopfloor devices, scanners, automated controllers, OPC-compatiblesystems and FactoryLink, the Tecnomatix system for human-machine interface (HMI) and SCADA.

Quick setupTecnomatix MES provides faster implementation because openstandards, ease-of-use and drag-and-drop functionality facilitate anamazingly fast implementation time.

Room to growTecnomatix MES is inherently scalable, so it is easy to start smalland scale up to a large production management system as yourneeds expand.

Solid foundationTecnomatix MES is a proven product that is already installed in anumber of different industries, such as automotive, electronics, foodand beverage, plastics, semiconductor and specialty metals.

Unlike most custom applications,which are either equipment orproduct centric, Tecnomatix MES provides the ability to view the datafrom several different perspectives, such as by route, product, work inprocess, tools, equipment,material and labor. This ability helps you meetthe needs of the diverse groups in your organization.

Get unparalleled visibility

Fully adaptable and extensibleTecnomatix MES adapts to existing processes rather than requiringmanufacturers to adjust their procedures. This not only makes fora fast implementation time, but it also provides the flexibility to modify asystem as processes change. And, because it is based on Microsoftstandards, Tecnomatix MES can be easily and quickly extended.

Complements ERP and SCM systemsTecnomatix MES complements ERP and SCM systems by capturingmanufacturing data to a level of detail and precision that ERP andSCM systems cannot match. The resulting information allows rapididentification of the cause of problems with fast reaction to limitthe financial impact of these problems.

Major ERP vendors have selected S95 as the standard interfacebetween ERP systems and production management systems.Tecnomatix MES supports S95, so it is easy to integrate with thebest-known ERP packages.

Tecnomatix MES provides real-time visibility by reconciling productiondata with your ERP and SCM systems. With Tecnomatix MES,production order information can move quickly and seamlessly, creatingnew opportunities for cost control, improved efficiency and enhancedcustomer service.

Based on a unique object-oriented process model, TecnomatixMES can help manufacturers:

• View production orders at any time

• Create/change/cancel production orders

• Change production order priority instantly

• Reschedule production orders

Tecnomatix MES supports dynamic production environmentsthat require a high degree of visibility, such as:

• Frequent product changeovers

• Build-to-order products or single-unit lot sizes

• Speed requirements associated with high-volume production

• Frequent new product introductions
