Let's not sugarcoat this. The world's manufacturing base is at war with COVID-19 and its destructive, disruptive effects on everything from supply chains to daily production levels and, ultimately, the health of everyone. Getting ahead of this curve will require a much more aggressive approach to using data.

Human operators once dominated all aspects of the manufacturing landscape. But in an Industry 4.0-driven world, factory operations have become largely hands-free through the adoption of Augmented Reality (AR) technology.

Increase Yields, Quality and Traceability

Whether you're in the market for your first MES or looking to upgrade a legacy solution, understanding key principles and technologies will ensure that you select the right system for your unique needs and requirements.

Nobody's perfect. Even the best trained, most experienced assemblers can make mistakes on the line, especially in high-mix production environments. Fortunately, a variety of software products are available to help prevent assembly errors.

Bosch Rexroth ActiveCockpit brings future-proof production data processing and visualization to the shop floor.

What can MES do for you? And where do you start?? In this white paper, Tutelar Technologies provides some insight into successful strategies they have employed with customers to bring their Ujigami system's active software control and reporting to various manufacturing processes.

Manufacturers in agriculture, mining, petroleum and other industries rely on centrifugal slurry pumps to move thick, particle-filled liquids. These heavy-duty pumps feature a rotating impeller that uses centrifugal force to move water and solids through pipelines over short and medium distances.

Manufacturing execution systems (MES) have been around for quite a while, and there are hundreds of choices out there.

Manufacturers of all sizes have realized the benefits of adding MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems) to their operations. However, the world of MES has grown exponentially and many companies are struggling to take advantage of these new capabilities.
