MES

In today’s highly competitive manufacturing landscape, staying ahead of the competition requires more than just producing high-quality products. It requires optimizing production processes and leveraging data-driven insights to make informed decisions. Yet many manufacturers struggle to achieve these goals due to the lack of an effective MES solution. 

At Omnicon, we understand that every manufacturing operation is unique, with its own set of challenges, including limited visibility into operations and asset utilization, difficulty tracking production progress and quality, and inefficient resource allocation. That is why we can offer a full MES implementation for those looking for a comprehensive solution, or a modular and scalable approach for those who want to focus on specific areas such as Performance Management, Tracking and Genealogy, or Production Management.

Whether you choose a full MES implementation or a modular approach, we help our clients with:
Setting targets and monitoring progress through production output, efficiency, quality and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) can help identify areas for improvement such as equipment downtime, production bottlenecks, and material waste.
MES facilitates the tracking of every aspect of the production process, from raw materials to finished goods, ensuring consistent quality and compliance with industry standards and regulations.
MES allows to track the movement of products and materials throughout the production process, from raw materials to finished goods. This level of visibility provides a clear understanding of the origin and quality of products, as well as any associated processes and materials.

By monitoring and analyzing data on cost-related metrics, such as scrap and downtime, manufacturers can realize significant cost savings over time.


Access to real-time data on production performance enables manufacturers to make informed decisions about production schedules, resource allocation, and process improvements, leading to improved productivity, quality, and profitability.
With real-time data on equipment status, inventory levels, production schedules, and shipping requirements, product dispatching can be efficiently managed. This information facilitates the optimization of the processes, prioritize orders, and minimize lead times.

Manufacturing Workflow

Workflow management is a critical component of modern manufacturing operations, particularly when there are multiple systems and information silos that need to be orchestrated, and also manual processes that are still done manually and require digitization. 

With the increasing complexity of manufacturing systems, it can be challenging to achieve the desired efficiency and productivity levels.

Omnicon solutions provide an automated and integrated system for managing the manufacturing process from start to finish, reducing manual errors and delays, and enabling manufacturers to increase operational efficiency and optimize plant productivity by standardizing, digitizing and orchestrating their operations. 

With an end-to-end transformational approach in alignment with international standards, such as ISA-95 to provide a digital framework for workflow management and plant-to-business integration, our solutions are deployed as modular applications replicable at a multi-site scale driving the digital transformation of manufacturing operations.

Omnicon empowers clients with workflows management solutions and value-added services aimed to achieve:

 

Establishing standard procedures and workflows help to scale-up across multiple manufacturing facilities or production lines, ensuring consistency in operations, and reducing variability in product quality.
Streamline manufacturing operations and optimize plant productivity, orchestrating processes and coordinating data exchange across systems and people in a consistent and governed manner.
Digitize manufacturing workflows and processes with our innovative solutions, eliminating manual tasks, such as data entry or manual inspections, and enabling real-time data capture and analysis for improved decision-making, efficiency, and compliance.

Retrieving and sharing information from various systems, depending on workflow execution, enables contextualized information sharing and real-time connectivity between the shop floor and the business level. This eliminates information silos and ensures accurate and timely data exchange between different areas and systems, improving collaboration and productivity.

Data Management

At the heart of modern manufacturing lies the need for effective data management and analytics. It involves collecting data from diverse sources such as sensors, machines, IoT devices, and other equipment, then storing, organizing, and securing that data in a way that makes it readily available for analysis.

With vast amounts of data generated in the plant floor that can be easily collected by systems such as process historians, combined with data from the manufacturing level, organizations have the potential to drive a wide range of initiatives, from basic reporting and dashboards to advanced analytics that enable predictions and data-driven decision-making.

Despite the wealth of data generated, many manufacturers struggle to fully leverage their operational data. One of the main reasons is the lack of proper automation systems in place, leading to inefficient and manual data collection processes.

Additionally, the lack of connectivity and integration between multiple systems often results in data silos, making it difficult to access and analyze data. IT/OT convergence issues can also pose challenges as they require close collaboration between IT and OT teams to effectively manage and leverage data.

By offering a comprehensive range of solutions in industrial automation and smart manufacturing, we provide expertise in data management and analytics to help our clients to overcome those obstacles and enable them to turn data into actionable insights that drive the business forward.

By analyzing historical data from equipment sensors, manufacturers can identify potential issues and anticipate failures in critical assets before they lead to unplanned downtime, minimizing disruptions to production and reducing maintenance costs.
With the power of analytics, manufacturers can identify the optimal process parameters and conditions that lead to the highest quality products, maximum output, minimum waste and increased yield. In batch processing, this can help create a consistent “golden batch” that meets or exceeds quality standards by replicating the ideal conditions in future batches.
By analyzing production data, including variables such as temperature, pressure, and flow rate, manufacturers can identify patterns and trends that may impact product quality. Real-time monitoring of these variables can help prevent quality issues by setting up automated alerts and triggers that generate notifications of any anomalies or deviations.
Analytics can help to monitor and optimize energy usage across the entire production process, from raw materials to finished goods. By identifying areas of high energy consumption and waste, manufacturers can make data-driven decisions to reduce their carbon footprint and improve sustainability. This can lead to cost savings through reduced energy consumption and improved environmental performance, while also helping manufacturers to meet sustainability goals and comply with regulatory requirements.
