TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR FOOD & BEVERAGE PLANT FLOOR
Today’s food and beverage manufacturing enterprise gains a key competitive advantage by implementing an extremely strong plant-floor control system, also known as a manufacturing execution system (MES).
Many ERP software companies claim to support manufacturing companies, but their solutions do little more than accounting, order entry, and other office tasks. They are not suitable for use on the plant floor, and they provide little value to the manufacturing process. According to many manufacturers, traditional ERP software actually hinders manufacturing, rather than helps it.
The key is to implement a solution that allows manufacturers to take control of the plant floor; this solution must include job/production management, process instructions, production scheduling, ultra-detailed real-time inventory control, tool tracking, production tracking, traceability, labor tracking, PLC machine integration, and much more. These benefits are what true MES solutions offer, and they can be offered as pure-play systems that either connect or fully integrate with your ERP.
