Modernizing Metallurgical Manufacturing with MES

Manufacturing Execution Systems Help Solve Metallurgical Industry Challenges

In today's competitive marketplace, outdated equipment and an aging workforce pose many challenges:

Aging workforce, lack of diagnostic data

Lack of production intelligence

Lack of flexibility to respond to market changes

Manual recipe and order management 

Siloed, aging systems that do not allow for product traceability or genealogy management

Advantages of MES in metallurgical operations

A modern MES provides real-time information to anyone in the plant at their convenience. Employees can use these insights to improve productivity and ensure greater value from equipment and materials. Benefits include:

Reduced downtime

Reduced scrap rates

Integrate manufacturing operations with production scheduling and capacity planning

Integrating product traceability and genealogy management capabilities

Reduced production quality variation and rework
