Fully adaptable and extensible Based on a unique object-oriented process model, Tecnomatix Tecnomatix MES adapts to existing processes rather than requiring MES can help manufacturers: manufacturers to adjust their procedures. This not only makes for • View production orders at any time a fast implementation time, but it also provides the flexibility to modify a • Create/change/cancel production orders system as processes change. And, because it is based on Microsoft standards, Tecnomatix MES can be easily and quickly extended. • Change production order priority instantly • Reschedule production orders Complements ERP and SCM systems Tecnomatix MES complements ERP and SCM systems by capturing manufacturing data to a level of detail and precision that ERP and Tecnomatix MES supports dynamic production environments SCM systems cannot match. The resulting information allows rapid that require a high degree of visibility, such as: identification of the cause of problems with fast reaction to limit • Frequent product changeovers the financial impact of these problems. • Build-to-order products or single-unit lot sizes Major ERP vendors have selected S95 as the standard interface between ERP systems and production management systems. • Speed requirements associated with high-volume production Tecnomatix MES supports S95, so it is easy to integrate with the • Frequent new product introductions best-known ERP packages. Tecnomatix MES provides real-time visibility by reconciling production data with your ERP and SCM systems. With Tecnomatix MES, production order information can move quickly and seamlessly, creating new opportunities for cost control, improved efficiency and enhanced customer service.
