“Investment savings, lower operating costs and standardization of MES infrastructure as benefits preset produce industry-specific modules when implementing a considerable timesaver Serrig, November 11, 2009 the FELTEN group has preset and industry-oriented best practices their software platform PILOT Suite” designed for production management. The use of these modules causes substantial savings for the realisation of projects towards the implementation of functions according to the classical procedures. The lower overhead especially in the evaluation, the specifications, tests, and documentation. At the same time, the company can make slimmer their investments than ever before. Because the company must introduce more directly complex solutions, but gradually can portray their technical requirements in the production management through the use of each independently usable PILOT modules. Thus the MES infrastructure can grow flexibly and accurately”, describes Werner Felten, Managing Director of the Software House, the advantages of the engine monetization concept. The production management in this way can also keep slim, unnecessarily complex conditions can be avoided and instead lets make a greater standardisation. The company can concentrate without overhead on the processes, which are actually needed.
This reduces not only the investment costs, but also the operating costs. Also the MES infrastructure becomes more transparent through the renunciation of unnecessary technical functions and provides easier control of production processes”, Felten outlined the various benefits. “Each best practice module PILOT Suite” contains predefined and sector-success-proven workflows. So, concrete measures to optimize are deposited in the module for the continuous improvement processes (CIP). You are triggered automatically based on the measured and analyzed data. The evaluations immediately lead to concrete actions, so that the effects initiated the Improving processes can be detected immediately.
The desired results fail, direct further measures can be started to the readjustment”, Felten explains the advantage. According to the traditional methods of CIP the results of the improvement measures exist only with greater time spacing, so that their effectiveness can be evaluated exactly. The best practice modules are based on the approach of production intelligence (PI). He ensures not only greater flexibility and productivity compared to the previous concepts of the MES, but creates the conditions through its process orientation and more conceptual specificities for the first time for a real time integration with the business processes. FELTEN group: The FELTEN group is an international operating software and consulting company, the solutions to optimise processes for all production areas and according to international quality standards of GMP and FDA (21CFR part 11) developed. Clients include Beiersdorf, Boehringer Ingelheim, Symrise, Sensient, Texas instruments, etc. FELTEN pursuing first the holistic and process-oriented production intelligence approach.
