Production Management ControllerMES

Complete control over the production process
ControllerMES automatically reports back the production key figures for the entire production process, fully compiles the information and makes it available to the production control system to ensure a timely intervention at all times. Dashboards—also known as cockpits—visualize the production status using key figures. In this way, you can immediately detect bottlenecks and irregularities and react immediately. The production progress and job progress are displayed at all times. You can see at a glance where your customer job is and whether it is complete. A presentation can be created in flexible dashboards for employees, team and plant management, including analyses of material consumption at part or job level.

Simple interfaces to other systems
ControllerMES ensures intelligently networked information flows — both within production and for your job entry, for example your ERP. With ControllerMES, the data from the upstream system is adapted to your production system and completed based on rules. Interfaces to all standard CAD/CAM systems, such as HOMAG iX, are available for this purpose and can be customized to suit individual customers. It is also possible to connect working hours or machine data recording systems so that all necessary information is available in one system.

Automatic and manual feedback
The ControllerMES enables direct feedback on the production progress of networked machines (e.g. panel dividing saw, nesting, edge banding machine, CNC machine, sorting and buffer storage and more). Machines from all manufacturers can be connected with bidirectional communication points. What's more, feedback at workstations is also obtainable, e.g. for checking the completeness of component groups in manual sorting processes by scanning barcodes.
