Production optimization and related analytics is important for all businesses, regardless of industry. However, there are companies with special characteristics. This group includes, among others, the pharma cosmetics sector characterized by various forms of cosmetics and a large amount of raw materials used in production. In order to avoid overproduction of waste, highly advanced technologies are used. The example of MES implementation at the cosmetic company shows how profound the benefits of the implementation can be in terms of waste reduction. read more >

Transparency in manufacturing may sound like a marketing ploy, but it actually brings tangible benefits, from smoother workflows to significant financial savings. If transparency in manufacturing is so important, it is worth reaching for (often surprisingly small) changes that dramatically transform the reality of the process. read more >

The rising utility costs – especially for electricity obtained in the traditional manner – raise the importance of efficiency in the use of these resources. How to optimize the expenses and costs that are necessary in the context of production activities? The key issue is not only the analysis of the data itself, but also the way in which it is obtained. read more >

MES is now undoubtedly the basis of digitalization and the foundation of modern manufacturing activity. In the environment that can be described as Industry 4.0, it is a key factor in determining a possible business success. The reality of Industry 4.0, which – like never before – is analysed and evaluated through the prism of KPIs and all other measurements, requires the adjustment of production processes to MES assumptions. read more >

After the implementation of MES, we usually notice a strange effect. In most cases, after the system go-live, the OEE coefficient is lower than before the installation. Typically, change leads to making things worst at first. Unfortunately, this decrease is not only caused by the work methods change but also by other reasons... read more >

Digitalization has firmly established itself in everyday production processes, regardless of the industry. Nevertheless, habits remain from the days before widespread digitalization, traditional solutions not going hand in hand with business efficiency. Paper is an example of this – it is still the common when creating documentation used on the shop floor. Creating a paperless manufacturing environment will ensure that you never go back to paper documentation again. read more >
