Transforming Manufacturing Execution: A Comprehensive Guide
Executive Summary
The advent of advanced technologies is shaping the future of manufacturing. This whitepaper unveils the complexities of traditional manufacturing systems, their evolution, and their impact on modern manufacturing processes. From paper-based systems to the adoption of digital tools, this guide navigates through the transformation of manufacturing execution systems (MES), thereby setting the stage for sustainable manufacturing excellence.
Technical Background
Manufacturing execution systems have evolved from manual, paper-based systems to digitized but disconnected systems, and finally, to smart MES. Each type of system carries its unique challenges and inefficiencies, whether in cost, time, or data management. This guide looks into the current state, evolution, and future of these systems, with a focus on life science manufacturers.
System Architecture
The architecture of modern manufacturing systems is designed to overcome the problems of traditional systems. These include inefficiency, disconnection, low visibility, and traceability. With the advent of smart manufacturing, manufacturing execution is simplified on a unified platform, enhancing visibility, traceability, and overall efficiency.
