Smart Manufacturing – Smart Factory Glossar

Smart Manufacturing is all about using advanced technologies in manufacturing to improve production processes. Different approaches are being deployed, such as the (Industrial) Internet of Things, artificial intelligence (AI), big data, and analytics. Smart Manufacturing aims at creating efficient and highly flexible environments for production allowing companies to quickly react to changes. As a result, production processes can be optimized, efficiency increased, costs reduced, and product quality improved.

With the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) HYDRA X , the Advanced Planning and Scheduling System (APS) FEDRA and the Manufacturing Integration Platform (MIP), MPDV offers performant software for Smart Manufacturing. MPDV's AI Suite includes AI-based applications enhancing the MES HYDRA X and the APS FEDRA. The applications can be quickly integrated in production and support companies in being one step ahead of competition.

 

Smart Manufacturing step by step

  • IIoT connectors integrate machines and production units into manufacturing software.
  • As a result, machine and shop floor data such as the number of cycles, operating signals, energy data, and process values can be collected and analyzed by the manufacturing IT.
  • Once this data is available in a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) like HYDRA, it can be used to monitor machines, show the current machine status, calculate KPIs, or evaluate past periods.
  • The new transparency in production is key for data-driven decision-making.
