Recently, many customers have been looking forward to the official release of open eCOL MES 11.0, the version in the two network data automatic transmission, handheld terminal scheduling, visual operation upgrade, complex product inspection and other functional modules were optimized and improved to further improve the product’s ease of use, stability and performance. It can better help the in-depth promotion of intelligent manufacturing and digital transformation of manufacturing enterprises.
eCOL MES is a manufacturing operation management system based on ISA-95 standard, which analyzes the characteristics of discrete manufacturing enterprises, such as multi-variety and small-batch, parallel development and batch production, independent process design and manufacturing, semi-automatic or manual, diverse equipment, etc., through the comprehensive management of production planning, manufacturing execution, quality management, material control and analysis and decision-making of enterprises. The digital manufacturing solution for discrete manufacturing enterprises is established to realize the closed-loop management of design-process-manufacturing-operation. The 11.0 version upgrade combines the application needs and suggestions of many high-end manufacturing customers, and there are many highlights.
Automatic transmission of data between the two networks, safe and efficient
In order to meet the data security requirements of high-end manufacturing workshop production, manufacturing enterprises generally choose to isolate the data between the internal network and the industrial control network by physical means, and usually need to go through a complex process for transfer. In this application condition, a large number of order data and workshop feedback process report content generated a large amount of data is limited by the bottleneck of the transfer process, which brings great inconvenience to the production management of the factory.
Based on years of technical accumulation and through a lot of project experience, Kaimu MES 11.0 has realized the automatic transmission function of two networks, helping enterprises to automatically send order tasks to the workshop, automatic data verification, automatic file transmission. This upgrade can meet the automatic data transmission of a certain scale, break through the efficiency bottleneck, not only to ensure the production efficiency of the enterprise, but also to meet the data security requirements of the high-end manufacturing industry.
Handheld terminal on time scheduling, accurate distribution of production materials
In the modern intelligent manufacturing scenario, the efficient production of the workshop cannot be separated from the automatic distribution of materials. The manufacturing enterprise material management master data system is integrated with MES, and the order information provided by MES system can be arranged for raw material delivery and finished product delivery. In meeting the automation requirements of delivery, it is also necessary to maintain the correct material and queue order.
eCOL MES 11.0 deeply integrated AGV car, through the handheld terminal command material transfer, loading and unloading and other functions, you can flexibly distribute and transport materials or products in the factory, the site through highly customized signage board, the material, AGV car, process, transfer situation is displayed. The real-time updated information realizes the transparent management of the workshop and greatly improves the work efficiency; It can also be combined with the actual needs of the project to restrict the reporting of the next process, strengthen the management of the production site, and meet the higher requirements of the enterprise for the clarity of production control.
Visual operation upgrade, improve user experience
Taking into account the limitations of browser based on IE kernel, eCOL MES 11.0 removes the dependence on IE browser, and users can directly browse 3D drawings, assembly videos, PDF documents or pictures in the workshop terminal equipment through the program assistant; In addition, the new version also optimizes the index mode of upstream system files, adds matching conditions, and can be adjusted flexibly, reducing the complexity of document release management and debugging complex configuration; In terms of workshop terminal login, according to different management modes of different workshops, it supports the setting of swipe cards, account passwords, etc., to meet the security requirements of users on site.
At the same time, for the mature product line of manufacturing enterprises, the demand for equipment, personnel and other resources produced in the production process has been fixed, and in the case of stable processes, workshop workers are allowed to report directly on the tasks that have been confirmed. In the scenario of large number of workpieces and many process tasks, the reporting data is guaranteed and the operating steps of workers are reduced. Convenient and convenient terminal visual operation experience improvement, effectively improve the use of first-line users, to meet the requirements of enterprise production efficiency.
Complex product inspection integration, process manufacturing deepening coordination
Some products of high-end equipment manufacturing enterprises have long process routes, complex processes, and numerous inspection items corresponding to each process, and if they are manually entered, they are prone to duplication, errors, and low efficiency, affecting production billing and enterprise production efficiency.
Open eCOL MES 11.0 can directly read the process route and inspection items on the 3D process card, support one-time extraction of all process data, automatically generate inspection items on the process route and process, and keep consistent with the 3D process card data. It eliminates the tedious manual creation of process routes, processes, and process inspections, and further reduces the work intensity of on-site craftspeople.
Adhering to the concept of “customer-centric”, the new version of eCOL MES11.0 integrates the user’s business needs, and combines the accumulated project practice in many high-end discrete industries such as machining, electrical assembly commissioning, product assembly, pressure vessels, rubber parts production, and so on, the core functions of the product are refined and packaged. It further improves the ease of use of the workshop manufacturing operation management system to meet the needs of users to improve practicality and efficiency. In the future, Kaimu Software will continue to adhere to the independent innovation of key core technologies, more deeply solve the practical problems of users, and better empower the digital transformation and upgrading of enterprises.
