Critical Manufacturing will once again join forces with ASMPT SMT at this year’s Productronica to showcase its manufacturing execution systems (MES). The theme ‘Expect More from Your MES’ has been designed to cater for the demands of the electronics and surface mount technology (SMT) industry, paving the way for Industry 4.0 innovation.
As electronics continue to permeate every aspect of our lives, the demand for electronic components, SMT processing, and PCBs have surged. This flourishing industry presents its own set of unique challenges – dynamic supply chains, fluctuating demands, slimming margins, and the rapid pace of change to product lifecycles. In such a landscape, a top-tier MES that goes beyond automation is crucial – one that provides comprehensive control and real-time adaptability to steer production under any circumstances.
MES centre stage
The Critical Manufacturing MES is an integral part of the SMT and electronics manufacturing operation management (MOM) system, driving efficiency. It manages the entire factory, improving efficiency and material traceability through adaptable workflows. It customizes quality checks for each product, reducing costs and boosting quality, and also provides advanced analytics for spotting and preventing issues, reducing unplanned downtime, and improving overall equipment efficiency (OEE).
In addition, the Critical Manufacturing MES provides a data platform for simple collection of all machine data and critical data from other systems, while automatically, providing context from the MES system itself. This unique combination provides the capabilities manufacturers need to pursue more advanced Industry 4.0 use cases such as predictive maintenance.
Maximum flexibility
The essence of Critical Manufacturing MES lies in its adaptability. The modules offered are attuned to the demands of the electronics and SMT industry, ensuring a smooth integration into existing workflows. Its architecture accommodates diverse deployment options – on-premises, cloud, or hybrid – allowing manufacturers to tailor the MES to their specific needs.
The company will also offer a virtual tour which will provide a glimpse into the MES features for those unable to be present atz the event.
