About

Epicor Advanced MES is a manufacturing execution system that is suited to plastic molders, repetitive manufacturers and those with an assembly process involving multiple machines. It is designed to help floor operators to monitor and optimize their plant operations. Advanced MES helps manufacturers monitor and control production with real-time plant and machinery information. The system enables users to identify inefficient resource allocations to find new capacity within the business. It also helps track machine downtime and record scrap and material waste throughout the production process. The software provides real-time production visibility, scheduling, process monitoring, and performance reporting. Users can access production details and operational metrics to support informed decision-making. Maintenance teams can also access machine condition information to help plan preventive maintenance activities. Advanced MES offers integration capabilities that connect production information with ERP, accounting, manufacturing estimating, and other business systems.

Play Video Plantwide Overview Dashboard to Manage your entire facility from a birds' eye view of area or line. "Manage by exception" with clear indication that a line is winning (green), off target but within threshold (orange) or losing (red) against target. OEE Dashboard - main view for operators to monitor OEE to know whether they are winning (green) or losing (red) on an hour by hour basis. Note the highly visual red "Problem" indicating that a report is required and is still outstanding. Multi-media chat communications including marked up photo (or video) with video-conferencing view in the foreground. Note that chats are translated so senders type in their chosen language and readers read in theirs. High level quality inspection by line dashboard showing whether a required check was completed (green), failed (red) or missed (black) with orange indicating an SPC violation. Each can be drilldown into to show the details and notes. Maintenance pareto dashboard showing top losses by downtime category including lost time, product and value. Note the highly visual orange frame indicating that the red problem needs to be reported and remains until completed.board Example of the many continuous improvement or lean manufacturing tools such as this fishbone diagram digitized for effective root cause analysis.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Too many to list seriously... As the article mentioned, real time tracking. You are able to get in front of issues before they become serious. In the past we weren't able to review data until the next day. They have a chat feature on the application so all workers are able to communicate back and forth, from the processing side to the finished product side. Paperless quality checks!! Everything is done on an iPad that stays in the area with the worker. It has made my work life so much easier. The support team is very responsive and actually helpful. Oh Redzone does most of the items this article did not have checked. They have a bench marking system, it tracks real time losses (downtime) refreshes every 60 seconds. You can see what the OEE is for the week, day, line, machine center, shift, & run. They even have a knowledge base system built into the program for any questions you might have during your shift.

Cons

  • I feel like some items need to be added or improved. However they usually have 3-4 updates a year adding things that are needed. No Maintenance program yet, they are beta testing though. The system is engineered around sensor counts mainly, in a processing or a bulk area all counts would have to be put in manually for productivity.
