Facing the continuous advancements in modern technology, many factories are moving towards automating their production and management processes through MES (Manufacturing Execution System) and MOM (Manufacturing Operations Management). While these systems are not a one-size-fits-all solution, integrating them with current industry trends can bring significant benefits to your production line. Join New Ocean in exploring the Top 3 Trends in MES and MOM for 2024.
AI has been a major trend in recent years. When integrated with automated production management systems, AI helps optimize resources, reduce costs and time, and improve product quality as well as forecasting accuracy.
Specifically, AI supports operators and factory managers in decision-making and process execution by leveraging insights from production and process data.
For example, in the pharmaceutical industry—where precision and compliance are critical—AI can help operators run production processes more safely and reliably, minimizing anomalies and reducing risks. This is especially valuable in addressing workforce experience gaps as more senior, skilled workers retire.
Digital twins and simulation are becoming increasingly essential for MES and MOM. These technologies allow companies to simulate, analyze, and optimize their operations in a virtual environment before implementing changes in the real world.
Using digital twins in manufacturing enables companies to minimize downtime, enhance product design, and improve overall operational efficiency. In the food and beverage industry, this translates to more efficient use of ingredients and resources, reduced waste, and optimized production lines for faster, more efficient output.
The Internet of Things (IoT) and edge computing are also expected to be among the key modern technologies applied to MES and MOM. The integration of these technologies enables real-time data collection and processing more efficiently and cost-effectively at the source, leading to faster and more effective decision-making.
A key aspect of this trend involves deploying sensors across production equipment, enabling the implementation of modern MES/MOM solutions even in factories with traditional automation systems.
IoT and edge computing enable real-time monitoring and control of manufacturing processes. In the packaged consumer goods industry, this can enhance inventory management, provide faster response times to market changes, and improve product tracking throughout the supply chain—ensuring high-quality control and greater customer satisfaction.
System integrators bridge the gap between technological potential and real-world applications, contributing to greater efficiency in production lines. Specifically, they play a crucial role in:
+ Customization and Implementation: Adapting these advanced technologies to meet the specific needs of the manufacturing facility.
+ Integration: Seamlessly integrating new solutions with existing MES and MOM systems, ensuring interoperability and minimizing disruptions.
+ Training and Support: Providing essential training and support to ensure the workforce is equipped to effectively utilize these new technologies.
Integrating these technological trends with MES and MOM can be a significant advancement for manufacturers. However, the key to success lies in selecting the right technology provider and system integrator—those who understand the unique challenges and opportunities of each company and can support customers on their digital transformation journey, helping them achieve their long-term goals step by step.
