Realize the benefits of smart manufacturing FactoryTalk MES and The Connected Enterprise BEGIN

Addressing those challenges with dexterity can deliver improvements and efficiencies FactoryTalk ProductionCentre MES and The Connected Enterprise not only resolve production issues in the short term but also transform them into operational advantages in the long term The workplace and the workforce are changing presenting significant challenges Addressing the Issues MES Strategy Case Studies YOUTH VERSUS EXPERIENCE More intelligent devices are added every day yet few enterprises leverage the full capabilities of those devices Meanwhile ERP is finally reaching maturity exposing potential gaps in efficiency ProductionCentre MES connects enterprises so that they can realize the value of intelligent devices closing the information loop from execution through data management FactoryTalk Applications Work with Rockwell 2

Address changes IMPROVE COMPLIANCE Combining an execution system for the plant floor with the rich functionality of application software ProductionCentre MES enables both effective control of the manufacturing process and the integration necessary to create a truly Connected Enterprise Compliance is required in many forms from track and trace genealogy to counterfeit prevention to recordkeeping process enforcement electronic batch recording and more ProductionCentre MES streamlines and automates activities to ease and even improve demonstrated compliance Protect intellectual property As retirees exit the workforce intellectual property is walking out with them faster than new workers can be hired and trained ProductionCentre MES models the manufacturing process to drive out variability through automated setup work instructions and integrated quality processes Facilitate continuous improvement Even once new talent is in place new challenges can arise in the form of higher expectations from technology than yours may be delivering Continuous improvement initiatives are an essential element of employee retention and help insure quality With ProductionCentre MES quality processes become integral to production activities allowing process data to be viewed in context of orders products suppliers and materials so that plants can learn more The more plants know the more they can do with that knowledge Addressing the Issues MES Strategy Case Studies FactoryTalk Applications Work with Rockwell 3
