MES software extension for Industry 4.0

With extensive experience in the industry and a national accreditation as an Industry 4.0 Manager, BriaSOFT has developed the Factory Supervisor software extension for the MES Crono software, enabling companies to digitalize production and improve overall efficiency.

The Factory Supervisor module has been designed to adapt to various businesses within the metalworking industry, including: spring manufacturing, industrial welding, machine tools, screws and bolts production, manufacturing of wire components, sheet metal forming and bending, and many more. The versatility of the Crono system allows for customization of every feature for each sector, integrating all production, logistics, and management processes.

BriaSOFT's ability to provide tailored consulting is complemented by collaboration with suppliers to implement advanced communication protocols. Prestigious certifications with brands such as Heidenhain, Siemens, Fanuc, and Kuka ensure reliable integration and interconnection between the various machines within the company.

Features of the MES software extension Factory Supervisor

The Factory Supervisor module offers several key features for managing production operations, including:

- on-field production monitoring: provides a clear and precise view of the activities of each process stage;
- real-time summary and data transmission to plants: enables tracking of the number of parts in production, times, and resources used, without manual intervention;
- machine scheduling and loading: uses a factory calendar to assign work hours based on availability and production priorities;
- traceability of each operation: both internal and external (outsourced) processes, as well as purchases from suppliers, ensuring a complete and detailed view of the entire production process;
- management of external operations and suppliers: to keep control of outsourced phases and optimize production times;
- maximization of productivity: through continuous monitoring of plant performance, identifying potential bottlenecks, and delegating certain operations to external suppliers if necessary;
- digital archiving of all operations: allowing for in-depth analysis, improved traceability, and data-driven decision-making.

Industry 4.0: industrial integration

BriaSOFT's support starts from the initial analysis, which includes verifying the plant compliance with Industry 4.0 legal requirements, up to the complete integration with company information systems, such as ERP, SCADA, and MES. The Factory Supervisor extension not only allows for the interconnection of existing machinery but can also be configured to communicate via advanced protocols like Profinet, Modbus, and OPC UA, making it compatible with existing technologies.

The Factory Supervisor module does not make operational decisions, but it provides users with tools to improve management and make informed choices. For instance, it allows users to promptly respond to customers regarding order delivery times, based on real-time data.

BriaSOFT is committed to help metalworking companies navigate the transition to Industry 4.0, offering specialized consulting and innovative solutions to fully embrace the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
