Tougher competition, increasing legal requirements, increasing consumer protection, crowding-out processes – this list has characterized the reality for manufacturing companies for years. And this list could easily be extended. More than ever, strategic alignment and efficient operational measures are needed to secure and expand a company’s success.
And what does this have to do with a Manufacturing Execution System (MES)? Quite a lot, because the introduction of a modular, future-proof MES is more than just a strategic decision. When prepared accordingly and, above all, implemented intelligently, an MES paves the way to Industry 4.0.
In the Industry 4.0 magazine IT&Production, our founder and Managing Director Dr. Karl-Heinz Gerdes gives you helpful tips on introducing an MES.
