Digitalization and optimization of manufacturing processes are key factors that enable companies in the industrial sector to achieve high efficiency and competitiveness. In this context, SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) and MES (Manufacturing Execution System) applications play a critical role.

SCADA applications allow for real-time monitoring and control of manufacturing processes. They integrate sensors and automation systems, providing clear visual interfaces and data on the status of equipment and processes. This enables early detection of faults, process optimization, and rapid response to changes. SCADA ensures that manufacturing equipment operates efficiently and reliably, leading to increased productivity and reduced costs.

MES applications, on the other hand, are responsible for planning and managing production tasks and processes. They improve synchronization between manufacturing operations, monitor inventory levels, and optimize production workflows. MES applications ensure that manufacturing tasks are carried out efficiently, schedules are adhered to, and the amount of unused resources is minimized.

Eliminating paper forms and manual entries is a crucial component of digitalization and optimization of manufacturing processes. Transitioning from paper records to electronic versions allows for faster and more accurate data processing. This minimizes the risk of errors and enhances the efficiency of input processes.

Automated system integration and data acquisition mean that data is automatically integrated into various applications and systems, simplifying the entire process and increasing data reliability. For example, there is no need to manually enter data into paper forms, transfer it to Excel, and then to SAP.

Digitalization forms the foundation for further applications such as predictive maintenance and OEE monitoring.
