Each sector has its own idiosyncrasies, and the ceramic sector is no exception. With more than 20 years of experience working intensively in this field, we have acquired a deep knowledge of its problems, becoming our greatest asset and, as a result, we launched Control Ceramics years ago, the only MES system specifically for the ceramic sector.<\/p>\n
An MES (Manufacturing Execution System) is an essential tool for a ceramic factory seeking to improve its operational efficiency, product quality and process traceability. In addition, an MES system is key to obtaining real-time data from all production processes.<\/p>\n
Production operations management: detailed production planning and scheduling, real-time monitoring of production progress.<\/p>\n
Quality control: implementation of tests and quality controls at different stages of the process, recording and analysis of quality data to ensure compliance with standards.<\/p>\n
Production data management: collection and storage of production data. Analysis and reporting on production performance.<\/p>\n
Resource management: monitoring and allocation of resources such as materials, equipment and personnel. Optimization of the use of resources to improve efficiency.<\/p>\n
Traceability and product genealogy: detailed tracking and recording of the traceability of materials and components. Record of the complete production history of each product.<\/p>\n
Maintenance management: scheduling and monitoring of preventive and corrective maintenance of equipment. Equipment availability and performance management.<\/p>\n
Interconnection with enterprise resource planning systems (ERP) and plant control systems (SCADA, PLC).<\/p>\n
Facilitating the flow of information between different company systems.<\/p>\n
Improves efficiency and optimizes resource utilization and reduces downtime.<\/p>\n
Increased quality by providing tools to monitor and assure quality at all stages of the process.<\/p>\n
Real-time visibility allowing operators and managers to have a clear and up-to-date view of production status.<\/p>\n
Traceability facilitating the identification and resolution of quality and compliance issues.<\/p>\n
Flexibility and adaptability allowing rapid response to changes in production or market requirements.<\/p>\n
OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) is a standard metric used to measure the efficiency and productivity of a piece of equipment or manufacturing process. This metric is used to identify losses and improve operational development in terms of availability, performance and quality. It is a fundamental tool in production management.<\/p>\n
We have our own method, developed over many years of experience in ceramic factories. Our approach includes, among other things, integration with existing systems, configuration of the software to suit the specific processes of each plant and training of personnel.<\/p>\n
