gbo datacomp scores points with MES industry solution for metalworking

From band to buyer - transparency and Traceability are particularly in demand when it comes to just-in-time deliveries. Through BiSoftMES, it is possible to ensure this. Augsburg, 01.07.19 Cars are still being built, albeit with alternative drives. And so chassis, doors and floor assemblies etc. are used and manufactured in almost unchanged quantities. “That is exactly what we feel with our inquiries,” begins Michael Möller, managing director of gbo datacomp. For the suppliers of automotive The highest quality standards apply, meaning that precision and cost-saving production are a must. And what could provide better support during implementation than an MES, Möller knows. The modular BiSoftMES serves as an interface between the process level (field level) and the management level. It transmits the required data to the respective ERP, where it is automatically assigned to the corresponding accounts. The MES solution creates a clear database between order, set-up and production times. By integrating production planning into BiSoftMes Suppliers compare capacity demand with supply on the shop floor. This allows them to plan an order accordingly. The scalable MES solution from gbo datacomp provides maximum flexibility in order to be able to react quickly and efficiently to changes in production planning and control. This has a significant positive effect on the cost situation. Comprehensive quality management is also becoming increasingly important in the automotive supplier sector. The requirements for a zero-fault strategy at the highest level and consistent traceability are high, because this is the only way to significantly save costs and to react quickly in the event of a claim. The faster and more precisely you can narrow down an affected batch/lot, the better. As a result, this means significantly reducing product liability risks. “In the automotive sector in particular, there is enormous pressure when it comes to traceability,” says Möller.Traceability, the tracing of a product along its supply and production chain, is therefore also a must for suppliers in the area of sheet metal processing. Car manufacturers are setting the pace. Suppliers are increasingly becoming an extended workbench and must deliver “just in time.” No storage periods, delivery is often made directly to the assembly line. This is simply not possible without integrated software solutions such as BiSoftMES. And this is exactly what gbo datacomp feels in numerous conversations they have with interested parties.
