As a member of the board of the VDMA Software and Digitalization Association, Michael Möller had the honor of opening the 13th MES Day in Hanover on behalf of the industry.Augsburg, 07.06.22 As a long-standing partner of MES Day at Hannover Messe The VDMA is also always actively involved in the program. This year, I used Michael Möller as member of the board the opportunity to present the latest VDMA white paper in Hanover. “MES and Industrial IoT — Shop Floor IT Requirements for Successful Smart Manufacturing” is the title of the white paper, which will be published shortly. Möller worked on this personally in the working group. The question that those responsible in white paper It's obvious: Does a modern manufacturing industry need both — i.e. selective optimization of individual machines and process steps as well as a look at the big picture. And talked about exactly that Möller on behalf of the VDMA in the MES Day keynote talk in Hall 8.” This is the only way to make the best possible use of existing resources,” he emphasized. The growing complexity and variety of variants in today's manufacturing routine, which companies must master, were also important to Möller. “And that's exactly what only works with a combination of MES and IIoT“, he makes clear. Disturbed supply chains, which have a major influence on production planning, are one thing. The failure of entire supplier companies, for example in Russia and Ukraine, is another. The result of both, more productions in the immediate vicinity in Europe and more own warehouses instead of rolling warehouses, as was the case in the past. “In order to be able to achieve this economically, companies need a functioning infrastructure for IIoT as part of a manufacturing execution system,” explains MES expert Möller. Continuous communication represents a particular challenge, as Möller passes on to further MES Day content.Photo caption: Michael Möller talking to Dr. Christine Loetters at HANNOVER MESSE 2022
