FOR FORGING PRODUCTION
Problem
Task
The forging plant is a specialized enterprise with a full cycle of manufacturing hot-forged blanks for subsequent mechanical processing.
Previously, the plant implemented SAP MES, but it was ineffective, and its functionality was not fully utilized.
Additionally, plant personnel refused to work with the system due to its complexity.
As a result, the plant was still managed manually.
Solution
System functionality
Replace the SAP MES
Implement a completely vendor independent system without the risks of external factors
Automate routine processes and simplify communications
Create a user-friendly solution for employees and management
  • Formation and distribution of shift-daily tasks online.
  • Providing information on production progress and work-in-progress.
  • Monitoring equipment workload
Implementation
  • The functionality was introduced step-by-step, with phases every 2-3 weeks. Analysts and project managers gathered feedback from users after each phase to adjust future functions and compile a task list for the next phases
Production process transparency for all participants
  • Users include: planning and dispatch services, workshop foremen, department heads, and working personnel
  • A simple interface for employees, accessible from tablets, data input-output terminals, and stationary computers
  • For plant management, a dashboard mode is available, which can be displayed on a TV screen to monitor the production status in real-time
Client
Clear interface
  • A distinctive feature of the system is its modern, simple, and user-friendly interface, specialized for each system role
