In this year’s assessment and ranking of
manufacturing execution systems (MES)
carried out by Landshut-based industrial
consultants MES Consult, Advaris from
Bruchsal, Germany, has gained a place
among the top eight. MES is a core
element of “Advaris Cable”, the operations
management system for length-based
manufacturers.
Economist
Klaus
Thiel,
of
MES-Consult, said: “Advaris has
a very good manufacturing
execution system tailored to the
relevant sectors (cable, wire, litz
wire, and rope). In the opinion
of MES-Consult, the Advaris
system could also be used in
other industries with drum-based
manufacturing.
“The
system
is
impressive
because the basic design includes all three
main components of a sophisticated MES.
The fact that the structure is based on
SOA elements throughout, and makes use
of modern in-memory technology, also
deserves a special mention.”
In his product evaluations, the MES expert
adhered strictly to the standards of the
ISA (International Society of Automation)
and the guidelines of the Association of
German Engineers (VDI), which they are
derived from. He also added some more
stringent criteria of his own.
The Advaris MES got top marks for its
“manufacturing flow design” with the
functions of “product definition
management” and “resources
management”, as well as for its
“manufacturing flow planning”.
The Advaris system was also
praised for its flexibility and
the ease with which it can be
integrated into an existing on-site
system landscape. The decision
to consistently base the system
on service oriented architecture
(SOA) also contributed to the
Bruchsal
company’s
overall
success. Two other reasons for the
very positive assessment by MES-Consult
were the intensive advice with which
Advaris supports their customers, and the
fact that its systems can be implemented
on site in a very short time.
