Modular, Composable Manufacturing Execution System to Enhance Agility and Scalability

Boost production agility with a composable MES that grows with your electronics business. Learn how this modular approach simplifies scaling while keeping processes agile.

Modular, Composable MES for Electronic Manufacturer

A leading electronics manufacturer operating 11 factories globally wanted to deploy a next-generation MES (Manufacturing Execution System) across its diverse sites. These factories used a mix of legacy and new machines with different IT/OT systems, leading to fragmented operations. The manufacturer needed a flexible MES to accommodate specific business needs at each site while ensuring standardisation across their global operations. They had developed internal templates for IT data interfaces but needed a scalable solution to unify IT, OT, and ET data across all factories.

Key Issues
  • Diverse IT/OT systems on the shop floor
  • Mix of legacy and new machines
  • Varying business needs across different markets - Factories with unique demands
  • Risk of low operator adoption
Challenges

The primary challenge was to create a standardised data layer that could integrate with a wide range of factory systems and machines, both old and new. The solution needed to be flexible enough to enable custom business capabilities at each factory while avoiding vendor lock-in. Furthermore, they sought a scalable MES that could be rapidly deployed, ensuring minimal disruption and efficient training across their global operations.
