In this webinar, Laura Baumann, Vice-President of Product at ECI Software Solutions, and Mark Gregory, CEO of Lynq, will explore how business resources planning (ERP), Manufacturing of execution systems (MES) and the Advanced planning and planning (APS) revolutionize the food and drinks manufacturing industry. They will discuss how these technologies work together to improve efficiency, reduce costs and stimulate profitability in an increasingly competitive market.
ERP, MES and APS systems work in synergy to considerably improve the efficiency of the manufacture of food and drinks by providing a complete and integrated approach to production management.
ERP: Foundation for integration on a company scale
Business resources planning systems (ERP) serve as a spine for food and drinking manufacturers, the offer:
-
Improving the efficiency of lots and processes thanks to the integrated management of mixing, cooking, treatment, packaging and labeling.
-
Improvement of stock management, allowing real -time updates to shipping and more precise delivery times.
-
Better traceability and conformity, crucial for food security and regulatory requirements.
Mes: Table control in real time
Manufacturing execution systems (MES) fill the gap between the ERP and the production floor:
-
Data collection in real time and production monitoring, allowing immediate identification of bottlenecks and quality problems.
-
Improved quality control thanks to continuous monitoring of production processes.
-
Reduction of configuration costs and reinforced operational efficiency.
APS: Optimization of production planning
Advanced planning and planning systems (APS) complete ERP and MES by providing:
-
Visual planning and multiple resources planning capacities.
-
Real -time adaptability to production of production floor.
-
Flexibility of short and long -term planning, allowing manufacturers to plan weeks in advance while adapting to real -time changes.
ERP synergy, MES and APS
When integrated, these systems create a powerful ecosystem that:
-
Improves visibility: provides a complete view of the operations of the order to delivery.
-
Improves decision -making: provides data -based information for strategic planning and process optimization.
-
Reduces waste: identifies waste areas through production, storage and delivery.
-
Increases productivity: rationalizes processes, reduces downtime and optimizes the use of resources.
-
Allows an agile response: allows manufacturers to adapt quickly to market changes and customer requests.
By taking advantage of the combined forces of ERP manufacturers, MES and AP, manufacturers of food and drinks can reach higher efficiency, reduce costs and generate profitability in an increasingly competitive market.
