OF MAINTENANCE

Expresso MES (Manufacturing Execution System) is the software that manages data acquisition from industrial plant machines, machine status detection, production data recording, and anomaly management, enabling the monitoring, tracking, and control of the entire production process in real time and with absolute precision.

integrates with the customer’s ERP

The Expresso MES software and the Expresso IoT 4.0.2 board, hardware designed and manufactured by VM Vision, make up the Expresso MES suite.

Machine States Collection

For each machine in the Expresso plant, MES records, in real time and with absolute precision:

Machine downtime – reasons for downtime
On the move – real-time production
In maintenance – reasons for maintenance
In alarm – recording of all alarms

The features

Expresso MES helps companies optimize the efficiency and productivity of their plants, improve preventative maintenance, and reduce operating costs.

Guarantees:

Real-time monitoring of the number of pieces produced, to calculate the performance of the machinery and personnel for a specific ODL (Work Order);
machine states (malfunction, under maintenance, automatic, not active);
the possibility of associating the reason for the stoppage for the detection of anomalies lasting more than 3 minutes (micro stoppage) in a simple way with the aid of a cordless barcode reader;
interfacing with the customer’s ERP, with frontier tables for production progress;
data recording with the Expresso Maintenance suite, which is thus completed by providing real MTBF and MTTR KPIs;
real-time consultation of all acquired data on any device.

The advantages of Expresso MES

Greater production efficiency

By being able to monitor production in real time and detect any anomalies or downtime, operators can intervene promptly to minimize downtime and maximize production.

Reduction of maintenance costs

Thanks to the recording of maintenance data and the possibility of calculating real MTBF and MTTR KPIs, it is possible to plan preventive maintenance interventions more accurately and reduce corrective maintenance costs.

Improvement of product quality.

By exploiting the functionality that allows you to associate the causes of machine downtime, it is possible to identify any repetitive problems and intervene to improve the quality of the final product.

Access data from anywhere

Thanks to the real-time consultation of the acquired data on any device, operators and production managers can monitor the progress of production from any place and at any time.

Flexibility and scalability

Expresso MES is designed to adapt to the needs of different types of production plants and can be easily scaled according to the company’s needs.

Greater data security

The Hardware/Software combination allows you to store data on an SD in case of Wi-Fi connection failure, ensuring data security
even in case of problems with the company network.
