• The demo walks you through MES functions for a Secondary Metals industry application.
• Starting from a coil you will see how a product order is created, tracked & traced, and how quality and inventory are managed.
• The demo uses standard Rockwell FactoryTalk Production Centre (FTPC) out-of-the-box, and is based on real cases.

Benefits of MES in the Metals Sector:

• Fundamental to a technology transformation for metals companies that are growing and seeking operational excellence.
• Offers the foundation and system for modern manufacturing enterprise and execution.
• Allows for tracking and reporting out the history of end products (e.g. pipe, tube, bars) back to the original primary material (e.g. billet, coil, slab) or even further to the raw materials that went into forming the metal batch.
• Offers tracking of inventory by location, alloy / grade, size, and quality status.
• Provides enforcements on material verification and fit-for-use of materials prior to starting the process.
• Integrates from ERP level down to controls. It passes down product requirements, recipe parameters, equipment set points, and links to work instructions.
• Reports information back from controls and MES up to ERP on actual materials consumed, scrap and recovery percentages, and order execution status.
