Incom

Over the last five years, production at Incom has doubled, and in the past decade, it has grown sixfold. This rapid expansion has led to some typical challenges, such as decreased production visibility, more frequent human errors and less efficient utilization of production capacity.

To overcome these issues, Incom opted for digital transformation, choosing Metronik as their partner to help increase productivity and optimize production processes.

The primary objective was to implement the MePIS MES system to track production quantities, record work hours, manage product labeling, ensure the correct material is issued to the production lines and provide efficient access to production documentation.

The MePIS OPEX solution was introduced to improve production visibility. By processing and displaying data from production equipment and the ERP system, we gave key stakeholders a real-time view of production, enabling rapid response in case of deviations. Workers also receive continuous feedback on their performance through motivational screens. Management can analyze historical data to develop improvement measures and actively monitor their effectiveness.

The automatic collection of data from production machines, combined with manual inputs, forms the foundation for the comprehensive visibility of production processes that MePIS MES and MePIS OPEX provide. These systems enable improvements like reducing production cycles, optimizing internal supply chains and enhancing maintenance and quality control parameters.

Bottlenecks in production can be quickly and efficiently identified and addressed. MePIS MES simplifies the input of quantities through a web application and portable terminals, streamlines label preparation and ensures easy access to essential documentation. Management can access a detailed view of production performance at any time without extra effort.

MePIS also allows for real-time, two-way data exchange with ERP systems. Using the gathered KPIs, Incom can introduce productivity improvements and achieve immediate cost savings.

Metronik’s solutions, tailored to internal processes and best practices, serve as the foundation for building a smart factory.
