About ANT MES

A MES system is sophisticated software that measures and improves the quality, availability, and productivity of manufacturing lines.

Most importantly, it dramatically minimizes the likelihood of resource waste. It increases the efficiency and profitability of manufacturing. The manufacturing process is guided by MES software at all stages: planning, scheduling, monitoring, supervision, execution, and optimization....

MES for production optimisation

OEE, production and quality monitoring is very precise and automatic. The process optimisation is less time consuming and problems are faster and easier to detect.

PROS

ANT managed to custom the MES interface and its funcionalities to a high degree so that we could really make the most out of the system.

CONS

All funcionalities should have been better evaluated prior to the beginning of the implementation. It took longer than expected once we figured that the system could give us more if tailored on our needs. All the aspects that were less intuitive were modified during implementation.

Not designed for complex OTP equipment

PROS

Product is very easy to use and user management is easy to handle. Reports are adjustable to everybody needs. User interface is very clear and operator sees imediatelly where problems come from.

CONS

Software or system is not designed for OTP modules and very complex modules. For cigarette machines it works very well because there is only one maker and one packer, but as soon as there are more machines in a row and a logic has to check where the stop comes from, system often can´t find the right root cause. Out of this, the system should be more flexible and customized for each equipment.

Easy to use, but some issues.

PROS

The software is clear and easy to use. Small changes are easy to incorporate.

CONS

Software sometimes gives no data or erroneous data. e.g. no production counter. Support is then always required. For this time, the data falsifies our statistics.
