What is Epicor Advanced MES?

Epicor Advanced MES helps manufacturers improve production performance through real-time monitoring of plant operations, equipment, and manufacturing processes. Designed for plastic molders, repetitive manufacturers, and assembly operations involving multiple machines, the solution provides the visibility needed to better understand and manage shop floor performance. With access to real-time production and machine information, manufacturers can identify resource constraints, uncover additional capacity, track downtime, and reduce scrap and material waste. Advanced MES supports operational improvements by providing timely information on production status and equipment performance. The solution includes real-time scheduling, process monitoring, production visibility, and performance reporting capabilities. Users can review operational metrics and production details to support informed decision-making, while maintenance teams can access machine condition information to help plan preventive maintenance activities. Advanced MES also integrates with ERP, accounting, manufacturing estimating, and other business systems to help connect production activities with broader manufacturing operations.

What is Energy Methods?

The initiative focuses on improving the monitoring of performance and planning of materials by effectively tracking overall material usage and production throughout the facility. By adopting a mass balance method, the system guarantees thorough oversight of resource consumption. Any delays are carefully monitored and evaluated through the adaptable delay framework of QRM, which also oversees comprehensive sample testing along with yield and quality assessments. The QRM application, designed for mobile operators in the realm of Industry 4.0, provides live dashboards and compiles detailed reports on production and performance analysis. Users are promptly notified of any complications in the processes and can pinpoint recurring issues that affect operations. Additionally, operational occurrences—such as delays, equipment use, and production indicators—are automatically tracked to enhance efficiency. In a typical recycling facility, interconnected operations may run either concurrently or in a sequence, depending on the specific layout and quality standards of the plant, ultimately leading to more streamlined processes and better overall results. This holistic approach not only optimizes resources but also fosters an environment of continuous improvement in operational management.
