With the gradual expansion of the company’s scale and the diversification of its product structure, the company has long foreseen the importance of informatization construction to enterprise management. Signed a contract to jointly implement the SAP ERP management system.
The implementation of the SAP ERP management system has established a complete set of information management platform for the company from raw material procurement, warehousing, material picking and returning, production management to sales, inventory and financial accounting. Effective control of accounting and other links has established a complete set of information logistics management platform that conforms to the actual management mode of the group company.
However, after the understanding and practical application of the ERP logistics system in the past few years, it is found that although the ERP logistics system has improved a lot of efficiency in materials, warehouses and finance, the SSBEA product line and the SBMV product line are in the execution of production tasks and the progress management of work-in-progress. , product quality traceability, after-sales service tracking and other links still have not played a good role in supervision and control, especially the large amount of data input in the production line, which takes time and is prone to errors, and the data cannot be updated in time, which brings a lot of inconvenience to production management.
Therefore, based on the collection of production line data and the tracking and tracing of product quality, the company also needs a highly refined and intelligent manufacturing execution system (MES) to control the entire production process, so as to make the enterprise flexible in production and management. Direction development, improve the real-time and flexibility of market response, reduce defective product rate, improve the operation efficiency of production line, strengthen production site data collection and work-in-process management, product quality and after-sales service capabilities, reduce production costs, etc.

3. Implementation plan
In line with the overall progress of Schneider’s informatization construction and ERP project, the implementation of the MES system must follow the principles of overall planning and step-by-step implementation. After discussion, we believe that this MES system can be divided into two phases to be completed respectively. The first phase of the project is defined as The two production workshops in Beijing and Baoji are implemented, focusing on completing the production, processing and assembly management of raw materials, semi-finished products, parts, and finished products, enabling basic data collection and quality traceability. The second phase of the project can be based on the first phase of the project. The management system is optimized and promoted in other related factories and workshops, and finally the whole process of barcode tracking management of the group company is realized. The first phase of the project must implement the data interface of the SAP system, and the interface is reserved for the second phase of the group company’s barcode management. The company’s overall informatization construction has laid a solid foundation.
The first phase of the project focuses on completing the following basic functions: (discussion)
System management, basic data definition, process and process route, production task and dispatch, picking and returning materials, production execution (material loading, assembly, testing, inspection, packaging, etc.), progress and on-the-job inquiry, quality management, barcode traceability , Comprehensive reports, ERP system interface, etc.
The second phase of the project completes the barcode management in the entire factory. Combined with the foundation of the first phase of the project, a complete set of enterprise resource management systems such as procurement, sales, production, receiving and returning materials, barcode traceability, supplier evaluation, and customer analysis can be realized. Comprehensive collaborative work.
The implementation of the EAS-MES barcode traceability system forms an integrated barcode for the enterprise from raw material procurement to inspection and storage, from production picking to production control of assembly, debugging, maintenance and packaging, and from finished product storage to sales and delivery. Track, realize the life cycle control and management of products, and seamlessly connect with the existing ERP system, and finally achieve comprehensive integration and collaborative production.
4. System structure
EAS-MES production execution system, as the execution layer between ERP enterprise resource management system and CRM/MRP/DRP and other management information systems, is mainly responsible for production management and scheduling execution.
EAS-MES enhances manufacturing competitiveness by controlling all factory resources including materials, equipment, personnel, process instructions and facilities, providing a method to systematically integrate functions such as quality control, document management, production scheduling, etc. on a unified platform In this way, the integration of real-time EPR/MES/process control system is realized, which forms a bridge for information exchange, enabling enterprise managers to grasp production information in real time and make production decisions.
The system adopts C/S (Client/Server) structure design, Microsoft SQL Server 2000 database, and the network topology is as follows:
After adopting the production line barcode technology, the order number, part type, and product quantity number are first formed into barcodes, and the barcodes are printed and pasted on the production line of product parts and assemblies. In this way, it is very convenient to obtain the production process of the product order on a certain production line and the required materials and parts.
After the product is completed on the production line, the production line quality inspector will scan the product barcode and production line code number after passing the inspection, and scan the worker’s barcode in the sequence of the process (it can be determined once and unchanged). For unqualified products sent for repair, the cause of the failure (process location) will be determined by the repair.
After the packaging process is finally completed, it enters the warehousing link of finished products, and then completes the sales, forming an overall process association.
