Roll Manufacturing
Companies using rolls in their production processes create complex demands on information technology within the production area. The system architecture and functions of ZEISS GUARDUS, mixed with ZEISS GUARDUS expertise with this complexity, provide the efficient ingredients to implement a completely integrated MES. With our Solutions, all quality and production data from the shop floor are recorded centrally in the software, with improved worker dialogues and standard interfaces accelerate efficiency dramatically. In addition, the solution supports manufacturer specific processes with industry-specific data logic, plausibility checks and norms. The goal: Seamless traceability from raw material to finished product - and back.
“There is hardly an unimaginable scenario. Therefore, flawless traceability must impeccably cover all these permutations. GUARDUS MES perfectly performs this feat by means of an intelligent reel number assignment in the PDA terminal. Thus, the top-down and bottom-up design allows us to travers a reel’s entire history in the realtime.”
