TIA MES: Smart Manufacturing Execution System

TIA MES is a manufacturing execution system that monitors, analyzes, and optimizes all operations of factories in real-time. Unlike traditional manufacturing execution systems, it not only collects data but also provides intelligent insights and recommendations for improvement. 

At the core of TIA MES is the overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) calculation. By continuously monitoring availability, performance, and quality parameters, it reveals the true potential of production processes. 

TIA MES features a flexible structure with the ability to collect data from machines of different brands and types. TIA MES offers a holistic approach that provides businesses with operational excellence, cost optimization, and competitive advantages. 

Core Components of TIA MES

• OEE, OOE, TEEP, and Cutting Time: TIA MES calculates OEE in real-time by measuring availability, performance, and quality metrics. It performs productivity analysis through cutting time optimization and idle operation detection. It provides multi-layered efficiency analysis using OEE, overall operational effectiveness (OOE), and total effective equipment performance (TEEP) metrics. By distinguishing between planned and unplanned downtime, it calculates OOE and measures TEEP over time. It improves capacity management by identifying production bottlenecks and provides automatic reporting and visualization for efficiency metrics by calculating both loading and capacity utilization rate. 

• Machine Monitoring: TIA MES is compatible with all CNC controller types to monitor real-time machine status. It can track cycle times and accurately collect production counts. It analyzes spindle load and speed. It ensures efficient use of CNC machines with features such as axis position tracking and feedrate override/spindle override (FOVR/SOVR) monitoring. This module makes it possible to obtain meaningful data from machines to optimize production processes.

• Production & Performance Reporting: TIA MES collects production data without requiring data entry from operators and tracks cycle times based on work orders. It provides continuous monitoring and reporting of production performance through shift management. It presents critical information in real-time, such as work order-based production status, planned and actual production quantities, downtime durations, and their reasons. Performance analysis and trend reports help managers to make the right decisions in order to increase the efficiency of production processes.

• Dashboard & Visualization: TIA MES offers real-time, role-based dashboards and interactive graphics. It includes drag and drop screens, map visualization, mobile dashboard, and Andon TV mode support. Users can easily access the data they want to view and analyze. Time-based filtering features, alarms, warnings, and performance indicators of TIA MES helps them and make it simple to both manage and visualize manufacturing. TIA MES offers customizable reports, automatic report scheduling, and export to Excel, PDF, and CSV. It provides comprehensive information to managers with comparative reports, cross-table reports, trend analysis reports, and KPI scorecard reports.

• Enterprise Integration: TIA MES provides seamless integration with ERP and PLM systems. It can track production with CAM programs and offers file transfer protocol (FTP) support. It includes web and mobile-based remote access, chatbot usage, and custom reporting support. It works in harmony with corporate processes by providing IoT platform integration, SCADA system integration, RFID reader integration, barcode reader, machine vision systems, and energy measurement device integration with comprehensive API support.

• Maintenance Management: TIA MES offers periodic planning, work order creation, and historical reporting for maintenance management. TIA MES automatically creates work orders for the maintenance department during downtimes and automatically shares downtime explanation and solution information with the maintenance department. It optimizes equipment maintenance processes with maintenance calendar management and maintenance checklist creation features. This reduces unplanned downtime, extends equipment life, and increases production continuity. 

• Energy Management: TIA MES tracks real-time energy consumption by machine and performs work order-based energy cost analysis. It can monitor power factors, compensation control, and phase imbalance analysis. It helps reduce costs by providing periodic energy consumption reports and energy efficiency analysis with optimization recommendations. With this module, you can reduce operating costs while optimizing energy consumption and reducing environmental impacts. 

• Production Planning: TIA MES offers machine capacity utilization analysis, planning features and scheduling and optimization of work orders. It provides job prioritization capability by tracking real-time production status. It offers capacity improvement recommendations by performing route, bill of materials (BOM) based planning, BOM traceability, and bottleneck analysis. TIA MES improves production routes with backward planning according to delivery dates, load balancing based on work centers, and shift planning features. 

• Quality Management: TIA MES enhances quality management through its integrated monitoring system. It maintains a complete record of quality control activities, including measurement data entries and device calibrations, while providing timely warnings when issues arise. The system helps organizations implement quality control plans that align with facility requirements and material specifications, all while ensuring ISO standards compliance. When measurements fall outside acceptable parameters, TIA MES automatically alerts both operators and production supervisors. Quality processes are fully integrated with production work orders through a comprehensive tracking system that covers first article inspection, interim checks, and final approval stages. To ensure product quality, TIA MES includes features for monitoring rework processes and can even halt production when quality issues are detected, preventing potential problems from affecting finished products.

• Cutting Tool Monitoring: TIA MES provides cutting tool life tracking, lifecycle tracking, and tool magazine management. It prepares tool performance reports and tracks active and broken/worn/sharpened tools. TIA MES ensures efficient use of cutting tools and optimization of costs with tool inventory management features. With Cutting Tool Monitoring module, downtime due to tool breakage is reduced, tool life is extended, and production quality increases.
