By implementing the Aquiweb MES software, the challenge was to eliminate paper data and the associated administrative work. The project objectives were as follows:

  • Monitor the OEE in real time on the manufacturing and packaging workshops
  • Track labour and machine hours (HMP/HMA) in real time and send them to SAP
  • To have an ‘intelligent’ Pareto of the causes of loss per line and per piece of equipment
  • To be able to easily analyse yields (direct and indirect labour hours, range monitoring)
  • Accurate real-time monitoring and analysis of material losses
