VPC-MES (VAC Production Control - Manufacturing Execution System)

Today companies have to produce their products highly automated under compliance of high quality standards. Thereby different products must be able to be produced flexible, while the production flow is configurable over different production steps and thereby a complete quality control and traceability of data is guaranteed. The analysis of the machine monitoring is thereby the basis for a high efficiency and availability of the production equipment.

VPC-MES - a Software- Framework for production control

The Manufacturing Execution System VPC-MES provides therefore all functions for a comfortable, scaleable production control. An innovative Software- Framework is the basis for the communication and integration of extensive available functional software modules of MES. By the modular structure are client- specific functional increments possible at any time.
 
The modules of MES:

  • Production Visualization
  • Order Management
  • Production Control
  • Traceability/ Tracking
  • Trending
  • Reporting
  • Recipe Management
  • Machine Data
  • Alarm Management
  • SPC (Statistical Process Control)
  • APC (Advanced Process Control), option of extension
  • Maintenance Management
  • Expert System
  • Logbook/ Machine log

Technical advantages

  • VPC is realised as Client- Server architecture and is based on the object-oriented automation platform VAC with its extensive automation functions.
  • VPC is modular in the functions, horizontal and vertical scaleable for different production structures and –measurements and configurable.
  • VPC has open interfaces for adaptation of foreign software.
  • VPC uses standard databases (e.g. ORACLE ®)
  • VPC offers many already prepared function analysis/reporting and the possibilities for project-specific extension.The process stations can be connected over different interfaces to the MES. For it act the available interface objects (Profibus, CAN-Bus, Industrial Ethernet, RS 232, u.a.) of the control system VAC.
  • The process stations can be connected over different interfaces to the MES. For it act the available interface objects (Profibus, CAN-Bus, Industrial Ethernet, RS 232, u.a.) of the control system VAC.
  • For the integration of project-specific functions all objects and functions of VAC are available, whereby an effective extension of functions and integration possibilities is secured.
