Case Study Ypsotec AG
MES does it: Production at a glance
Accurate, precise and almost indefinitely durable – these are the characteristics of numerous Swiss products, especially in precision engineering.
Swiss company Ypsotec AG draws on this tradition and the associated expertise. For production planning with 120 individual resources and up to 9,000 work steps, the manufacturer of components for the medical industry and automation technology from the canton of Solothurn uses MES-Software with control station and BDE from PROXIA. It enables the medium-sized company to plan and map complex production in detail and flexibly.
This enables Ypsotec to continuously reduce throughput times and further increase its productivity. The high product quality of Ypsotec AG and the head start provided by PROXIA’s MES modules make the company competitive in the international market in the long term.
“Where our ERP system conceptually stops, our powerful MES starts. In our opinion, PROXIA offers the most factually logical and best content MES Concept to solve our diverse challenges in production. In figures, this means: 5,000 orders, 9,000 work steps and 120 resources in view.”
