From manual processes to transparency and planning reliability

<\/strong><\/p>

Before implementing the MES system in 2017, Ebnat used an outdated ERP system with no connection to production. Manual entries and Excel-based processes often led to discrepancies, and key metrics on machine availability and production efficiency were lacking. \u201cWithout data, without numbers, without facts, you\u2019ve got a problem,\u201d says project manager Thomas Hilberer. Post-calculations and performance evaluations were also not possible, and scrap had to be recorded manually. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Digital networking and real-time data<\/strong><\/p>

Ebnat’s strategic goal was to digitize all production order data and resources and connect them with the maintenance and servicing departments. PROXIA\u2019s MES system was intended not only to provide real-time data but also to ensure end-to-end traceability and transparency. \u201cWe wanted comprehensive digital networking and the ability to measure all resources involved in the value creation process,\u201d says Hilberer. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Successful MES implementation<\/strong><\/p>

The modular structure of PROXIA\u2019s MES software allowed for a step-by-step implementation, enabling investment costs to be distributed efficiently. Thanks to the user-friendly interface and customizable configuration options, PROXIA MES achieved a high level of acceptance among employees. Thomas Hilberer explains, \u201cThe introduction of machine data acquisition was the icebreaker. By now, we\u2019re all in the same boat.\u201d <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Growth toward Industry 4.0<\/strong><\/p>

Today, Ebnat benefits from significantly higher system availability and greater transparency in its production processes. The company has increased machine availability and now has access to complete traceability and detailed production metrics. \u201cWith the introduction of MES, there are far fewer follow-up questions, the processes are more transparent\u2014there\u2019s huge potential waiting to be unlocked,\u201d Hilberer concludes. <\/p>

Ebnat\u2019s journey toward Industry 4.0 is far from over. The company plans to integrate additional PROXIA modules, including detailed scheduling and CAQ, to further optimize its production processes. <\/p>

The successful collaboration between Ebnat and PROXIA demonstrates how well-planned digitalization of production processes can lead not only to increased efficiency but also to long-term sustainability.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
