Wie unterscheidet sich DIAMES von anderen Systemen? |
|
|
DIAMES
ist ein aktives MES (Management
Execution
System).
DIAMES
stellt die Schnittstelle zwischen den Fertigungsmaschinen
in der Produktion und dem ERP/ PPS auf oberster Ebene zur Verfügung. Dadurch können Anwender die Abläufe und den Durchsatz optimieren, Engpässe ausschließen, und unnötige
Ausfallzeit vermeiden sowie Zeitraubende Schreibarbeiten reduzieren.
Hier folgt eine übersicht der Vorteile die ein DIAMES System bietet:
|
|
|
Durch die grosse Flexibilität und weitreichende Einstellungsmöglichkeiten ist DIAMES zum Einsatz in fast allen kontinuierlichen Produktionsumgebungen geeignet. DIAMES wird unter anderen erfolgreich in folgenden Branchen eingesetzt

Was ist ein MES (Manufacturing Execution System)
|
|
|
Ein MES überbrückt die Kluft die zwischen dem ERP und den Systemen in der Produktionsebene
(Mensch-Maschine-Schnittstellen, intelligente Fertigungsmaschinen, SCADA Systeme,
usw.) und eliminiert dadurch Manualle interventionen und Schreibarbeiten.
Traditionelle ERP Systeme sind auf den Vertrieb und die Logistik/Lagerwirtschaft
ausgerichtet. |
|
|
DIAMES receives notification of
production related events and activities from work centers in real time.
Any production related details that are available to DIAMES are immediately passed to the ERP so that you know the exact status of your production any time.
Real-time data means greater efficiency, higher productivity, reduced down and better overall effectiveness. |

|
Wie werden Ausnahmen, abnormale Zustände und Störungen durch DIAMES behandelt? |
|
|
DIAMES is "aware" of the specific environment on the shop floor. This "awareness"
is provided by customized options, settings and limit values that are defined and
"fine tuned" for the different production processes, work centers and/or machines.
The optional MDS (-> Message Distribution Service) component of DIAMES can be configured to automatically distribute any exceptions and other messages to designated persons on an escalating scale (in accordance with a set of profiles that are defined for this purpose). |
|
|
DIAMES supports user-access to the information by means of intranet/internet connections and the -> "Shop-Floor-Tools" applications. These consist of a number of data retrieval and visualization clients that are installed on the users PC and provide user-customized, password protected access to the data. |
|
|
Was sind die "Shop Floor Tools" (SFT) und welche Vorteile bieten Sie dem DIAMES Anwender? |
|
|
The shop floor tools provide the user with quick, customized access to the data on the DIAMES server using GUIs and textual displays. The SFTs consist of:
The potential benefit to the users is that they enable the user to manage the complex daily business on the shop-floor much faster and more efficiently when they are using easy to use graphical tools. |
|
|
The DIAMES system has facilities to interface with most major ERP systems.
Interfacing is provided for SAP™, BaaN™, PeopleSoft™,
JD-Edwards™ and other systems that support data exchange facilities by means of
standard mechanisms.
Interfacing between DIAMES
and ERP systems requires completion of a detailed sub-project to
define required protocols and data structures. |
|
|
Yes the DIAMES environment has such interfaces!
Since Syspro has facilities to exchange data
by means of an XML-based mechanism it is possible to configure DIAMES
accordingly.
Both types of interface require a completion
of a detailed sub-project to define the required protocol and data structures. |
|
|
Wird "Backflushing" (Materialrückfluss) von DIAMES unterstützt? |
|
|
Yes – even better than any classical "Backflushing" functionality! "Backflushing" is the classical but very inadequate report-back mechanism for the following situations:
|
|
|
Kann DIAMES durch mehrere Anwender gleichzeitig benutzt werden? |
|
|
Yes. The DIAMES environment is based on a Server system. This server permanently communicates with each individual production machine and the respective operator or crew. It also simultaneously communicates with the Production Planning or ERP environment.
The DIAMES
-> "Shop-Floor-Tools"
components provide every PC-user (with the appropriate access rights) with permanent
and concurrent access to all the production information that is controlled by the
DIAMES Server.
|
|
|
Welche Informationen liefert DIAMES der Planung/Arbeitsvorbereitung? |
|
|
Planners can use the
-> "Advanced production Scheduler"
or
APS to view the actual capacity and work load of each production
machine as well as the sequence of planned production activities.
The
actual or past work in progress of each particular work order operation can be displayed. |
|
|
Gibt es ein DemoSystem mit einer fiktiven Firma um den kompletten Arbeitsblauf vorzuführen? |
|
|
We prefer a live presentation at a fully operational
plant of a actual system-user. There we will discuss your particular configuration
requirements and provide you with an impression of the best results you can expect
from your manufacturing environment. |
