Challenges

System and data integration
Challenge:

In advanced discrete manufacturing, there are multiple IT systems like MES (Manufacturing Execution System), ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), and PLM (Product Lifecycle Management). Integrating these systems is crucial but often challenging.

Solution:

Utilizing a microservices-based architecture allows for flexible integration of various modules. This helps avoid vendor lock-in and minimizes issues related to monolithic solutions.

Production data management
Challenge:

Discrete manufacturing generates vast amounts of data, from production planning to quality monitoring.

Solution:

Implementing MES systems that enable the collection, analysis, and visualization of production data. This leads to better operational decision-making.

Cybersecurity
Challenge:

Modern manufacturing is increasingly automated and relies on computer networks, increasing the risk of cyberattacks.

Solution:

Implementing stringent security measures, conducting regular security audits, and educating employees on cybersecurity.

Production process optimization
Challenge:

Efficiently managing resources, production schedules, and quality in discrete manufacturing.

Solution:

Using production planning algorithms, automating processes, and continuously improving work methods.

Quality management and product tracking
Challenge:

In discrete manufacturing, product quality is paramount. Every production stage must be tracked.

Solution:

Implementing PLM systems that enable product lifecycle management, tracking changes, and documenting quality.
