ERP and Accounting System Integration
将erp推广到工厂
The popularity of ERP systems in the 制造业 world seems to be ever increasing. In a day and age when data equates to dollars the more relevant data that can be generated the better. Larger food processors dedicate full-time staff to maintain, 收集, and analyse data coming into their ERP systems. A good ERP system will enable a food processing plant to take an in depth look at their processes in order to maximize their efficiencies and streamline the flow of production.
With all the emphasis on 收集ing data it begs the question, how can an ERP system effectively send and receive 生产数据 to and from the plant-floor? ERP systems don’t normally integrate well with plant-floor hardware like scales or other data 收集ion devices. MES交响曲 can be the bridge between the ERP system and the plant-floor. With seamless integration to the plant-floor MES交响曲 augments the standard ERP system.
MES交响曲 was designed to give complete control of the plant-floor to the ERP user. 例如, through MES交响曲 the user can created and edit production orders, 产品文件, 标签格式, 皮重外, 和更多的. Communication between MES交响曲 and the production facility’s ERP system allows MES交响曲 to receive production orders from the host ERP system. MES交响曲 then sends the orders to the scales on the plant-floor where the orders are received by the 生产订单填写 应用程序. Operators use 生产订单填写 to fill orders by weighing and 标签 product. Once product has been labeled those transactions are sent back to the host ERP system through Symphony’s MES database. With MES交响曲 and ERP integration, plant floor operations can be optimized through better automation, 提高了生产率, improved communication and enhanced traceability.
整合的好处
Most ERP systems have slowly evolved into becoming a 多面手. ERP systems cover a large territory including inventory, 制造业, 订单管理和履行, 会计, HR and customer relationship management (CRM). While it is great to have one system manage so much, it can be difficult for those systems to provide depth in all those areas. Integrating with MES交响曲 allows a plant’s ERP system to focus on what it does best, while allowing MES交响曲 to handle the plant-floor weighing, 标签, 和数据收集. Simply put, MES交响曲 was built for the plant-floor. It’s robust architecture was designed to communicate directly to plant-floor equipment.
Enhance Data Accuracy and Reduce Errors
By seamlessly integrating with existing plant ERP systems Symphony’s MES eliminates double data entry and the associated errors. Automate the sending and receiving of 产品文件, 生产数据, 库存详细信息, and customer/vendor information between MES交响曲 and the host ERP.
MES交响曲 works in conjunction with the 生产订单填写 应用程序. iCap was designed to receive production orders from the host ERP system through Symphony’s MES and fill those production orders. On the plant-floor, iCap reduces errors by removing the complexity for plant-floor operators. Touch friendly 应用程序s allow operators to select jobs or products to work with. Scanners remove the need for manual data entry. Onscreen prompts guide operators through their next steps. Or simply automate the entire process with iCap’s operator free automated weighing and 标签 solution.
提高生产力
MES交响曲 provides real-time visibility by offering production goal-setting, 生产仪表板和报告. Visibility into plant-floor production gives management the tools necessary to boost production and improve product throughput. Set production goals and produce against those goals with MES交响曲 Goal Setting. Production dashboards allow staff to visualize their progress against the set production goals. Designate multiple lines to fill the same order to help expedite certain orders. View production reports either directly on the plant-floor or up in the office.
增强ERP可追溯性
The question isn’t whether an ERP system can provide quality traceability. The bigger problem is extending the ERP system’s traceability to the plant-floor. MES交响曲 lot tracking allows product to be weighed and labeled against lot numbers received from the host ERP system. Serialized product labels provide traceability down to the individual piece if required. Detailed traceability reporting can be viewed in MES交响曲 or in the host ERP system. MES交响曲 is key in helping food processing plants fully complete the traceability chain. With MES交响曲 the processor has insight into where product came from, what product manipulations were made during production, 以及产品被送到了哪里.
