Course Content
The course covers the definition, historical development, functions, and structure of Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES). It explores the transition from traditional to digital manufacturing, focusing on data collection, production monitoring, quality management, and the interaction between stock and maintenance processes. The relationship of MES with software architecture, communication protocols, and production planning systems will also be discussed. Students analyze processes through practical examples based on real manufacturing scenarios.
Objectives of the Course
The aim of this course is to enable students to understand the fundamental concepts of Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) and their role in industrial production processes. Students will acquire basic knowledge and skills related to digital monitoring, analysis, and optimization of production operations, gaining insight into the integrated structure of manufacturing within the Industry 4.0 framework.
