Course Content
This course will explain the architecture and components of MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems). Students will gain knowledge on developing an MES framework to facilitate production processes. The interaction of MES with shop floor equipment, network infrastructure, databases, and user interfaces will be described. The course will provide insights into configuring MES settings and parameters to align with business rules and logic, as well as customizing MES workflows, reports, dashboards, alerts, and notifications to meet the needs and preferences of users and stakeholders. Configuration tools such as Git, SVN, and Dropbox will be introduced. The communication architecture ensuring seamless integration of MES components will be explained. Furthermore, general information will be provided about standards and protocols governing MES functionality, such as ISA-95, OPC UA, and MQTT. Applications and challenges encountered in this context will also be discussed.
Objectives of the Course
The course aims to equip students with knowledge on developing a MES (Manufacturing Execution System) framework to facilitate and streamline production processes.
