Now more and more enterprises have begun to apply mes System , So for MES The demand for software system development engineers has increased , So develop MES What information does the system need to master ？mes How to develop the system ？MES What are the key points of software system development ？ If you really want to develop one MES System , We need to start with business and development . Now let's get to know MES Knowledge of software system development .

One 、 Rapid development of MES What knowledge reserves does the system need ？

Want to quickly develop a practical MES System , First of all, you need to start with business and development .

1、 Business

What is the business ？ You can simply understand that business is the final function of your system . First of all, you have to think MES What does the system do , What problems have been solved . To develop a MES System , The first step is to know what functions your system will implement , You can't go back until you know this .

And know what the system is going to achieve , Also the whole MES Very important link in the process of system implementation . Due to the particularity of the industry ,MES The business of the system in every enterprise is very different , There is no uniform standard . If you haven't been to the production site , Do not understand the production process , It is suggested that you should actually go to a factory workshop to find out . See how the people at the scene work , If you can get to one that has been implemented MES It's even better to have a look at the operation process of their system , You'll be right MES Clear understanding of several aspects of management and control .

If you haven't been exposed to production , Here is a brief introduction to you MES Several main function modules of , You can design around these modules .

（1）、 Planning and scheduling

here MES Undertake ERP Order in , Start to get involved in production . This module is mainly used to control the production time of orders 、 when does it start? 、 When will it come to an end? , By which team , Which employee? , Even which station to produce . Specific details will also break down the order to the operation , Working steps , And material analysis on site , Is it missing? , Can it be produced? .

（2）、 Production execution

This step is the specific production operation process , At this stage, the worker will install the parts , In the process, our system records what parts the workers have installed 、 Batch of parts 、 Serial number information , Record product pedigree , Convenient traceability . Here, the acquisition of part serial number is generally entered into the system through scanning , That is to say, barcode identification in other people's answers will be involved . It also collects the tool models installed and used by workers , Tool parameters such as torque 、 Angle, etc. .

（3）、 Quality testing

The self inspection results of workers during installation will be recorded here , And the final inspection results made by the quality inspection personnel after the completion of the workers . If the inspection is unqualified , Another process will be initiated .

（4）、 equipment

This step is related to the scene PLC Or device interaction , If the inspection result is unqualified , Or the parts are installed incorrectly ,MES The system will communicate with the automatic control system to control the start and stop of the production line . At the same time, the operation status and process parameters of key equipment are collected .

（5）、 process

In fact, this step of technology runs through the whole process , Before the start of the system, the process should be clear , Include product routing 、BOM structure 、 Parameter information , Process information is the basis to ensure the correct operation of the system .

（6）、 logistics

Monitor the material information involved in the production process , Ensure smooth production .

2、 How to develop ？

Development is relatively easy , Because after the function to be done is determined , Development is nothing more than a matter of time . Because for MES system , There are basically no difficulties in technology . Because our system is to implement business logic , That is, all kinds of work of adding, deleting, modifying and checking . Guarantee MES The interface between the system and the surrounding system is stable , Such as ERP、WMS etc. .

For development , If you know a programming language and database operation （(SQL, stored procedure ） Basically OK 了 , Now most traditional enterprises are also using B/S Architecture . At present, the most commonly used is C#,Java,Oracle,SQL Server Etc. programming languages and databases . The database aspect will be more important , Due to the complexity of the business , There will be many tables involved . So it is very important to design database table relationship reasonably . besides , I learned that we can also use low code platform to develop quickly MES System , According to the relevant data , Using low code platform to develop system is faster than traditional code writing 10 times .

Two 、MES What are the key points of software system development ？

1、 Basic function

In terms of basic function inclusion , The basic functions are comprehensive MES The system software needs to have product and process management 、 Planning, scheduling and production management 、 Material logistics information management 、 Manufacturing quality management 、 Workshop equipment maintenance management method 5 Big foundation control module , Of course, it should also include control modules such as production and manufacturing resource management . In response to Intelligent Manufacturing MES, It must also have information system integration and device port control modules , Otherwise, the interconnection of various information contents in the workshop cannot be completed , And support the intelligent scheduling of intelligent workshop demand 、 Optimize 、 Visualization and other basic functions .

2、 platform

On the market MES Key points are divided into new project levels according to customer needs 、 Customized products , And its general platform products . New project level MES Advantage is ： Individualization 、 Good applicability 、 Low cost 、 Fast delivery , But the disadvantage is ： There will be a lack of industry universal standards in the description of development requirements , It is very easy to cause that the system software does not meet the changing business needs and industry standards , If there is a new demand after the development direction of the enterprise, it needs to invest a lot of secondary development , This is also a severe test of the reliability of the software architecture .

3、 Applicability

platform MES Product developers can deeply and carefully understand and be familiar with the actual production and manufacturing workflow of various industries , Even the in-depth and meticulous process of key processes also needs to be mastered , Not just from the perspective of software development MES. meanwhile , Developers should also sort out the relationship between all processes and workflows according to the actual needs of production and manufacturing , And in accordance with ISA95 And other standards to build a platform MES product , To facilitate business association and information sharing with other standardized software .

4、 Digital scheduling

Many enterprises automatically arrange production according to excessive regulations before digitalization , The result is a large investment in human resources 、 And cause profits to be swallowed up by these increased costs . On the contrary, the paper manual production scheduling without digital regulations will inevitably make enterprises far away from the development trend of Intelligent Manufacturing , Finally completely out of the team , Lost made in China 2025 Opportunities and favorable policies for overtaking on this curve . These basic elements of digital automatic production scheduling are all for you to choose a suitable MES The basis of the product .

5、 Basic functions of visualization

With the rapid development of Chinese manufacturing level , In the past, many foreign so-called advanced manufacturing technologies have long been seriously out of date in China . For example, traditional IT Personnel develop customized methods of crystal reports and Kanban according to the solidified needs of the user department , It has long been far from being able to fully meet the rapid personalized production management needs of today's made in China . Another example is the boring report before & The format and content of Kanban , It has long been difficult to fully meet the requirements and tastes of today's customers . well MES The forms of product visualization have become more and more abundant ： Dot graph 、 Linear graph 、 Histogram 、 The pie chart 、 Radar map 、 Gantt Chart 、 Funnel diagram 、 Three dimensional drawings are not a problem . Basic provisions ： Beautiful shock 、 A look at will understand 、 The information is comprehensive .

6、 Information system integration capability

（1） Integration with information systems ： As an intelligent manufacturing oriented MES Systems software , Information system integration capability should be an important consideration , This includes and SQL、ORCAL Such as database integration , And PDM（ Connect BOM、 process ）、ERP（ Connection plan 、 materiel ）、WMS（ Connecting Logistics 、 transport ）、 Simulation （ Connect data ） And other software integration , And IOS、Android Integration of mobile terminals .

（2） Integration with data types ： It is the technology completion method of information content integration described above , for example ：XML、CSV、TXT、 The middle table agreed by each other 、Webservice、 Open API Port, etc .

That's about “ How to quickly develop a simple and practical MES System ” All the answers , I hope that's helpful , in general ,MES System is a way to cost 、 quality 、 Respond to 、 Flexible comprehensive and balanced approach , In today's competitive world economy , To possess “ Most valuable ” The status of , The enterprise must have the best quality 、 The best customer service 、 The lowest manufacturing cost 、 Fast response and flexibility .
