Epicor Software Corporation has announced an integration between its Epicor Mattec manufacturing execution system (MES) and next-generation enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, Epicor ERP version 10. Epicor Mattec MES is an out-of-the-box configurable MES product designed to meet operational challenges in manufacturing, including rubber and plastics, metals and automotive industries. The product offers a comprehensive set of MES capabilities for production scheduling, machine operation and maintenance, quality management and real-time analytics to monitor machines and analyze machine-related data such as overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), run rates, scrap, yield and energy consumption. "The system captures data directly from machines and operators, and delivers real-time production metrics and real-time operations analytics in an easy-to-digest visual manner," said a company spokesperson. "Discrete manufacturers use Mattec MES to improve on-time delivery and quality, reduce scrap and boost product throughput."
"One of the common challenges manufacturing organizations face is the need to effectively connect planning and scheduling data from their ERP system with shop floor realities in one centralized system," said Tom Muth, Senior Manager, Product Marketing, Epicor MES. "With the integration of Epicor ERP and Mattec MES, customers can achieve a holistic view of their business processes and core production, and better utilize shop floor data that is crucial for improving operational efficiency and maximizing profitable manufacturing outcomes."
"Real-time reconciliation of information between Epicor ERP and Mattec MES ensures data integrity for supporting accurate scheduling, planning, monitoring, resourcing and costing," said the spokesperson. "The out-of-the box integration spans structural data, job scheduling and production reporting, effectively pulling data into a seamless bi-directional information environment. Users will benefit significantly from improvements in promise to order, labor and equipment utilization and business intelligence as a result of tighter integration and real-time feedback between Epicor ERP and Mattec MES. In addition, a real-time closed loop between the business systems and the plant floor provides an accurate up-to-the-minute view of machine and production availability for improving operational effectiveness and responsiveness."
