4. With CableMES, if a machine is running below its target speed for the product
it is producing, this is immediately detected, and visible to all. This real-time
information enables immediate action to be taken to resolve the issue and
make sure all machines are running as expected.
Historically, this data is also crucial for analyzing trends across product
groups, process types, shift formations, and shift patterns for production and
process improvement, including automatic generation of Overall Equipment
Effectiveness.

5. Quality control is inherent in every aspect of CableMES, from quality plans to
quality data recording. Analysis of quality losses traceability and non-conformance
management play a key role in managing product through the manufacturing cycle.
CableMES prevents errors from occurring. It will block incorrect raw materials from
being used. It will immediately highlight an error and make it visible to all and
once an error has been identified it will not allow the reel or drum with the error to
progress any further in the production process.

The biggest benefit of CableMES is having the ability to see
real time information happening on the manufacturing floor
through OPC. This will allow our supervisors to closely monitor
the performance of each machine/operator and allow our
process techs to identify issues as soon as they happen.

6. Each key role within the manufacturing process has very specific
requirements to ensure operational effectiveness is maintained.
Whether that is the day-to-day sequencing of production orders or
longer-term analysis of Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) they
need to mesh together into a single coherent team.
CableMES utilizes the extremely powerful Historian tool, provided
by Wonderware, which is capable of collecting any process data.
Users can correlate this data with process and quality alarms to
an exact length of cable produced, in order to identify trends and
provide long term benchmarks.
Historian and CableMES come with a wealth of reports that allow
management to take strategic view of the business and to drill
down to the cause of an event.
