SIMATIC IT Manufacturing There are a variety of manufacturing information technology (IT)
Execution System systems. For example, manufacturing facilities have long used
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems to manage the flow
of materials associated with manufacturing processes. In recent
years, many companies have also been using a Manufacturing
Execution System (MES). While the function and definition
of an MES varies depending upon the supplier and the specific
software suite purchased, an MES is designed to provide timely
production information that enables manufacturing personnel
to improve operational efficiency and reduce costs.
Siemens SIMATIC IT is a set of software suites designed in
compliance with the ISA-95 industry standard that operates
in harmony with ERP systems. SIMATIC IT reduces the cost to
deploy an MES by allowing customers to choose from a set of
software bundles to achieve the specific functionality needed.
