VALMET AUTOMOTIVE
When Valmet Automotive started expanding its production in early 2008, its management systems needed a major upgrade to employ a more integrated system layout. The decision was made to implement an AVEVA MES solution which would tie together the company’s various production applications and automation devices to create a more easily manageable and reportable process.
The Valmet Automotive MES solution includes AVEVA System Platform, which supports simplified and consistent operations across a wide range of industrial operations and manufacturing facilities by eliminating inconsistent operational practices and measurements through a single model. By delivering a common set of application software services, application standards are created once as templates for re-use in any application with similar functionality.
The software features capabilities for collecting, tracking and communicating real-time equipment performance and efficiency information.
This application is scalable from the machine/equipment level information to line/plant enterprise processes to provide important key performance indicator (KPI) information used to evaluate the manufacturing process. It also delivers critical equipment downtime and efficiency information to
Valmet Automotive operators and decision-makers who can then take immediate action to improve plant performance and productivity.
Goals
- Allow production data to be easily transferred between automation and ERP systems
- Easily share production information between departments and company executives.
- Effectively manage the bill of materials and track and trace data used in the production of final products.
Challenges
- Due to the growing demand for energy-efficient electric cars, the company was eager to have an MES solution installed quickly to enable immediate acceleration of manufacturing...
