Flexible batch formation: Flexible batch formation not only saves time and material, but also optimizes production processes, as orders enter production more quickly and manual intervention is reduced.
Production Management
ControllerMES
Full control for production: The manufacturing execution system ControllerMES
The networking of machines and production processes in times of digitalization makes a production control system indispensable. ControllerMES offers a modular, scalable and flexible software package for optimal production planning, control and monitoring. From the acceptance of your job data to the completeness check after final assembly.
Automatic stack layout: Automatic stack layout ensures optimally stacked components in the required production sequence and significantly reduces the search times for components.
Customized dashboards: Complete and comprehensive visibility as to your production performance through the use of simple and flexible dashboards.
Features
Complete control over the production process
ControllerMES automatically reports back the production key figures for the entire production process, fully compiles the information and makes it available to the production control system to ensure a timely intervention at all times. Dashboards-also known as cockpits-visualize the production status using key figures. In this way, you can immediately detect bottlenecks and irregularities and react immediately. The production progress and job progress are displayed at all times. You can see at a glance where your customer job is and whether it is complete. A presentation can be created in flexible dashboards for employees, team and plant management, including analyses of material consumption at part or job level.Simple interfaces to other systems
ControllerMES ensures intelligently networked information flows - both within production and for your job entry, for example your ERP. With ControllerMES, the data from the upstream system is adapted to your production system and completed based on rules. Interfaces to all standard CAD/CAM systems, such as HOMAG iX, are available for this purpose and can be customized to suit individual customers. It is also possible to connect working hours or machine data recording systems so that all necessary information is available in one system.Automatic and manual feedback
The ControllerMES enables direct feedback on the production progress of networked machines (e.g. panel dividing saw, nesting, edge banding machine, CNC machine, sorting and buffer storage and more). Machines from all manufacturers can be connected with bidirectional communication points. What's more, feedback at workstations is also obtainable, e.g. for checking the completeness of component groups in manual sorting processes by scanning barcodes.
Special features
Creation of production data
The ControllerMES optimizes the data quality of the production orders and generates all the data required for production.

Production control
The ControllerMES enables customer-specific and therefore flexible production control - manually, semi-automatically and automatically.
Sorting and order picking
ControllerMES enables the mapping of customer-specific parts carriers (e.g. picking trolley) as well as sorting and assembling parts according to defined criteria.
Generation of production batches
The ControllerMES enables material consumption to be reduced while increasing productivity at the same time.
Modular construction
Based on the ControllerMES basic package, software modules can be added depending on individual requirements. These are then adapted to your production environment. As a dynamic solution, the production control system can be updated and therefore grow with the surrounding software landscape and your production.
