MES

MES for greater Transparency in Manufacturing

In many manufacturing facilities, the necessary data has long been available. What is often missing is a clear view of what is currently happening on the production floor and where processes can be improved.

A+B Solutions has been working on the digitization of manufacturing processes for more than 40 years. This experience gave rise to FIT, a modular MES and manufacturing information solution designed to meet the actual requirements of production. Companies can start where the greatest benefit lies and expand the solution later as needed.

FIT integrates information from manufacturing and enterprise IT and makes it usable for work planning, production, and control. At the same time, the solution helps digitally preserve manufacturing knowledge and make it permanently available within the company.
