Optimizing operations with GEA Codex® MES
GEA Codex® MES
GEA Codex® MES is a suite of applications that meet the current and future demands of manufacturing execution systems and manufacturing operations management (MES/MOM), including interfacing with enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. Taking a modular approach, GEA Codex® MES applications can be integrated into a tailor-made solution.
In the current economy, manufacturing facilities are required to be more flexible, handle smaller batch sizes, increase performance while reducing the costs, deliver higher quality products with less waste and achieve shorter times to market.
The way to achieve these goals is to implement an MES that allows you to digitalize your production processes and manage them in real-time.
The MES acts as a central hub for the collection and management of data, facilitating efficient vertical integration between the business systems and the shop floor, and horizontal integration along the entire supply chain from raw material to finished goods.
Yet, each customer and every plant have different requirements as such there are many paths to ensuring business success.
