PLANNING OF MEASURING EQUIPMENT TOGETHER WITH A MACHINE-TOOL FLEET WITH THE HELP OF MES-SYSTEM

Abstract

MES systems are one of the tools of The industry 4.0 concept. MES systems plan technological operations performed at certain workplaces. The main tasks solved by systems of this class include optimization, operational planning, production process management, operational recalculation of the production schedule. Mechanism used in MES-systems for calculating production schedules allows to take into account the interrelation of all elements of the operational plan, to ensure the choice of alternative technological routes and the adaptive mode of material flow management. MES allows you to simulate different production situations, for example, to calculate the optimal load of the equipment in the event of a machine failure. It allows to plan the production schedule in case of need of carrying out planned or extraordinary repairing of the equipment. The production schedule in the MES system is visualized using a Gantt chart.In the Russian Federation, MES-systems are increasingly recognized.MES systems are especially in demand in enterprises with multi-level technological processes, which depend on many factors.When implementing the MES-system in the technical control department, the data of defective products obtained by measuring any parameters on the measuring equipment are transferred to the MES-system. Next, the production schedule is recalculated in order to optimally load the machine-tool fleet. Thus, the introduction of the MES-system can improve the efficiency of the entire enterprise.
