SOLUTION

MES PHARIS provides comprehensive management of the molding shop and assembly workshop, including data collection from machines, quality management, visualizations and more. Part of the project is a solution of two-way communication with ERP HELIOS. Kasko is a reference workplace of MES PHARIS.

Implementation of MES system faced many challenges, with one of the largest being the connection of all IMMs, regardless of their age, brand and technical capabilities. Besides machines supporting industry standards (Euromap 63), MES PHARIS also receives data from machines that communicate only via the parallel LPT interface. MES PHARIS proved to be very flexible with connecting of machinery. This allowed full-scale digitization of production, including very old machines.
