Paperless production
The Instructions module makes it possible to link production orders and workplaces with relevant production documentation, such as production and technological procedures, assembly procedures, drawings, manuals, parts lists, adjustment sheets, tool sheets or safety guidelines or other organizational regulations, and thus follows on from the Statistical Quality Control modules, Maintenance Control or Tool Management, which allows documentation to be linked to quality plans, inspection instructions, measurement procedures, production facilities, tools, maintenance or spare parts or chemicals.
The Instructions module gives the possibility to work with both document format and video format and provides high comfort to users of production terminals, including the ability to display multiple documents at the same time or touch control and zoom/zoom in details even when using larger drawing formats.
Workers at the relevant workplaces are automatically alerted to the documentation that is available to them or that they are required to familiarize themselves with, including confirmation that they have done so, which is especially appropriate for new versions of documentation or for new organizational or security measures.
Management in the Instructions module sets the rules according to which relevant documents are available at individual workplaces, as well as procurement overview of their confirmation by workers at production terminals, while documents can be linked through defined data stores or the MES system's own documentation database. Linking with ERP or DMS systems or other data sources is also possible.
Within the Act-in MES system, the Instructions module mainly uses links to the Field Client, Performance Analyzer or Production Scheduler modules.
