Visualization and reporting

What does visualization mean in production?

In simple terms, visualization means putting the collected data into a “visible” form – for example as clear diagrams, graphics or with interactive real-time dashboards. Instead of confusing columns of figures, you get a clear picture of production or the entire company and can see trends, correlations and anomalies at a glance, making it easier to share information across teams.

With Digital Manufacturing, both the MES solutions SAP Digital Manufacturing and MES FLEX from FORCAM ENISCO can be used to achieve complete transparency of your production and thus optimize the workflow.

Content Reporting

• Efficiency: Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), machine availability, performance level, quality rate, etc.
• Costs: material costs, production costs, energy costs, personnel costs, etc.
• Quality: scrap rate, complaints, etc.

2) Material flow

• Stock levels: raw material, intermediate products, finished products, etc.
• Material movements: Incoming goods, outgoing goods, etc.

3) Personnel

• Attendance: working hours, vacation, illness
• Productivity: pieces per hour, production quantity per employee

4) Machines and systems

• Machine running times: Operating hours, downtimes, downtimes
• Maintenance: maintenance intervals, maintenance carried out, upcoming maintenance

Reporting by target group

• Management: Strategic decisions, performance overview,
• Production manager: Operational decisions, process optimization, bottleneck analysis
• Employees: Independent work, progress monitoring, suggestions for improvement

Reporting by frequency

• Real-time reporting: live data, machine status, current production figures
• Daily reporting: daily production, material consumption, reject rate
• Weekly reporting: weekly overview, trend analysis, target achievement
• Monthly reporting: month-end closing, cost analysis, performance comparison
• Annual reporting: annual report, benchmarking, strategy evaluation

Reporting according to objectives

• Pareto analysis: Identification of the main causes of problems and focus on the most important areas for improvement
• Predefined reports: Standardized reports for regular reviews and comparisons

How do the modular MES solutions from SAP Digital Manufacturing and FORCE MES FLEX from FORCAM ENISCO work?

What advantages do they offer?

Especially in industrial manufacturing, visualization and reporting are decisive factors in the analysis and ultimately optimization of production processes. Modern Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) such as SAP Digital Manufacturing orMES FLEX from FORCAM ENISCO offer comprehensive options for recording, visualizing and analyzing production data in real time and initiating improvement processes based on the KPIs.

1) Real-time transparency for well-founded decisions

• Comprehensive overview: Visualization of the entire value chain, from hall layout and production status to important KPIs.
• Real-time data: Live dashboards allow you to keep an eye on the current status of production at all times and identify bottlenecks or problems at an early stage.
• Customized dashboards: Configuration of clear and interactive dashboards that are tailored to the needs of the company.

2) Identify optimization potential and increase efficiency

• Data analysis: using comprehensive reports and analyzes to uncover inefficiencies in processes and identify the causes of problems.
• Continuous improvement: Use tools such as Pareto analysis to continuously improve processes and reduce overall order turnaround time.
• Informed decisions: Based on the insights gained, data-based decisions can be made and targeted measures taken to increase efficiency.

3) Promote employee engagement and increase motivation

• Transparency and information: creating a better understanding of the process and promoting employee engagement through visually prepared information.
• Feedback loops: Integrating employees through regular feedback loops and thereby increasing motivation.
