PearlChain's MES helps diverse manufacturing companies of discrete, process and food products to make optimal decisions based on one set of real-time data. 

PearlChain MES works as a communicator between the upper administrative layer and the automation layer. We plan and schedule the business processes using enriched master data and specific business rules, with a focus on the Value Adding activities of your business.

 

 

Manufacturing Business Challenges

• Every department has their own data. This way decisions on top level are sometimes made with suboptimal data. Therefore, one single source of truth is crucial
• To cut costs and find bottlenecks, the operation costs need to be more acurate
• Unexpected downtimes and an overload of inventory cost a lot of money

 

Critical Success factor

• Translation between upper administrative level and automation layer as key to ensure one single source of truth
• Availability of collaborative, integrated real-time planning and scheduling across all internal departments and suppliers

• Use of multi-enterprise, “control tower” planning with suppliers and distributors
• Integration with disparate systems
