SCADA

SCADA stands for: Supervision Control And Data Acquisition

MES stand for: Manufacturing Execution Systems

A well engineered and designed data acquisition and control system is a key component in a strategy for minimizing operating expenses while maintaining reliable service. Reditech has provided engineering and design services for a wide array of SCADA systems, ranging from large substation and control centre systems to small automation and remote systems.

Reditech's experienced engineers can help justify, recommend, and provide design, engineering, and plans and specifications for: Complete data acquisition and control systems, replacement, upgrade, or expansion of existing systems.

The term MES describes several software functions that reside between ERP (enterprise resource planning) systems and manufacturing control systems.

MES makes it possible to pass information back and forth between an ERP system and PLC systems, distributed control systems, and SCADA systems on the floor of a manufacturing facility.

From the ERP system, the MES receives information on customer orders, bills of materials, drawings, resource requirements, process plans, work instructions, assembly steps, manufacturing process plans, raw materials, and inventory; it then translates this information into a manufacturing execution plan that reflects current conditions on the plant floor.

In executing the manufacturing plan, the MES exchanges information with inventory, Quality Control, and document management systems, and with shop-floor machine-control systems. Typical functions include work-order dispatch, work-order tracking, capacity scheduling, and report generation. The MES passes machine settings and parameters to the machine controllers and receives real-time feedback concerning job and process status.

These software functions can be achieved by using existing third-party software, ready to configure to your business needs, or can be realised as tailor made software using tools like SQL server, Oracle or Visual Basic.

With the higher demands for tracking and tracing the production process especially in sectors like food, pharmacy, automotive, etc.. Reditech can be your first move to tackle your questions and problems. Below are listed the most common used third-party software for obtaining these goals!
