Central management of control programs

The correct version of the program is always available

MES PHARIS allows you to get rid of chaos and find the right version of the program on USB flash drives, service notebooks, floppy disks or CDs. Stop scrolling through the crowded memory of the machine control system to find the correct program for adjustment. Thanks to the central program management module, you will always know exactly about every change in the parameters and control programs of the machine.
Centralization of control programs in MES PHARIS offers unified controlled management of versions and variants of control programs. The system will automatically ensure controlled upload of the correct version to the appropriate device.
You are able to effectively transfer responsibility from the setter to an authorized person who approves and releases the control programs.

Controlled process of uploading control programs according to IATF 16949

Is your production subject to customer audits? Do you need a tool that can meet the strict requirements of automotive, ideally also in accordance with the principles of Industry 4.0?

Central program management is implemented in MES PHARIS with the requirements of quality management standards of automotive suppliers. Within these standards, it meets the requirements for registration, approval and centrally controlled distribution of programs to machinery and equipment.

Recording of programs into injection molding machines and vice versa

MES PHARIS offers a wide range of communication drivers for communication with injection molding machines via the Data Collection module.

Selected control program management functionalities:

• Centralized program management on the MES PHARIS server,
• versioning and releasing programs,
• assigning a program to an injection molding machine, mold or product,
• control of the process of loading the program into the injection moulding machine – fully automatic or initiated by the setter,
• the possibility of re-uploading the program to the MES after adjusting the parameters with the setter,
• automatic monitoring of changes in settings and alarms in injection molding machines and their download to the MES server.

DNC in metalworking

MES PHARIS enables central program management for CNC machines:

• The uploading of the program itself is initiated by the operator directly from the MES
  PHARIS production client,
• the system pre-offers a program that is intended for a given machine and product,
• for communication with CNC machines, MES PHARIS uses a number of communication drivers.

Recording of parameters into production and assembly lines

MES PHARIS enables controlled uploading of programs/parameters to the control systems of production and assembly lines.

MES PHARIS supports two transmission modes:

• automatic mode – based on loading the work order or piece, MES PHARIS is able to choose a set of approved control parameters or a program from the central database of the MES system and upload it to the PLC,
• initiation of transfer by the operator – an authorized person initiates the transfer of the program to the device in MES PHARIS via a production terminal located directly at the workplace.

Benefits of controlled recording of control programs

With the Central Control Program Management module you get:

• A unified, centralized program repository on the MES server,
• control of the process of uploading the control program to the device in accordance with
  IATF 16949,
• the possibility of delegating the person responsible for the preparation of programs and their approval,
• the setter works only with approved programs offered by the system,
• archiving, traceability and safe storage of programs,
• controlled monitoring of device changes and alarms. Option to use the Alarms and Escalation Module.
