We offer the possibility of implementing a pilot project at a selected workplace to familiarize yourself with the MES system environment, its control and benefits.
In this way, you can better assess the future benefits from the introduction of the MES system in your own environment.
What type of company is the pilot project intended for?
- A company engaged in discrete serial production – i.e., records on production operations are in pieces.
- The company is able to define a technological process with cycle time.
- Ideally a cycle time of seconds or minutes.
- We usually implement at workplaces from which we are able to automatically take the cycle of the machine/device – signal from the switchboard or OPC UA, DA communication, Euromap 63, Euromap 77, etc.
- Typical workplaces are injection moulding machine, CNC machine, single-purpose equipment/line…
Feasibility study part of the pilot project
- As part of the pilot project, we will thoroughly map the production environment and assess the requirements for future expansion of the MES system into the production plant.
- We will identify critical points in the production process.
- This is not a detailed process analysis!
Characteristics of the LITE pilot project
- It is the implementation of selected parts of the system at one selected workplace.
- Very fast turnaround – usually 6-8 weeks.
- Low demand for interaction from the Customer.
- This is usually an implementation without a connection to ERP.
- The data are entered into MES PHARIS by the Client manually or via the XLS importing system in cooperation with the Contractor.
- There is no detailed process analysis of the related processes upstream and downstream of the selected pilot site.
- The implementation is realized as isolated without any connection to other surroundings.
- The aim of the project is only to learn the user interface and basic principles of MES PHARIS from the Customer.
- For speed and low costs, no custom modifications are made.
Characteristics of the FULL pilot project
- This is the implementation of a complex system, including integration to third party ERP systems. The FULL pilot project is an analysis and implementation in a complex scope according to the Customer’s requirements, but only at one selected workplace.
- The advantage of Pilot FULL is the possibility of effective gradual expansion of the system to other workplaces.
- Implementation time – usually 6-8 months.
- Close cooperation from the Customer is required, especially in the analysis phase.
- The aim is to minimize manual inputs from the Customer to MES PHARIS in order to ensure maximum data synchronization with the ERP system.
- A process analysis of the related processes upstream and downstream of the selected pilot site is underway.
- During the FULL project, a detailed specification, preparation and creation of the structure of master data, especially technological procedures for effective gradual expansion of the system to other workplaces is underway.
- The implementation is implemented with a link to other environments in order to prepare the process of easy extension to other sites.
- Within the FULL Pilot Project, the Contractor configures the system according to the Customer’s processes.
- For the purpose of the implementation of the FULL Pilot Project, the Contractor is renting MES PHARIS licenses.
- After the implementation of the FULL project, the Customer is fully trained and is able to implement the gradual expansion of the system by its own forces with the assistance of the Contractor.
Possibility of continuation by subscription
In order to avoid further investment in the system, the Pilot Project can be continued continuously in the form of a Lease, see the Subscription licensing model.
