Production and material logistics, JIS

Customers require manufacturers to provide digital, unbiased monitoring and traceability of production parameters. Production conditions are usually demonstrated in customer audits. At the same time, traceability helps manufacturers maintain a constant – required quality of production. We are able to ensure the traceability of production for a production batch, a packaging unit (KLT boxes, wire baskets, crates) or for each manufactured part – a unique piece identification.

MES PHARIS Production Logistics module provides you with an overview of which goods or semi-finished products are being produced, in what quantities and where they are stored outside of standard stock (pending work orders). It is an interactive plugin for MES PHARIS, which offers significant added value for material management in SAP or other ERP systems in real time.

In ERP system, raw materials and inventories of finished products are usually posted back as soon as the whole production order is completed. Conversely, MES PHARIS offers significantly higher level of detail in addition to significantly shorter delay times.
When using MES PHARIS, you can count the products and semi-finished products produced on any production operation of a production order in progress. Therefore, accurate and up-to-date information on material consumption and manufactured stocks is available online at any time.

Just In Sequence

It is a module of production logistics that ensures control of the prescribed sequence of manufactured pieces, i.e. according to the JIS (Just In Sequence) system. This may be a key area that the customer may require from the manufacturer and is a prerequisite for winning a new project. The principle of Just In Sequence (JIS) is that products are manufactured and filled into a container in the order in which the pieces are delivered to the customer according to the JIS principle. The MES PHARIS system within the JIS module checks the loading of the correct product at the workplace in the prescribed sequence. Another control is the quality control of the product. If the checks do not go well, further processing of the product is blocked. To resolve a blocked production, it is possible to use a call to the quality engineer from the production terminal, who has the authority to unblock the production. The process is completed by printing a container label.  

KANBAN – system of advanced material management requirements in production

The KANBAN module is used to manage material requirements in production. The system ensures the creation of material requirements according to the current and future needs of production facilities and workplaces. Operators can create requests for material delivery to a given workplace. In addition to the material delivery, the system also handles the removal of materials (finished products and waste) from the production facility. Material requests are further processed by warehouse operators. The requests are used to retrieve the requested material and to prepare the material for delivery to the machine/workplace. The material requirements are further processed by the material handlers who ensure that the material is picked up and delivered to the ordering location. Handlers see a queue of requests to be moved from their current position to a new position. All pick, drop and pick requests are created and managed by staff using tablets or production terminals.
