Factory System Overview and Integration

★★★★★

The Factory MES System has become the heart of the Industry 4.0 / Smart Factory trend. Unlike ERP / SFC systems, MES Systems effectively Control and Track the flow of Product in the factory with full traceability. MES Systems also intelligently communicate with Factory Equipment, Automation Cells and a variety of Quality and other Factory Applications, resulting in a more Automated Production Process. At Athena, Siemens Opcenter MES is the Centerpiece of our MOM Consulting Practice. With Siemens, a well established leader in MOM / Manufacturing Operations Management, we are likewise proud to be a Siemens Strategic Alliance Partner.

Factory Systems Integration creates intelligent connections between Factory Systems and Factory Assets. The key is to first align around the Production Life Cycle and then to digitally connect all the Digitally capable Assets within for each Operational step. In the Smart Factory, PLM, ERP, MES and CMMS are integrated along their respective process life Cycles. Likewise, to gain the value of a Smart Factory, the MES System is also integrated with; Factory Equipment, Quality Systems, Automation Controls and other Digitally capable Factory Systems to achieve orders of magnitude in Production benefits. These include; Higher Yield, Increased Production output, reduced human dependencies and Product cost. In Summary, The Smart Factory is essentially a ‘Connected Factory’.

Analytics

Industry 4.0 Smart Factory Analytics add enormous value to the Manufacturing Enterprise versus historical reporting platforms. Smart Factory Analytics collect data from factory digital assets and systems enabling production visibility in real-time, trend-based, descriptive and predictive formats.

One of the key benefits is driving production toward KPI targets and enabling accurate root cause analysis. Organizations strive for yield, equipment utilization, and quality performance.

Smart Factory Analytics provide daily cycles of learning with rapid issue identification to support faster remediation.

Testimonial

PsiQuantum

PsiQuantum

We partnered with Athenatec to develop and scale our Manufacturing Execution System (MES) as our operations rapidly evolved from tracking individual wafers and decoupled processes to managing multiple production lines, diverse subassembly SKUs, and complex downstream workflows.Athenatec demonstrated a strong understanding of our requirements and consistently delivered high-quality solutions on time. Their ability to quickly develop API services enabled seamless integration between our engineering systems and their manufacturing platform, significantly improving operational efficiency while supporting our custom requirements.What stands out most is their team’s experience and adaptability. They are reliable, responsive, and collaborative, helping us navigate challenges and effectively interface with partners like Siemens to resolve complex issues.Athenatec has been a critical partner in scaling our manufacturing capabilities. I would strongly recommend them to any organization configuring, implementing, or optimizing an MES system.

Marki Microwave

Marki Microwave

We reviewed several MES suppliers and selected Siemens Opscenter MES / APS as the best fit for Marki Microwave. Selecting the platform is part of the journey but a successful implementation requires an experienced system integrator. We choose Athena Technologies as our implementation partner as they had several successful implementations in the electronics / medical devices customers. The company resourced our project with an experienced project manager and technical team who were flexible and collaborated well with our small internal team to ensure we get the solution that fits the needs of our manufacturing operations. We used a phase and sprint approach to complete our implementation in a 9-month time frame. We will continue to work together with Athena to carry out continuous process improvement and harmonization to deliver greater efficiency and quality to meet our customers’ demands today and well into the more digital future.

Viavi

Viavi

Through Athena’s exhaustive efforts and deep domain expertise, we were able to implement a ‘Viavi Aligned Solution’ of Siemens Opcenter 8.x that met our complex MES System requirements. This was done via streamlined manufacturing processes, user friendly UI/ UX, seamless integration with our factory equipment / metrology and a single source for factory insights. Athena utilized Industry 4.0 foundations and architected a cookie-cutter approach that is ready for all our global factories.
