MES enables real-time collection of manufacturing data

IMCO Associates Inc. has partnered with Alpha 3i to introduce Alpha’s Cimag manufacturing execution system (MES) in the U.S. Cimag-MES enables manufacturing companies to collect data automatically in real time. The modular, flexible system seamlessly interfaces with a variety of ERP and other legacy systems.

According to the company, the software helps companies in a variety of industries to decrease manufacturing costs, minimize cycle times, avoid delays, prevent inventory imbalances, increase operator efficiency, and improve quality and productivity.

The MES helps enhance communications between the manufacturing and support teams. Maintenance, quality control, housekeeping, and EHS can react promptly to help minimize downtime.
