New Epicor Mattec system 'features human machine interface'


DUBAI, May 20, 2015

Epicor Software Corporation, a leader in business software solutions for retail, manufacturing, distribution, and services organizations, has launched its next-generation Epicor Mattec manufacturing execution system (MES) featuring a new high-performance embedded human machine interface (HMI) to support improved shop floor operator productivity and responsiveness.

The new embedded shop floor HMI will give manufacturers the ability to connect, manage and monitor processes and systems via any browser-enabled computing device, said a statement.

The result will be greater shop floor insight through real-time visibility with metrics, machine status, instructions, alerts and notifications to keep plant operators, management, and engineering apprised of all manufacturing operations, it said.

Supporting an exceptional out-of-the-box experience with no software to load, the new interface will enable shop floor personnel to effortlessly manage the plant with maximum efficiency and responsiveness.

The ease of access to critical information will reduce or eliminate the risk of non-compliance, while improving reliability, process efficiencies and availability and production throughout.

The new Epicor Mattec MES embedded shop floor HMI will reduce training and deployment time, enable manufactures to expand mobile operations, and accommodate the wide variety of devices in use today on the shop floor, while supporting the needs and expectations of today’s uber-connected next-generation employee.

The solution can be configured to meet specific needs via configurable metrics and charts and through connection to external web services or sites.

The manufacturers also can incorporate embedded context-based videos, PDF files, and personalised information panels, supporting the move to a paperless shop floor environment.

Featuring pre-built, best practice workflows for standard shop floor operations, additional workflows and rich content can also be added to improve operator and maintenance responsiveness, and to lower downtime associated with maintenance, changeovers, setup and increase shop flow productivity.

Tom Muth, senior manager, product marketing, Epicor MES, said: “The adoption of industrial software solutions continues to be driven by consumer trends such as BYOD, Internet of Things, simple customisation and pervasive analytics.

“Manufacturers expect the same flexibility and user experience on the plant floor, but with reliability, security and real-time performance required for industrial environments. The new Epicor Mattec MES embedded shop floor HMI improves operator productivity, mobility, and effectiveness on the shop floor with greater flexibility to deploy the system that best meets the needs of manufacturers and their customers.” - TradeArabia News Service
