PRESSEMITTEILUNGEN

(pressebox) Schwerin, 25.03.2009, The TH EWI Best Practice solution (Electronic Work Instruction) has been designed and customized for process industry requirements. It enables integration of shop floor and quality management processes in one single application at MES level.

Retaining SAP ERP as the leading system throughout the complete process avoids double data management or maintenance. The solution’s local order queue ensures order processing on the shop floor independent of SAP availability and prohibits downtime and data loss in case of failures.

An intuitively operable web interface guides production staff through the entire manufacturing process. TH EWI Best Practice generates respective electronic work instructions for selected process orders. Additional production documents, if available, are provided together with the work instruction. Flexible print-outs of labels and material lists can also be triggered from the process.

At the stage of order processing already, material consumption, incoming goods, working hours and machine times as well as quality data are entered directly into the work instruction by the operating personnel, or are automatically collected from a PCS/Batch system. In this way, TH EWI Best Practice considerably reduces the "black hole" or information deficit during the ongoing production process. Confirmations to the SAP PP-PI or SAP QM system including electronic signature are forwarded and recorded near-real time.

The solution has been developed with the SAP MII integration software. It therefore provides functionalities for seamless integration into SAP and for integration of different production systems. Designed for industry-sector and process-specific requirements, the standardized implementation method additionally significantly reduces rollout times and efforts.

Trebing & Himstedt will present the TH EWI Best Practice solution live at the SAP AG shared exhibition stand at the ACHEMA 2009 (hall 10.1., stand F36-G39).
