Managing Extreme Vertical Integration with a Single MES
Webinar
Modeling and integrating MES with other systems is challenging enough when your factory manufactures one type of product with similar flows. But what if your MES implementation includes a variety of manufacturing modes, product types, volumes, and varying degrees of automation? What if your industry is regulated? What if your task is to implement all this variety in a single MES instance? Ultradent is currently implementing MES, beginning with Electronic Batch Record across a variety of production lines in their Utah manufacturing location.
