How We Work
Seamless Add Real-Time Performance, Quality, and Production Event Tracking
At its core, CoreM accesses production data from across your plant and integrates with various systems, including PLCs, sensors, manual records, spreadsheets, ERP, and more. This diverse data is transformed into actionable events, each containing detailed information such as conditions, start and end times, quantities, reasons, root causes, and necessary actions.
CoreM enhances this data by providing context, such as shift details, process order information, and SKU specifics. It aggregates and analyzes this information, detecting significant events and transforming them into actionable insights. By recording and analyzing all data, CoreM enables informed decision-making.
Furthermore, the recorded data can be stored in a data lake and combined with other enterprise data for advanced analytics such as AI and ML. This integration optimizes the entire enterprise, leading to enhanced efficiency and productivity.
Manufacturing Technology Integration
Unlock the full potential of your manufacturing operations with CoreM’s seamless integration with your existing SCADA and Historian solutions. From customizable downtime tracking to IEE and product quality management, CoreM offers a comprehensive suite of features tailored to optimize your processes.
Our adaptable architecture ensures you can leverage your current investments by effortlessly integrating CoreM on top of your existing technologies. With CoreM’s intuitive low code development environment, you gain a unified view of your operations, streamlining processes, reducing manual effort, eliminating errors, and enhancing communication
and more!
CoreM Helps Manufacturer’s Find Losses, Improve Quality, and Reduce Costs
Boost Efficiency OEE
Improve efficiency by tracking and monitoring equipment effectiveness (OEE), downtime, waste, production counts, MTBF, MTTR, and more. Associate events with causes, analyze to identify root causes. Enhance standard OEE to deliver maximum results.
Greater Visibility Dashboards
Summarize and analyze data by context. Correlate events and reasons to production parameters. Use standard & ad-hoc reports and dashboards for real-time decisions. Our Manufacturing Intelligence solutions offer comprehensive visibility into the production process, providing detailed tracking and tracing capabilities for materials, products, and equipment, which can be crucial for regulatory compliance and effective supply chain management.
Reduce Waste
Minimize rework, errors, and waste by gaining better visibility into data quality and staying informed about recall information. Drive precision by visualizing, analyzing, optimizing, and executing with a closed-loop solution.
Improve Quality
Our MES solution improves product quality through real-time trends, statistics, and notifications. It integrates data from manual and automated sources, providing a single, centralized location for process, inspection, and test information. It also supports 21 CFR Part 11 compliance and allows for attaching operator comments, specifications, recipes, and procedure documents.
ERP Integration
ERP integration closes the information flow gap in real-time and transforms production by updating ERP orders, quality, and material usage. Any size manufacturing company can benefit from MES to ERP connectivity. We have provided real-time interfaces to SAP, Microsoft, Oracle and others.
Unify Your Data
We believe in working with a data modeling structure to unify your business data. The ISA-95 framework is a good reference for modeling by, Site, Area, Line, Cell to Edge. Once in place this Unified Namespace structure provides a powerful way to access data, structured and unstructured.
