Complete MES Solutions

Transparency is a key concern for all manufacturing businesses today. With increasingly severe constraints being imposed by governments, standards organizations, customers and shareholders, it is vital for company management to always know what is going on in its own operations.

The MPDV Hydra MES concept brings all critical functions of a manufacturing enterprise together into a single system in order to provide complete transparency across all operations.

MPDV has joined the e-F@ctory Alliance to further support the goal of extending Mitsubishi Electric’s own solutions by combining them with complementary best in class solutions from third parties. MPDV’s Hydra MES is the enterprise IT complement to Mitsubishi Electric’s MES Interface IT. This module for the iQ Platform provides a simple and quickly deployed information channel directly from the shop floor to IT systems such as Hydra.

For the collection and management of production data from the shop floor, Hydra provides a comprehensive solution. The raw data is provided by the MES Interface IT, and then processed to provide extensive visibility of a wide range of critical production information.

Of course, it’s not enough to know there is a problem. Ideally, the MES system should be able to predict it, so corrective action can occur before scrap is produced. Hydra’s process data collection module provides this ability.

As well as being focused on shop floor operations, Hydra also offers a wealth of enterprise management capabilities, covering material and production logistics, production scheduling and more.

MPDV offers full support for SAP® installations, with certified connectivity to a range of SAP® modules. Hence current SAP® users can specify a Hydra based MES solution with confidence.
