Systematically planning and controlling complex production processes
Managing production processes is a complex challenge. The reasons for this range from the number and interlinking of production steps and the integration of the IT systems involved to the maintenance of production equipment and workforce scheduling. Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) encompasses the broad spectrum of production-related functions, including the planning, scheduling and execution of production orders. CONTACT's MOM solution provides a transparent overall picture of your production processes. It seamlessly connects your product development with your production and thus enables end-to-end digital control.
Benefits
- Maximize availability of machinery and equipment
- Basis for continuous improvement of production processes
- Transparency from shopfloor to management
- Live data from production for smooth processes – from machine control to management reports
- Efficient support and flexible coordination of production teams
- Multi-site architecture for high performance across all locations
Maximize the availability and performance of your assets
Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) enables you to map the complexity of your production in detail using digital twins. Use the as-maintained condition, including changes due to maintenance, as a basis for planning, implementing and documenting maintenance, repair and overhaul processes (MRO).
Dashboards provide you with an overview of the utilization of machines as well as personnel deployment, shift planning and maintenance. This enables flexible, demand-oriented maintenance planning that ensures high availability of your equipment. With real-time KPIs on production progress and a data-based control logic, you significantly reduce the coordination effort on the shopfloor and maximize the performance of your production.

Gain transparency from the shopfloor to the management level
The Shopfloor Navigator provides production and plant managers as well as shift supervisors with the appropriate information in clear dashboards. This means that you always have an overview of which customer order is currently being processed in which plant at which workstation and can immediately analyze the reasons for downtimes or rejects.
Transfer production orders with assignments for plants and shifts directly from the ERP system and expand them with live data from production such as machine control or sensor data. With these aggregated digital shopfloor files, you fulfill verification obligations, obtain starting points for automation and produce more economically.

Coordinate your production team efficiently and flexibly
CONTACT's MOM solution supports your shift and personnel scheduling as well as machine assignment. This allows your production management to schedule teams for upcoming production orders in shifts and assign them to the corresponding machines.
With flexible shift systems, rotation profiles and substitution rules, you minimize personnel-related downtimes and optimize workflows with standardized shift handover processes. Machine operators are also efficiently supported: All production documents required for your tasks, such as drawings, process and safety instructions, can be found in one system.
