What it is
TopTeep MES (Manufacturing Execution System) is a software platform designed to optimize and manage manufacturing processes. It connects the shop floor and collects real-time data to help manufacturers gain better visibility into their production operations, enhance coordination across teams, and boost overall efficiency.
Why we build it
This is the time when Industry 4.0 is transforming the manufacturing sector into a more intelligent, connected, and agile system, driven by the digitalization of operations. In this context, TopTeep MES plays a vital role in supporting smart, connected, and data-driven manufacturing. Built with Industry 4.0 in mind, TopTeep contributes significantly to the digital transformation toward the smart factory, offering the flexibility, efficiency, and scalability required to remain competitive in a fast-changing manufacturing environment.
When can it go live
As a cloud-based SaaS (Software as a Service) solution, TopTeep MES is a system that enables quick factory configuration and setup, typically within just a few hours. It collects real-time data from the production lines using advanced hardware designed for easy installation. The installation process can be performed by someone with basic technical knowledge or with assistance from the TopTeep technical team, ensuring a smooth and efficient setup. This allows TopTeep MES to be up and running quickly, enabling your factory to immediately start benefiting from it.
How does it benefit
Efficiency isn't just a goal - it's a necessity
The TopTeep system provides an important tool for managing and optimizing manufacturing operations. By connecting the shop floor with TopTeep, operators, planners, and managers are empowered to work more efficiently and collaboratively, taking advantage of the many benefits this solution offers:
Real-Time Monitoring
Real-time visibility into the production process is provided through TopTeep MES, which tracks the status of production lines and work orders (jobs), offering managers and operators up-to-date information. This enables better decision-making and allows for a quicker response to issues, reducing downtime and improving overall efficiency.
Enhanced Scheduling and Planning
By bridging the gap between high-level planning and actual shop floor production, TopTeep plays a key role in improving scheduling and planning efficiency. It provides planners with powerful tools and real-time insights, making scheduling and planning work more accurate, agile, and efficient. Planners can utilize graphical timeline interfaces, synced with real-time data, to view the current status of work orders (jobs) and production lines, enabling faster decision-making and reducing scheduling errors. If a production line goes down, materials are delayed, or priorities change, the TopTeep allows planners to reschedule work orders instantly simply by dragging and dropping them on the timeline to reschedule or assign them to different resources.
Improved Production Efficiency
Monitoring and controlling various aspects of the production process ensures that resources, such as machines, materials, and labor, are utilized efficiently. By tracking key performance metrics like machine utilization, production rates, and material consumption, TopTeep MES helps identify inefficiencies in the process. This enables manufacturers to minimize delays, reduce bottlenecks, and prevent production errors, ensuring a more efficient flow of operations.
Better Quality Control
TopTeep enables operators to record data about scrap production as it occurs. Whenever a part is identified as scrap, it can be immediately logged into the system. The system supports the classification of scrap based on various custom criteria, such as the type of defect (e.g., dimensional issues, surface defects, material failures) or the cause (e.g., machine malfunction, material issues). By tracking scrap data over time, TopTeep MES supports root cause analysis. If scrap rates rise above normal levels, the issue can be traced back to specific machines, work orders, or processes.
Energy Consumption Optimization
Tracking electricity consumption on production lines provides users with valuable insights to optimize energy usage and reduce operational costs. Real-time monitoring reveals consumption patterns and highlights inefficiencies, such as excess power use during non-productive periods. This enables smarter energy management, supports cost-saving decisions, and contributes to greater sustainability while reducing environmental impact.
Data-Driven Decision-Making
With a range of statistics, charts, and reports covering stoppages, production speed, scrap data, energy consumption, and more, along with key performance indicators such as TEEP (Total Effective Equipment Performance) and OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness), users gain valuable insights that support data-driven decision-making. These insights help optimize operations and improve overall performance.
