FIMS (Factory Information Management System)
FIMS is a scalable collection of tools designed to capture data from multiple sources within a Factory, Manufacturing or Production environment which is then collated into a database and analysed over time to provide live and historic reports on a WEB or Desktop based Dashboard applications, this gives live data access to the majority of devices available today which can be accessed globally. Extending the traditional Manufacturing Execution System (MES) model, FIMS interfaces to Control (PLC), Monitoring (SCADA) and Resource Planning Systems (ERP).
FIMS allows focus on improving the productivity and quality in the Factory to ensure that product efficiencies are maintained and data is visible to all that need to see the current status at varying levels in the factory process. This is achieved by using your data to provide visual indications at many levels within your process.
FIMS allows the recording and monitoring of all relevant data within the factory with a work flow triggered by an order being presented to the system. This is then tracked through the factory collating information along the way until the order is shipped. This data is then used to provide Key Performance Indicators and Status Indicators for each step in the factory process.
