NEXUS CORE STUDIO / EXPERTISE

Production & machine monitoring

MES and machine monitoring that connects PLC signals, work orders and operator activities.

Work orders and operations

Link CAM data to work orders, assign machines and operators, execute steps on tablets and record running and downtime.

Production visibility

Monitor machine states, downtime reasons, production and scrap counts, quality parameters and OEE components together.

Integration boundaries

Machine connectivity depends on the controller and protocol inventory. Direct NC transfer and offline operation require separate assessment.

Identity and event relationships

Link machine events with products, work orders and batches. Account for splits, merges and rework. Test wrong labels, repeated scans and missing events. A production report should be traceable back to its source records.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Clear questions. Direct answers.

How do MES and PLC differ?

A PLC controls the machine. MES links machine and operator data to work orders for production, downtime and quality visibility.

Can existing machines be connected?

Connectivity depends on controllers, available signals and communication protocols. A machine inventory and sample data review define integration scope.

Can history be traced in both directions?

Forward and backward tracing can be designed within scope, provided the necessary relationships exist or are collected.
