What is LightMES?

Manufacturing an optimal environment for your production line at a low cost by using only those functions you need for production management.

The system has been designed based on know-how cultivated within OMRON, whose core business is manufacturing, and is equipped with essential functions for manufacturing management.
The four functions can be freely combined, to create specialized systems for progress management, quality management, equipment management, and operation management.

Feature1

Identification of production bottlenecks

Progress management

• Production time and current progress can be checked for each line, process, and equipment, and production backlogs can be extracted in real time.
• The line progress of entire factories can be centrally managed.
• Work events can be entered for each process.

Feature2

Monitoring and analysis of quality changes

Quality management

• Real-time management of indicators is made possible by statistical process control (SPC).
• Alarm function activates when threshold values are exceeded.
• Quality data for analysis can be downloaded.

Feature3

Real-time monitoring of equipment status

Equipment management

• Data is automatically collected from equipment via PLC.
• Visualizes equipment performance and availability.
• Equipment status can be collectively managed using the andon function.
• Includes a maintenance schedule function.

Feature4

Support for productivity improvement analysis

Operation management

• Performs GAP analysis of planned (piece rate, delivery compliance rate, production lead time) and actual performance.
• Improvement processes can be identified from differences between actual performance times and standard times.
• The operation rate and productivity of each equipment can be visualized.
