Company Description
MPDV is one of the leading suppliers of Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES). They offer solutions for competitive businesses with innovative and sophisticated MES systems of high quality and a broad range of services.
Year founded: 1977
Year founded: 1977
IoT Solutions
The proposed MES architecture is based on the Internet of Things (IoT), completely linking all resources and the manufacturing companies' security needs. Consequently, shop floor and IT clouds should be separated. In order for the machine level to reap benefits from cloud technologies, a specific modification known as the edge cloud or fog, was employed. The central instance, the Edge Gateway, connects the edge cloud with the IT cloud. Therefore, shop floor components can communicate with each other in real time and the IT cloud can retrieve and manage the data.
IT support in production plays a key role for Integrated Industry (Industry 4.0). In order to cover future production processes new standards and functions are required, which will especially affect MES applications. MPDV introduces a concept for the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) of the future MES 4.0.
