Vertical Integration: The Essential Part of Any Digitalization Strategy
Digital transformation seeks to use technology to achieve your goals: fewer errors, more production, better product quality and improved customer service. The vertical integration of enterprise and IT technologies — also known as "smart manufacturing" or Industry 4.0 — synchronizes commercial systems, such as production orders from the ERP, with manufacturing systems like the DCS, weigh scales or barcode readers.
This webinar will show you how can reduce product quality errors, batch cycle times and operating costs

Improving Overall Equipment Effectiveness in Batch Operations
Overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) has proved to be helpful for continuous processes, but can the same principles be applied to improve equipment effectiveness in batch operations? The short answer is, yes. With some refocused metrics, manufacturers that run batch processes can shorten cycle times and address their own high-value problems by correlating performance, downtime and quality to products and equipment. We spoke with Stuart Forrest, MES Business Consultant for AspenTech, to get the inside scoop on batch OEE and find out what kind of results manufacturers can expect by tracking it through an advanced MES solution.
