For many years we have been involved in MES and MIS, (Manufacturing Execution/Information Systems), using a range of products from various vendors including AspenTech, Rockwell, Siemens, GE, Wonderware. Additionally we have developed bespoke systems tailored to client’s specific needs using either SCADA systems else DotNet technologies. At first glance a bespoke system may not be a first choice, but on reflection, for the right application standard hardware and software can be put together in a very clever but easily maintained way to deliver a cost effective, reliable, customer focussed and maintainable solution.
At Optimal we have a pragmatic approach to MES/MIS, as we believe that at the end of the day the tools are simply automation technologies that have to be applied in a way that fulfils your requirements in a pragmatic and cost effective manner.
