MES for Wire Processing:
Maximum Transparency from Coil to Finished Part

Downtime Management for Linked Systems: Whether for standalone machines or complex process chains (e.g., coiling machine → heat treatment → end finishing): EMC pinpoints exactly where cycle time losses occur and reveals the root causes of productivity drops.

Vendor-Agnostic Integration: Automatically captures performance data across your entire machinery setup – from spring coiling and spring end grinding machines to wire drawing lines and bending centers.

Automated Signal Processing: Machine states, stroke counters, primary operating times, and running times are retrieved directly from machine controls and visualized in real time.

Real-Time Dashboard Visualization: Essential performance parameters – such as target cycle time, current shift volume, and line/drawing speed – are displayed live right on the shop floor and in the office.

Planned vs. Actual Time Comparisons: Automatic evaluation of target specs against actual production times enables precise post-calculation, from small batches to bulk cargo.

Automated Report Distribution: Daily or shift-based performance metrics are delivered directly to responsible plant and shift managers with zero manual effort.

Automated Process Data Capture: Continuous recording of critical parameters – such as furnace temperatures, carbon potential values, and inspection data from integrated measuring stations.

Secure Parameter Transfer to Machines: For every order, exact setpoint values (e.g., target temperature for tempering furnaces) are automatically sent to the machine controller, reliably preventing manual input errors.

Complete Traceability & Documentation: All captured process data is permanently linked to the respective production order and material batch.

Targeted Complaint Prevention: Before starting production, operators must confirm that they have reviewed specific notes or images regarding previous customer complaints for the part.

Completion of Digital Inspection Checklists: Whether for first-piece and last-piece sampling or re-authorization after a setup interruption: all required inspection steps must be acknowledged step by step at the terminal.

Process-Interlocked Machine Activation: EMC only enables the physical signal to release the machine once the operator has fully completed and confirmed all checklist items.

Centralized Access to Production Documents: Setup sheets, engineering drawings, and inspection instructions are accessible paperlessly and always in the latest version directly at the machine terminal.

Targeted Coil, Reel, and Container Tracking: Capture raw material coils, drawn intermediate dimensions, and finished reels simply by scanning barcodes or QR codes right at the terminal.

Error-Free Batch Assignment: Every kilogram of wire used is precisely allocated to the production order, guaranteeing full traceability for your customers.

Transparent Workstation Inventory: Shop floor operators can see at a glance which raw material is staged at the machine and which containers need to be transported next.
