Knowing your products have been made to the correct quality specifications before they are shipped is of critical importance.
A MES/MOMS monitors product and process characteristics in real-time, notifying plant personnel as soon as deviations are detected. Using its Product Genealogy capabilities, the MES/MOMS can rapidly determine the scope of the quality deviation, and quarantine production to ensure none of the suspect product is shipped. In addition to its real-time capabilities, the MES/MOMS captures historical quality information, providing detailed information to support on-going quality improvement initiatives.
