Importaco, an international leader in the agri-food sector, has begun implementing MESView in its Carlet (Snacks) and Cortes de Aguas plants, as part of its industrial digitalization strategy.
Why MESView?
After previous experiences with other MES systems in different plants of the group, Importaco was looking for a more flexible and adaptive solution, capable of adjusting to the diversity of its processes, both discrete and combined with continuous processes. MESView has been selected not only for its power as an MES system, but also for the operational knowledge and experience in industrial processes that its development team brings, which has been key for the group in its decision.
Integration with ERP
The integration of MESView with Importaco’s corporate ERP is complete and bidirectional, the process works as follows:Input from ERP (SAP): Through IDOCs, MESView receives key data such as production orders, materials, bills of materials (BOMs), and routings.Output from MESView: All consumption and production entries are reported via web services, ensuring complete synchronization and traceability.
Beyond MES: an operational platform
Importaco sees MESView as a foundation on which to build a unique platform that integrates not only production, but also:Process controls in the plantDigital training systems for operatorsReal-time indicators for continuous improvementThis approach will allow the group to combine corporate standardization with plant specialization, getting the best of both worlds.
Vision for the future
With this implementation, Importaco positions itself to:Have a consolidated and extensible MES system.Have real flexibility to adapt to the particularities of each process.Facilitate technological unification in a single comprehensive operational platform for all its plants.
Conclusion
Importaco’s commitment to MESView in its Carlet and Cortes de Aguas plants represents a firm step towards efficiency, integration, and digital transformation, leveraging a mature solution that combines technology, flexibility, and industrial experience.
