Momentum is an integrated MOM platform, with the MES as its foundation, complemented by APS, QMS, BMS, and WMS. Together, these modules provide an end-to-end solution that helps manufacturers increase business momentum – producing faster, smarter, and more sustainably, with maximum control over quality and complexity.
The foundation: Manufacturing Execution System (MES)
The MES is the cornerstone of Momentum and forms the layer between ERP and SCADA.
It manages, schedules, and monitors the execution of manufacturing processes – from raw materials to finished goods – and connects enterprise software, machinery, equipment, and resources.
MES advantages:
- Optimizes the entire production process: monitoring, recording, and control.
- Centralizes all knowledge in one platform (no paper or scattered files).
- Reduces downtime and simplifies root-cause analysis.
- Transparent end-to-end track & trace.
- OEE dashboards to track performance, downtime, and output in real time.
Integrated technologies within MES:
- Labeling Management System
- Personnel Management
- Workinstructions
- Track & Trace
- Historian & Reporting
- Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)
The four additional modules of the MOM platform
- Advanced Production Scheduling (APS)
Optimizes production planning by considering inventory, production time, delivery deadlines, and quality risks.
- Flexible and partly automated scheduling.
- Minimizes waste and increases output.
- Continuous improvement via real-time planning boards.
- Quality Management System (QMS)
Supports quality control, ensures compliance, and enables continuous improvement.
- Track & trace, audit trail, and reaction plans.
- Digital signatures and Statistical Process Control (SPC).
- Benefits: higher customer satisfaction, risk reduction, greater efficiency.
- Batch Management System (BMS)
Essential for process industries and perishable goods.
- Manages recipes and tracks batches throughout the supply chain.
- Benefits: consistent product quality, reduced waste, shorter lead times.
- Warehouse Management System (WMS)
Optimizes logistics operations – standalone or integrated.
- Manages inbound/outbound goods, inventory, and order picking.
- Benefits: higher efficiency, less waste, better space utilization, real-time inventory visibility.
