argemas MES

"Uninterrupted Performance and Job Tracking on the Production Line" Collecting live data from press, casting, welding and assembly lines in metalworking plants, argemas MES tracks machine downtime and cycle times to the second. Managing digital work orders through operator panels, it pushes productivity to its peak in complex production processes.

  • Machine Efficiency & OEE

    Monitors the performance of casting and press machines, reporting unplanned downtime.

  • Digital Work-Order Management

    With paperless production, projects the job to be done and the technical drawings to operators in real time.

  • Maintenance & Repair

    Provides production continuity with predictive-maintenance tracking for critical heavy-industry machines.

  • Quality & Defect Analysis

    Records deviations during production, minimizing scrap rates.

  • Balanced Line Setup & Assignment Optimization

    Balanced lines and continuous flow are the precondition for raising productivity. The assignment-optimization algorithm uses operators' actual efficiency and quality data to calculate which operator should be assigned to which operation, and builds balanced lines automatically.

argemas ERP

"End-to-End Traceability and Capacity Planning" Managing the metal industry's complex BOMs and subcontracted operations, argemas ERP optimizes capacity planning. Offering full traceability from raw material to finished product, it builds a corporate structure that protects quality standards.

  • Dynamic Capacity Planning

    Optimizes machine loading and production sequence, securing delivery dates.

  • Cost Analysis

    Tracks the metal industry's raw-material- and energy-intensive cost items in real time.

  • Lot & Serial-Number Traceability

    Tracks every metal part's full history, from its raw-material certificate to the final processing step.

argemas WMS

"Safe Stock and Logistics Management for Heavy Industry" Tracking metal sheet, profile or part-based stock with addressing, argemas WMS manages the complexity of heavy-industry logistics. Digitalizing the process from goods receipt to shipment, it ensures the right material reaches the right production line on time.

  • Barcoded Stock Tracking

    Enables error-free, fast positioning of tonnage and part-based materials in the warehouse.

  • Subcontracting & External-Supply Management

    Manages externally performed heat-treatment, painting or coating processes with logistics tracking.

  • Shipment Verification

    Eliminates the risk of wrong parts or missing quantities during loading with barcode readers.

Frequently Asked Questions

argemas MES monitors the operating performance of casting and press machines in real time. It tracks cycle times to the second and reports unplanned downtime by cause. Digital work orders are managed through operator panels, and with paperless production technical drawings are shown to the operator instantly. This takes productivity to its peak in heavy industry's complex production processes and minimizes scrap rates.
argemas ERP secures delivery dates by optimizing machine loading and production sequence. Raw-material- and energy-intensive cost items are tracked in real time. The full history of every metal part produced, from the raw-material certificate to the last machining step, is traced by lot and serial number. It provides a corporate structure that protects quality standards.
Externally performed heat-treatment, painting or coating processes are tracked by the argemas MES subcontract tracking module; in logistics-heavy setups, the subcontracting and external-supply management module of @rgeWMS also manages them together with their logistics tracking. Parts sent to the subcontract workshop are dispatched by lot, and the returning goods pass quality control before they are taken into the system. Tonnage-based and piece-based materials are located in the warehouse quickly and without error by barcode.
argemas MES tracks predictive maintenance for critical heavy-industry machines. Operating hours, load profiles and breakdown history are analyzed to plan maintenance times automatically. Unplanned downtime is prevented and production continuity is ensured. At the shipment stage, barcode readers eliminate the risk of wrong parts or missing quantities.
On press and casting lines the three components of OEE come from different sources: availability is calculated from the machine's running/stopped status, performance from the ratio of actual strokes or cycles to theoretical capacity, and quality from the scrap and rework rate. argemas MES monitors the operating performance of casting and press machines and reports unplanned downtime. On these lines the decisive factors are usually die changes and warm-up times; if these are not categorized separately as downtime reasons, OEE falls but the cause stays invisible.
Unlike maintenance after a breakdown (corrective) or on a calendar (preventive), predictive maintenance is based on measurements from the machine: analog channels such as vibration, current and temperature are monitored, and when a deviation from the normal operating range is detected, the maintenance need is identified before a breakdown occurs. argemas analyzes the data coming from the analog channels of the industrial devices it has developed and automatically assigns a task to the relevant technician when an anomaly is detected. In heavy industry, the cost of one unplanned stoppage is far above the cost of the monitoring hardware.
