Can you imagine working in a manufacturing company without the help of an ERP, MES, WMS, and many other systems? These solutions are becoming increasingly popular, and new ones are being developed. This trend isn’t surprising, given that the market constantly presents new challenges, demanding adaptability and flexibility. Operating solely in an analog environment is simply too time-consuming and incompatible with the standards of modern organizations.
Digitalization addresses numerous needs across various areas, encompassing sales, purchases, planning, production, warehousing, logistics, accounting, HR and beyond.
However, each new challenge typically brings about the need for new systems. Often, we find ourselves adding another block to our existing structure to put out a fire or optimize bottlenecked processes. Frequently, purchasing or developing a new tool is the cheapest and quickest option, as expanding modules within existing systems, such as an ERP, can be both expensive and complex.
Initially, this approach seems reasonable as the company expands, along with its infrastructure and network of solutions. However, at some point, we may realize that the cost of maintaining this complex structure has become burdensome, a lot of information is unrelated or even entered manually, not without errors, between applications. This way, the technology that was meant to make our work easier, adds even more workload, and the complexity and amount of exchanged information continues to grow.
At this point, it’s crucial to ask ourselves: How much longer can we continue operating like this? And what can be done to address the situation?
The answer lies in the Enterprise Service Bus (ESB), a software tool designed to streamline communication within a company by facilitating coordinated information distribution. An ESB provides a centralized hub for monitoring and ensuring the continuity of data exchange.
In addition to prioritizing people and processes, effective digitalization requires the adoption of efficient tools, such as AVEVA Enterprise Integration (EI). the realms of business and IT with the production and operational technology landscape. Stay tuned for future posts where we’ll delve deeper into this transformative technology.
