CPMS - the digital framework
Over 35 years of experience as an independent solutions provider and systems integrator working with many large multinational clients within the manufacturing sector, has enabled us to gain significant insights into the increasing challenges manufacturers are facing and the solutions they require to meet them. Today, manufacturers are trying to cope with the high demand of customer market initiatives requiring production facilities to adapt immediately. This leads to new technologies and constantly changing production requirements to cope with the market demands. The strategy of using a dedicated software product (technology) is at risk due to inflexibility and reaction time to market changes. This is one of the main reasons why we at Contec developed our production management solution (CPMS).
CPMS is a light weight framework fully compatible with industrial standards allowing us to modify production processes immediately, connect any equipment or legacy system and integrate new technologies on the spot.
We also see it as a commitment within our own company to invest in standards that allow us to serve our customers in the best way possible. CPMS is integrated within our standard integration services to deliver a high quality and standardised solution to our customers.
Our vision
The vision of the platform is to become the central platform within the operation area to fully integrate all work processes. Within this setup, CPMS becomes a toolkit for continuous improvement and innovation initiatives. The framework is the ideal supporting platform to embrace LEAN manufacturing processes with direct focus on:
- Waste management;
- Integration of pulling operation methods to reduce WIP, inventory and overproduction where possible;
- Throughput improvements;
- Real-time, immediate quality control interaction.
