Modernizing Legacy MES for a Global Health Science Leader
The Challenge
An industry leader in nutrition and health science needed to modernize operations across eight production lines. Their outdated, customMES system posed challenges such as:
Limited scalability and functionality
Increasing maintenance overhead
Risk of production disruptions during the transition
Integration complexity across 36 PLCs
The Solution
We deployed a phased MES rollout featuring:
Two MES instances separating health science and beverage production
AVEVA System Platform and InTouch visualization for intuitive operator control
Ten modular MES features, including Recipe Management, Manufacturing Monitoring, and Production Scheduling
A standardized code base to ensure consistent functionality across all lines
The Results
Fully transitioned with zero additional downtime
Reliable, maintainable software supported by internal teams
Modular architecture allowing future enhancements
Standardized functionality improving operational consistency across all lines
