Repost: A Shift In Focus: The Value Of Serialization, with comments

Serialization, or the ability to capture individually-identified product elements within a final version, is integral for any product that has compliance requirements.  Serialization has always been a foundational function of a Manufacturing Execution System.  The ability to track components prior to assembly, or blending, allows manufacturers or processors better visibility into the performance of these components, as well as a firmer handle on quality and any remediation efforts that occur if a product fault occurs.

Wonderware MES, coupled with ArchestrA Workflow, provides the backbone for providing deep and complete serialization tracking of components and lots.  It reinforces compliance efforts with closed-loop track/trace/genealogy.  We'll be talking more about ArchestrA Workflow in pharmaceutical at our Users Conference-- so join us and see why we say it's a Revolution.

SPC for the Real World | Automation World

SPC for the Real World | Automation World

A good interview by John Clemons of Maverick Technologies on the need for SPC for manufacturing.  As costs, time, and market pressures come to bear, SPC is a foundational technology to help manufacturers understand behavior and trends of their manufacturing process.  Most automation providers offer some type of SPC functionality, whether it is within their HMI (like Wonderware InTouch) or as a standalone Quality application (like Wonderware MES/Quality).  But whether it's solo, or as part of a suite, it's a critical component that ensures proactive quality management.
