Beyond simple monitoring, an advanced MES incorporates planning algorithms (APS) that optimize production sequences, adjust schedules, and redistribute resources according to demand or unforeseen events. At Geprom, advanced planning functions are based on real-time data, facilitating immediate adjustment of the production plan.

Many manufacturers fear that an MES system will only work with state-of-the-art machines. However, Geprom’s technology incorporates protocols and connectors that allow legacy machines and new equipment to “speak the same language.” Thanks to this interoperability, you can update your processes without facing a costly total renovation of the equipment.

When MES is integrated with the MOM system, all information flows in a unified environment, reducing the repeated entry of data and minimizing errors. Geprom’s MES software is designed to work seamlessly with higher and lower-level systems, ensuring complete visibility from raw material to finished product.

The implementation of any MES system involves a learning curve, but Geprom has developed agile methodologies to accelerate the start-up. Many factories begin to notice visible improvements, such as a lower scrap rate or unexpected stoppages, in the first few weeks. Over time, the system refines the workflow and maximizes the efficiency of the entire production chain.

An effective MES collects and analyzes production data in real time, allowing you to pinpoint the exact location where a bottleneck is forming. At Geprom, the MES system offers intuitive dashboards and automatic alerts that help you react immediately to inefficiencies, without having to stop the entire plant to “investigate” the source of the problem.

Our artificial vision systems integrate natively with PLCs, collaborative robots, MES and ERP systems, as well as other existing machines in the plant. In addition, our engineering team is responsible for the start-up and training of personnel, ensuring a seamless transition and simple maintenance. This ensures that production is not affected and that the system is prepared to grow along with the future needs of the factory.

Each project is adjusted to the level of automation and complexity of the production line. At Geprom, we work with a methodology that includes a prior technical and economic feasibility study, which allows us to precisely define the investment. The ROI is usually achieved in a short period, as the system eliminates unnecessary rejections, reduces line stops, minimizes waste, and increases efficiency. Our clients achieve returns on investment in periods ranging from a few months to a maximum of 2 years, depending on the sector and production volume.

At Geprom, we design artificial vision solutions fully adapted to each production process. Our systems can perform quality inspections (surface and dimensional), assembly verification, presence/absence control of parts, code reading, and complete product traceability. Thanks to advanced AI and machine learning algorithms, our equipment not only detects visible defects but also learns and improves over time, ensuring error reduction and greater consistency in production.
