Challenge
Improve production downtime.
Increase order reliability with the introduction of a local system.
All these improvements are applied on the filling lines to achieve high system availability.
Solution
Packages and shipment preparation were controlled by the central SAP system via transport orders. A bi-directional interface with iDocs (XML file exchange between SAP PI and Legato via “http post”) was implemented in Legato.
The Legato MES terminal (HTML-5 application) supports server-based interfaces to the Legato web server (the HTML-5 application is also loaded here), as well as local interfaces for the connection of peripheral devices, such as a USB printer and various scanners.
Results
High-availability data environment for production with fewer outages.
An easy-to-use interface at the workstation.
High flexibility for functional expansions (e.g. the planned expansion of “Tracking & Tracing”).
