Power up your production with JD Edwards

Industry 4.0 has revolutionized the way companies operate, introducing a new paradigm of smart and connected production. In this digital transformation scenario, it is essential to have advanced technological solutions that allow you to maximize the benefits of this revolution. That's where JD Edwards comes in, offering a complete and efficient Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system to boost your production and make it truly intelligent.

Production process monitoring and management

JD Edwards is a complete solution with advanced automation and integration capabilities, providing a robust platform to monitor and manage all stages of your production process. With real-time data and accurate analysis, you will have reliable information to support your strategic decisions, resulting in greater agility, efficiency and quality in all your processes.

Through JD Edwards, you will have full control over your production, allowing a broad and detailed view of each step, from material procurement to delivery. This complete, real-time visibility enables you to quickly identify problems, optimize resources and make assertive decisions, boosting your company's performance and competitiveness.

One of JD Edwards' outstanding functionalities is Orchestrator, a powerful tool that allows you to connect your production sensors to the ERP system. Through a suitable middleware, which translates the data and sends it to a logical address, Orchestrator is able to process this information, make decisions according to business rules and send data or actions to the ERP. This two-way communication flow is vital for precise control of your production process, making it smarter and more efficient.

However, to get the very best results from JD Edwards and make the most of Industry 4.0, you need to carry out detailed mapping work.

You need to identify and understand the main factors of your production process, such as production bottlenecks, production speed, setup times, possible process failures, supply and consumption points, as well as ensuring precise and accurate control of the inventory of direct materials, semi-finished and final goods.

Once the most important factors are mapped and understood, the logical cause and effect relationship between them is established, so that it is possible to create intelligent decision algorithms in the production chain. At the other end of the process, it is necessary to define how the production chain will be monitored, with the appropriate indicators and what are the triggers that trigger the need for human intervention. No less important is to consider performing not only preventive maintenance of equipment, but also automated predictive maintenance, and integrating it with the decision algorithms of the 4.0 manufacturing system, speeding up decision making and avoiding stops in the production line.

In addition, it is critical to ensure that the network infrastructure on production lines is functioning properly. Based on this detailed analysis, you can map out a solid strategy for your Manufacturing 4.0 deployment and make the most of JD Edwards capabilities.
