What role does electronic kanban play in MES system

As is well known, electronic kanban management is a means for enterprises to achieve intelligent, visual, and real-time functions. It is also an important component of MES systems and is particularly suitable for production-oriented enterprises because it can manage data at a glance.

In the electronic bulletin board, the real-time situation of the current production line will be displayed, such as planned production volume, actual production volume, variance value, achievement rate, defect rate, and other parameters. As an integration, visualizing the operational status of some production, quality, equipment, etc. helps production managers discover problems in a timely manner and solve them in a timely manner.

The main function of MES system electronic kanban is:

1、 Timely transmission of production instructions

Due to the fact that production plans are generally formulated centrally, they need to be issued simultaneously to various production departments. The corresponding daily production instructions and production instructions for other processes in each department can also be implemented through electronic dashboards.

2、 Adjust production balance

Due to the many unpredictable events in the production process, it is impossible to strictly follow the plan. Therefore, it is necessary to use kanban to fine tune or modify the monthly production imbalance and daily production plan. At this point, electronic kanban serves as a bridge connecting processes, departments, and logistics, playing a significant role.

3、 Improve functionality

By viewing and analyzing electronic dashboards, we can discover some production problems, which facilitates our production managers to take corresponding measures in a timely manner, prevent the occurrence of some error events, and improve accuracy and efficiency.
