GEC NEWS WIREBrowser-Based Interface Supports Flexible Device Deployment Options and Freedom of Hardware Choice
Given the continued adoption of mobility and bring your own device (BYOD), today’s manufacturing workforce expects to access data anytime, anywhere. The next-gen Epicor Mattec manufacturing execution system (MES) is now available and features a new high-performance embedded human machine interface (HMI) to support improved shop floor operator productivity and responsiveness. Supporting an exceptional out-of-the-box experience with no software to load, the new interface enables shop floor personnel to effortlessly manage the plant with maximum efficiency and responsiveness. Ease of access to critical information reduces or eliminates the risk of non-compliance, while improving reliability, process efficiencies and availability and production throughout.
“The adoption of industrial software solutions continues to be driven by consumer trends such as BYOD, Internet of Things, simple customization and pervasive analytics,” said Tom Muth, senior manager, product marketing, Epicor MES. “Manufacturers expect the same flexibility and user experience on the plant floor, but with reliability, security and real-time performance required for industrial environments. The new Epicor Mattec MES embedded shop floor HMI improves operator productivity, mobility, and effectiveness on the shop floor with greater flexibility to deploy the system that best meets the needs of manufacturers and their customers.”
