The DELMIA Apriso platform is one of today’s most powerful solutions for achieving manufacturing excellence. However, there’s one condition: It must be optimized to run at its full potential. Over time, even the most advanced MES solutions develop inefficiencies, configuration gaps, and performance bottlenecks that hurt productivity and reliability.
Andea’s health check offers a proactive, automated, proven, and expert-driven way to ensure DELMIA Apriso capabilities keep supporting your production and manufacturing operations. With experienced consultants, a tested two-week process, and actionable deliverables, you can pinpoint and prioritize improvements that help you innovate and achieve a lasting competitive edge.
In the context of MES systems, a health check is a structured evaluation of the software’s performance, configuration, and overall efficiency. It’s not just about checking if the system is up and running, but rather ensuring the system is running as effectively as it possibly can and should.
Andea’s health check is a comprehensive diagnostic process designed specifically for manufacturing environments relying on DELMIA Apriso. It goes far beyond the basics of uptime monitoring, offering an in-depth review of the platform’s inner workings. Our experts check all crucial MES areas, from database configurations to performance metrics, ensuring every component is optimized for your manufacturing needs.
Some key aspects the health check covers include:
Configuration validation: Checking if your system setup aligns with Andea’s recommended standards.
Performance analysis: Identifying slow transactions, resource bottlenecks, and inefficiencies.
Risk factors: Areas where the system might fail or degrade if left unchecked.
In short, you can think of it as the MES equivalent of a full medical check-up for your manufacturing operations.
For manufacturers relying on DELMIA Apriso, performance issues can have a domino effect:
Delayed production schedules lead to missed delivery deadlines.
Lower system responsiveness affects operators and slows decision-making.
Undetected configuration errors increase the risk of downtime.
Higher maintenance costs pile up from emergency fixes.
High resource utilization leads to expensive hardware upgrades or higher cloud services costs.
That’s where Andea’s MES health check comes to make a difference. Our experts designed it to help you proactively identify and resolve these issues before they impact your bottom line. Unlike reactive troubleshooting, which kicks in after a problem occurs, our health check is a preventive, deep-dive assessment into the health of your DELMIA Apriso system.
When it comes to optimizing DELMIA Apriso, experience matters more than many realize. Over the years, Andea has gained unparalleled real-world experience, compiling our experts’ know-how into the best practices framework. During the health check, we benchmark your current environment against these best practices.
Andea does more than just following a manual. Andea experienced Consultants have seen DELMIA Apriso integrated across diverse industries and navigated both small-scale optimizations and complex global projects. This depth of expertise means Andea’s team can quickly identify whether an issue is a small tweak or a symptom of a deeper architectural challenge. The goal is simple, and it’s to help determine and resolve the issues that might impact your profitability and ensure that your MES performs as expected.
The health check begins with a dedicated information-gathering phase. This phase requires only limited involvement from your internal team.
The data gathered includes:
We leverage automation tools to collect this information quickly and accurately, ensuring no critical detail is missed. By the end of this stage, our team has a comprehensive dataset ready for detailed analysis.
Once the data is collected, our experts conduct the core system review. This is performed remotely and often completed within one week. During this stage, the team:
This is the stage where the experience of Andea’s Consultants truly matters. They know how to differentiate between “typical” glitches and genuine performance red flags, ensuring that only actionable issues make it to the final report.
The final stage of the process is all about turning insights into action. We compile a detailed report that summarizes findings, prioritizes issues, and lays out a clear roadmap to improvement.
The report includes:
The review session with the client is collaborative, ensuring that both technical and business stakeholders understand the findings and agree on the next steps.
A predictable and efficient timeline is a key strength of Andea’s DELMIA Apriso health check. While every manufacturing environment is unique, most health checks follow a two-week cycle from kickoff to delivery of results. Here’s what that typically looks like:
For most companies, this two-week lead time is fast enough to catch emerging issues before they turn into operational problems. However, at Andea, we understand that some environments may require more time, especially those with multiple plants, numerous instances, or complex integrations. In such cases, the health check timeline is adapted to fit the project’s scale, the system’s complexity, and your individual situation.
Manufacturers need to be aware that the health check is a diagnostic and advisory service, not an implementation project. That means:
Andea identifies and documents the issues.
Our consultants recommend the best course of action.
Our experts provide a remediation plan and risk assessment.
However, fixing the identified issues is not part of the health check itself. Any corrective work, upgrades, or reconfigurations become a separate project, with timelines and costs depending on the scope and complexity of the problems found.
This approach is intentional as it ensures that the health check remains unbiased. Since the goal is to provide an accurate, objective assessment, there’s no incentive to exaggerate issues just to create follow-up work.
Andea’s health check service is easy to initiate and requires minimal involvement from your internal teams. The whole process has been thoroughly designed and fine-tuned over the years, making it the industry’s top optimization service. Here’s what you can expect:
Reach out via email. Andea’s specialists will setup a web meeting with you to have a brief discussion to understand your specific DELMIA Apriso needs and determine the next steps.
We will help you determine and decide how many environments (plants, instances, or servers) should be included in the health check, as this will define the project’s size and timeline.
We will organize and schedule the info-gathering phase that’s convenient for you. This will involve installing or enabling automated data collection tools and setting up secure access for consultants.
As described earlier, the health check process runs its course over approximately two weeks, with minimal daily disruption.
After the final report is prepared, you’ll have a collaborative review session with our experts to discuss findings, ask questions, voice concerns, and hear recommendations.
The best part? With no long-term contracts or hidden fees, the health check is a low-risk, high-value way to benchmark your system’s health and DELMIA Apriso’s performance. You also have complete freedom in deciding whether to act on the recommendations immediately, later, or with your internal teams.
One conversation with Andea sets you on the path to a more efficient and optimized DELMIA Apriso. No long contracts, no hidden costs, just actionable insights that keep your shop floor productive.
Small configuration drifts, growing data volumes, and evolving production needs gradually affect responsiveness and stability. Regular optimization keeps the system aligned with best practices.
Could we just wait until something breaks to fix it?
You could, but we advise against it. Reactive fixes are often more expensive and disruptive than preventive maintenance. A health check helps identify risks before they cause downtime.
Warning signs include slower response times, frequent errors, unexplained downtime, or rising maintenance costs.
No. Even new MES implementations benefit from early health checks, ensuring the system is configured correctly and set up for long-term stability.
Typically two weeks: 3 days for data gathering, 1 week for analysis, and 1–2 days for reporting and review.
Not at all. Most of the work is automated, with minimal input required from your internal staff.
No. Remote access and secure data collection tools are enough, though on-site checks can be arranged if necessary.
You’ll receive both a written document and a collaborative review session with our consultants to ensure findings are clear and actionable.
By proactively identifying weak points in configuration, performance, and integrations before they result in failures.
