Manufacturers across all industries rely on Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) like DELMIA Apriso to manage, control, and optimize manufacturing operations. However, MES performance issues can halt production, delay decisions, and cause costly downtimes, leading to financial losses.
At Andea, we understand the frustration performance issues can cause. That’s why our Application Maintenance Services team offers comprehensive MES support, ensuring continuous system optimization, reliability, and peak efficiency. Our MES performance services are designed to detect, diagnose, and resolve MES performance issues before they disrupt your operations.
Manufacturing systems are built to accelerate production, not slow it down. Yet over time, many organizations begin to notice signs that their MES isn't running as smoothly as it used to.
Operators wait longer and longer for screens to load and the system to respond to other queries. Background jobs that once took seconds now stretch into minutes. Sometimes, you need to execute critical operations earlier than planned to guarantee staff availability. These aren’t isolated issues but rather symptoms of a system under strain. And when your system slows down, so does your entire operation.
In early stages, MES performance issues rarely affect the boardroom’s operations. Most often, they first show up on the shop floor, impacting:
Shopfloor operators, who experience frustrating delays during production.
Warehouse users, who face lags that slow down inventory management.
Business users who are impacted by delayed data and reporting.
Machines integrated with the MES or third-party systems, which begin to experience interruptions or failed communications.
From then, if not spotted and eliminated in time, the effects of DELMIA Apriso performance issues ripple throughout the entire enterprise.
MES solutions are not static but evolve alongside your business, requiring tailored MES performance services. Why? It’s simple: Adding new users and new data over time changes the use case, placing greater demands on the system. As the database grows and concurrent users increase, performance naturally starts to dip.
In many cases, the original system capabilities were neither designed nor intended to support current production demands. And if the MES hasn’t been reconfigured to support the manufacturing growth, the performance issues are inevitable.
The causes of MES performance issues are often distributed across multiple layers of the system. Identifying the true root cause requires a comprehensive and methodical approach. Only then is it possible to determine the actual source of problems, which might include:
The MES solution itself may not be optimized for current use cases.
The database may be overloaded with data, poorly indexed, or running on outdated infrastructure.
Interfaces with third-party systems may be sending or requesting data inefficiently.
The operating system (OS) and underlying applications might not be configured for high performance.
At Andea, we offer MES performance services that go far beyond surface-level fixes. We start with a deep-dive analysis, both of your MES implementation and the way your teams use the system day by day.
Our experts use their exhaustive experience to precisely identify bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and pain points. Then we develop a tailored action plan that may include:
Reconfiguring your MES, OS, or related applications
Archiving historical data to free up system resources
Redesigning and improving SQL code developed by your team
Improving database performance by managing indexes and reconfiguring administrative parameters
Implementing targeted system optimizations
Validating all key users
If you’re facing MES performance issues, you’re not the only one. More importantly, it’s far from the end of the road. Whether your enterprise runs on DELMIA Apriso or another MES platform, our Application Maintenance Services team has the expertise and the tools to restore your system’s speed, stability, and reliability.
Moreover, you can count on us to develop a well-crafted action plan. This roadmap will guide us to the root cause of your situation, enabling us to eliminate all guesses and hypotheses from the process. Armed with experience and knowledge and backed by a thorough analysis of your MES performance issues, we effectively solve your problems.
Our mes performance services will help you get back on track fast.
