SIMATIC IT

Increasing competitiveness is today a must for manufacturing companies.
MES is the key element to guarantee the integration of all components, ensuring optimal quality and production efficiency across all global facilities.
Siemens was one of the first to understand the challenges facing manufacturing industries, offering SIMATIC IT as a solution.

SIMATIC IT is a collection of highly-integrated components, designed to integrate the systems within each factory, standardize production across the entire enterprise and keep manufacturing processes aligned with supply chain activity.

SIMATIC IT provides a high level Framework-Concept environment that enables the description of the manufacturing processes and operation procedures, synchronizing and coordinating the functions provided by the individual components.

To properly support collaboration between the different manufacturing environments, Siemens broadened the scope of ISA-95, tackling areas at the business level that are directly connected to the manufacturing execution. To support this extended environment SIMATIC IT product family is growing into three different Suites.

SIMATIC IT Production Suite is the pure plant-centric solution, covering the ISA-95 issue.

SIMATIC IT Intelligence Suite is the solution for manufacturing visibility. It transforms data into knowledge and supports fast decision making at every level in the enterprise.

SIMATIC IT R&D Suite is the solution for integrating product specification and execution, integrating product and process design.


SIMATIC IT Benefits

The largest benefits of SIMATIC IT come from leveraging the visibility that its full MES proposition affords into overeaching continuous process improvement and supply chain management strategies. At a fraction of the cost and time of an ERP initiative, with the SIMATIC IT platform you can get visibility into accurate, high-velocity information about production performance. This enables you to recognize and then seize new opportunities both internally and in the marketplace.
By extending production visibility throughout the internal supply chain, it's possible to increase product margins on both higher volumes and higher product mix, all while keeping costs constant. The net effect is to preserve profitability despite lower sales - a universal theme for manufacturers in today's uncertain economy.

As overall benefits we can identify:

• Reduction of costs of goods sold (production costs, material costs, product development costs, logistics & distribution costs)
• Increased asset efficiency (equipment and inventory efficiency)
• Revenue growth thanks to product innovations and to improvements in the customer service and thanks to price optimization
• Improvements in agility, operations excellence and governance.
