MPDV is one of the leading suppliers of Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES). They offer solutions for competitive businesses with innovative and sophisticated MES systems of high quality and a broad range of services. Year founded: 1977

Roima Intelligence specializes in improving its customer’s competitiveness. Their customers are in the food and technology industries (machine and instrument manufacturers as well as engineering companies). Their solutions help customers achieve a more cost efficient production and supply chain, maintain and increase the quality and innovativeness of their products and thus generate more added value to their customers.

The proposed MES architecture is based on the Internet of Things (IoT), completely linking all resources and the manufacturing companies' security needs. Consequently, shop floor and IT clouds should be separated. In order for the machine level to reap benefits from cloud technologies, a specific modification known as the edge cloud or fog, was employed. The central instance, the Edge Gateway, connects the edge cloud with the IT cloud. Therefore, shop floor components can communicate with each other in real time and the IT cloud can retrieve and manage the data. IT support in production plays a key role for Integrated Industry (Industry 4.0). In order to cover future production processes new standards and functions are required, which will especially affect MES applications. MPDV introduces a concept for the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) of the future MES 4.0.

A profitable service business requires efficient machinery and devices, quick solutions to arising problems and services that bring concrete improvements to the production process. Smart and innovative devices can help direct the user to optimize their process, collect and display data relevant to the process and communicate with their surroundings. Smart devices enable efficient production, which differentiates the product from its competition and moves the focus from the acquisition cost to the lifecycle benefits. Reliability of delivery, flexibility and a constant ability to generate quality are the cornerstones of customer satisfaction and quick capital turnover. All this needs an ever growing amount of data to be processed in real time throughout the supply chain. Work that does not enhance efficiency must be automated and people moved into processes where they can add value. Roima has helped their customers create new business models such as digital services using the Industrial Internet. They have proven experience of how customers can achieve marked improvements in their ROI using modern digital solutions.
