Solumina MES overview

What is Solumina MES?

Solumina Manufacturing Execution System (MES) by iBase-t drives new levels of productivity, quality and compliance for aerospace and defense manufacturers. It provides an integrated platform for planning, executing, and tracking complex work processes, with embedded quality management to enforce quality best-practices throughout your production operations.

Key focuses include workflow execution and tracking, change management, resource management, automated data collection from machines and test equipment, product traceability, historical document archival, enterprise quality management (EQMS), and MBE.

Solumina MES is purpose-built for complex discrete manufacturers in highly regulated industries, including aerospace and defense, space, satellite, nuclear, shipbuilding, and industrial equipment.

Built on a cloud-native, microservices architecture, Solumina MES offers seamless scalability, upgradeability, cybersecurity, and extendibility. From the shop floor to the top floor, Solumina MES is revolutionizing the digital transformation of complex discrete manufacturing.

Key benefits of using Solumina MES

Fewer Defects
Solumina MES helps ensure work is done correctly the first time, and reduces rework and waste with buyoffs linked with operator certifications and audits.

Efficiency Gains
Solumina MES updates data to all other systems in real time. It helps to avoid repetitive manual work and prevents errors due to translation. When integrated into other business systems, Solumina MES can be used for process optimization, in addition to process execution.

Embedded Enterprise Quality
Solumina MES embeds enterprise quality processes, including non-conformance management, corrective actions, inspection planning and more into your production processes.

On-Time Delivery
Calculating an entire enterprise’s ability to meet delivery goals can be challenging. Solumina MES gives access to a digital model of the factory floor that provides visibility into the status of every process in real time. Each production unit can be traced on its way through different workstations, and into the end user’s hands.

Easier Change Management
In complex discrete manufacturing, engineering change orders (ECOs) are frequent can result in significant downtime and high costs. With Solumina MES, you can implement engineering changes in real time during a production run while keeping operations moving. Avoid the delays associated with other approaches and maintain visibility and traceability as changes are implemented.

Actionable KPIs
Different manufacturers need different methods to calculate their KPIs. Solumina MES visualizes the flow of production with customizable, user-friendly dashboards, dispatches, and graphs. Business-relevant KPIs empower decision-making and optimization, enabling process and engineering improvements.

Process Optimization
Process optimizations are key to enhancing new product introductions, supply chain management, cycle time, and other critical operations. Solumina MES makes best practices standardized throughout the enterprise. As process improvements are made, they can be easily updated and spread through the rest of the organization, no matter the distance.

Closed-loop Quality Management
Closed-loop quality management is needed to innovate and gain an edge over competitors. Solumina MES centralizes all the data and processes needed for quality management. It makes the relevant information accessible and helps to bring new products to market by navigating complex compliance requirements and traceability.

Integrated Systems
Solumina MES' integration with PLM and ERP syncs design information and business records with your production processes, driving accuracy and efficiency.

Managing People as a Resource
For a globalized, complex discrete manufacturer, there is a wide range of workers who are authorized for specific processes. Solumina MES integrates with systems such as Time & Attendance to coordinate the best possible scheduling and ensure the optimal utilization of workers.

Pros
“Aside from being paperless for the most part, the ability to quickly find data is the greatest benefit.”
BB

Brian B.

Quality Leader

“Controlling information exchange/view to appropriate users is also straightforward. Having the ability to establish sign-off criteria within each particular work order is also excellent.”
TJ

Tony J.

Lean Director

“The software captures the needs of production while maintaining good quality. We are currently using the quality module and looking to implement the MES soon.”
WL

William L.

Enterprise Business Process Specialist

Cons
“It can be very clunky and is not easily customized. There are random errors that can occur which is very frustrating, especially since the warning message you receive is not helpful in any way.”

Verified reviewer

Anonymity request

“There are times that Solumina is unstable and kicks user out or particular function stops working and IBase T is unable to explain.”

Senior Manufacturing Technician

“Next, I would point to the risk reduction for data loss or missing data, as product cannot proceed to subsequent workstations without proper closure.”
