Manufacturing Execution System

Enercon recognizes factory visibility and process-wide control is core to competitiveness, and as such has invested heavily in its Manufacturing Execution System (MES). It begins with control of materials – all materials are lot controlled and barcoded upon arrival at Enercon. This tracking provides visibility and control of materials within the factory, and traceability of materials once they have shipped. This control provides an industry-leading material risk-management solution for our customers at no additional cost. Each assembly workstation is equipped with touchscreen displays providing our assemblers a consistent interface.

Material Control

Lot/Serial Tracking of all materials

Inherent FIFO usage via lot numbers

Shelf-life limited material tracking and warning

Moisture Sensitive (MSL) electronic component tracking

SMT component traceability resolution to the Reference-Designator level

Genealogy containership of tracked assemblies

Specific “Bill of Assembly” available for each product assembled

Route Definition and Enforcement

Electronic routes define product steps

Route sequence enforced by blocking a unit that should not be present at a given station

Guides units out of stations and through rework loops where applicable

Operator traceability by unit to work center

Paperless Work Instructions

Visual documentation at each workstation by route step and under revision control

In-Process Quality Data Collection

Operator defect input via touchscreen

Automated defect collection from inspection and test equipment

Access to Real-Time Factory Data

Automated alarms and notifications to events such as quality conditions going out-of-control

Real-time yield and defect data for continuous improvement efforts

Fully electronic Device History Record (eDHR) for each unit produced
