KHS production management

The demands made on the beverage industry of today are many and varied. Production lines thus have to be effectively controlled and run at optimum capacity. To this end we can offer you a complete, integrated IT system which controls your production process and makes it transparent at all levels. Our Innoline manufacturing execution system (MES ) is a modular, standard software system which has been developed especially for the beverage industry. It provides you with a customized overview of the entire beverage filling process, giving you an essential competitive advantage on ever narrower markets.

Innoline MES is scalable for both individual filling lines and entire plants and can be included in new and existing systems, regardless of the manufacturer. A central database forms the basic core of the system governing all functions of the six available modules, namely line monitoring, order execution, order material tracking, recipe management, order scheduling, and production analysis.

The line monitoring module enables you to acquire production data from filling, packaging, and filling-related processes. The order execution module is an order management system for filling and packaging lines that allows you to allocate production data to filling orders and filling batches. Batch tracking with allocation of production batches to filling orders, filling batches, and pallets is managed by the order material tracking module.

The recipe management module is the central database for critical machine process parameters. It has a threshold monitor that automatically generates an alarm should these values be exceeded. This helps you to avoid production loss and ensures the quality of your products. The order scheduling module makes sure that machinery is running at top capacity and schedules are kept to. The graphic planning board with an online display of orders and machines helps you to optimize your filling planning process. Machine utilization can be either automatic or manual. This means that you can react very quickly to short-term customer inquiries and at the same optimize your order sequence.

Last but not least the production analysis module performs web-based production process analyses throughout all process steps for precise tracking, providing informative, decision-relevant key figures.

The perfect symbiosis of all modules in the Innoline MES helps you to significantly increase your organizational efficiency and clearly reduce your system downtime. With us you can react to new market demands fast and improve all of your filling and packaging processes. This is KHS quality at its best!
