Successful Project Implementation

“The main motivation was to get real-time online data available 24/7 and start digitalizing production to improve processes.”

What SITEM does:

• Manufacture and sale of magnetic sheets for electric machines and metal stampings – especially cutting, pressing, and assembling sheet metal parts.

Reason for acquiring the Zapsi MES System:

Collecting production data in real-time, available 24/7.
Initiating production digitalization to improve processes and increase efficiency.

Benefits of the Zapsi MES System:

• Obtaining real-time data on machine status – when it is producing, idle, or switched off.
• Information on workstation status, overview of cycles, downtimes, and their causes.
• Clear documentation – especially when integrating the ZAPSI and Helios systems.
• Simplicity of the entire system.
• Ability to customize the Zapsi MES System.

“As they say, paper can take a lot, but the online system eliminated inaccuracies from manual data entry.”

Workplace overview

In this case, it is one of the key parts of the system that we use regularly – it provides a comprehensive overview of individual production workplaces. Within seconds, we obtain clear information about current events. If more detailed data is required, it is possible to use links to other parts of the system's user interface – Zapsi Web.

Downtime statistics

Information about downtime is also important to us. Thanks to the Zapsi system, we can easily eliminate or optimize unplanned—and therefore unwelcome—time losses.

How the project was implemented:

The company decided to implement the Zapsi MES System including software and hardware adjustments:

Everything went smoothly and continues to operate correctly – from unit specification, offer preparation, fast delivery, to communication and specific software and hardware adjustments.

During implementation, there was only a misunderstanding of the reporting function – when the machine is idle vs. switched off (not clear from the original manual), but Zapsi resolved it quickly and efficiently.

“Overall, we appreciate the quick support and the customer portal.”

Future use:

In the future (already in progress), the goal is full integration of the ERP system with the Zapsi MES System:

• Production orders
• Completed pieces
• Causes of downtimes, etc.
